    Can you give your açaí bowl recipe that you use with that açaí mix!

    • @MeganFoxUnlocked
      @MeganFoxUnlocked  Місяць тому +22

      It's on the back of the package when you buy it, but:
      2 packets of acai
      1 frozen banana
      half a cup strawberries
      4 oz. apple juice
      and then I add a healthy drizzle of honey yet!
      Hope that helps! Delicious!

    These parties are the community moments that women, myself included, pray for. It’s so wonderful that you have such a strong community and how you get together often. Watching you host with young children inspires me that I can do it too!

    Megan, I just wanted to let you know you encourage me so much as a mom. ♥️ My kids are 4 and 1. Sometimes, with the hustle and bustle of life and with how hyper my four-year-old gets, it is really stressful some days. I feel like my energy is being absolutely zapped out of me all day long. Then, once my husband and I get the kids to bed, the house looks like a bomb went off and I have found myself feeling frustrated and resentful lately whereas I used to just do a 45 minute cleanup before I went to bed. I know that I need to get back into doing that and also to surround myself with positive influences, including listening to your videos sometimes throughout the day instead of my true crime podcasts. 😬 Your videos are so encouraging.

    • @emilyrhea35
      @emilyrhea35 Місяць тому +3

      One way to help with that zapped out feeling is teach your 4 year old (especially and the 1 year will follow ) to clean up after themselves - especially toys . Team work makes the dream work and it teaches them responsibility, work ethic and that fairies don’t come and make a clean house :)

  • @WBCRO
    @WBCRO Місяць тому +4

    Megan, I am thrilled to see you consistently making an effort to spend time with your group of friends! Women - not just mothers of young children - can all too easily become isolated. By hosting in such a beautiful and thoughtful way, you have nurtured your peers (and yourself!) in meaningful and lasting ways. Sharing your party prep and post-party observations to your many followers helps inspire and encourage us to stay connected with our own friends and family. No (wo)man is an island; we need each other and that connection helps us through the ups and downs of life. Josh did a stellar job making your beautiful table!

    @hannahthehomesteader Місяць тому +4

    My husband built a table for me and put the "wide piece" on the end. It's called a bread crumb. Anyway, apparently it's REALLY challenging to do that instead of just long planks. The tension on the wood is totally different, had to use an expensive tool, etc. Josh was probably smart to not add the breadcrumb.

    I just love you guys. I started scrolling through comments before I got to the table reveal and got nervous you weren't appreciative of Josh. Can I just say, I'm not sure what all the griping is about. You oogled his craftsmanship and told your kids how talented he is. Maybe the complainers wanted to see you jump in his arms or something, lol.
