    I feel like I have officially gone crazy😵‍💫🙈😂 in the beginning of your video when you were in the car at Starbucks, I heard your little boy saying Mama, and my toddler is supposed to be napping and I literally paused the video and went in there because I thought he was hollering at me🤦🏻‍♀️😂 then I was so confused when he was asleep😑😂😂🙈

    Okay, I was losing my tears with the Evonnie singing section. The video of road thru the farmlands and her singing just reminded me of this great country and what life is all about. I was thinking of how many generations of Gods precious children who have sang those songs before her...

    I am Jewish but I still learn from you and like your view on homemaking. I love how we both have a love of G-d. What you call Sunday Mennonite Supper we call Noshing. We do that on Shabbat or for parties.

    I am in my 80s now & it makes me glad I did this when I was younger for our friends from India as we were one of the first Christian Indian families in the area.
    Hope you have a blessed Christmas in 2023!

    Hope you are all better by now. The mocktail looked yummy. To make it look a little Christmasy you could put a splash of grenadine syrup in it. You are such an incredible homemaker and Evonnie melted my heart with her angelic singing. God bless y'all.

    Hi Megan! I don’t comment very much but I’ve been following you for awhile. I love it when you share Sunday footage! As a Christian it makes me feel very connected to you and your family and helps me remember how we have brothers and sisters all over the world. I usually recognize one or more of the songs. Hope you have a great holiday season!

    what a beautiful video! Seeing your husband help you clean the kitchen floor on his hands and knees felt like such a big relief to me as that's what happens in our home as well and I tend to feel like not being able to get it all done. Thanks for sharing moments like that! I love seeing how you work together as a couple

    When I was pregnant I had HORRIBLE sinus issues- I could not breath for the life of me. I breezed through the first trimester- ZERO morning sickness until I hit my second trimester- then I had hyperemesis gravidarum. I wasn’t able to cook much less clean- it was miserable- totally worth it- but completely miserable. I’m always in awe of pregnant women cooking and cleaning- I wanted to badly to, but everything turned my stomach.

    Meghan - once again I absolutely loved your video. Your depiction of the countryside on a Sunday morning ride to church coupled with the beautiful hymns and (best of all) Evonnie’s beautiful singing brought me to tears of joy. I also especially enjoyed the beautiful little boy antics of Millar - and what a good dad Josh is - as shown by his pure love of engaging with Millar - raking him up in his arms and kissing him. You and your family are truly “rich” beyond comparison- on all the aspects that are truly the most important! I can’t wait to see you with your new little one in your arms - although I so enjoy seeing your baby bump - you are such a cute “mama” - so fashionable in your modesty!!
    Keep up your good video work - I very much like your blend of motherhood, life of faith and hostessing! You keep it real & down to earth!! ❤😊

    Your church’s version of small groups is interesting. We do the “live life together” thing but weekly meetings ups with someone leading a conversation about the sermon & usually a meal or heavy snacks. It’s very diy. We love it.
