My lemonade recipe:
1 gallon water
juice from 4 lemons
juice from 1 orange
2 cups sugar
Mix everything together until sugar is dissolved. I like to substitute half the water with ice. If you would like to serve this with flavored syrup, add another lemon to make it more sour and then the syrups will add additional sweetness. My favorite combos are peach lemonade and blackberry lemonade!

Those are dollar tree boxes. They are good though because I have had mine for years at least four. Use all the time. People buy and sale on Amazon from dollar tree. Josh is a typical man. We support you. Haha! I can tell it hurt your feelings a little. It will work out great. I used decals stickers instead of wall paper because mine did not want wall paper on the wall in the bathroom. Been married 49 yrs yesterday. I made the mistake and asked him first. We love each other dearly and God blessed me with a great man but you all know what I am talking about. Wall paper is not hard. Find your repeat, measure and mark on back. Then its hang it from the ceiling down smooth with scraper thing as you go. I love it!!!! Going to look nice and if you want a change later just redo. Wall paper is coming back and its better then the old stuff. Josh is like my husband he jumped in to help you. Bless his heart. He loves you.
Josh sighs and walks out of the room! Lol 😆 every husband ever!
Cracked me up! lol
Literally every husband in every country lol
Just a little tip with Lemonade. Make a simple syrup...mix your sugar with enough of the water to cover it well...and heat on your stove until it is clear. It's a quick step and I use 1/4 to 1/2 less sugar in lemonade or tea. Dissolving the sugar seems to make it go further....and makes me feel less guilty enjoying the drinks I love.
The fact that your babies are eating exactly what momma and dad are eating is parenting goals 🙌 👏 👌 go Meagan!! ❤
It literally took me ALL day to watch this 🤣 but I couldn’t give it up and move on until I finished the whole video 😍
i feel you 😂
I came over for this mommas house
“Nest With Me” - cutest title ever! My kids are teens, I am unable to have more, so it will be a long time before I am welcoming new babies. Thanks for sharing!
You are such a beautiful young lady😊God bless you and your family❤and congratulations on your new bby to be. This brings back precious memories of when i was a young mama to be. My daughter Maria Alicia is 36 now and I'm so very proud of her. She works from home and does the housework and takes care of the 3 dogs and 2 cats that she and my son in law have. No grandbbys yet, but maybe someday. I can't wait to be a grandma😊❤May God keep you in His care and watch over you all. I enjoy learning about the Mennonite faith, I'm Catholic, and i enjoy learning about other religions.
My husband was listening in while scrolling on his phone. When Josh walked in with his issue about wallpaper, my carpenter husband laughed and said "He knows! That stuff is a hassle!!" 🤣😂 Girl, it turned out so cute!!!
Not pregnant but always like some cleaning/organizing motivation! Prayers for safe delivery and healthy baby! ♥️ You can do it momma!
Aww thanks!
I’m always so bummed when your videos end. 😔
I love, love when you have long videos! Its disappointing when its a short one and its soon over!
Ha thanks! And someone just told me to keep it under 20 minutes. I guess I'll just keep doing whatever works for me. Can't please everyone!
@@MeganFoxUnlocked They can split it up themselves! They don't have to watch it all at one time!
10 year school reunion....😆😅🤣 my husband and I just had our 30 & 31.........ya you are young, and your baby belly is perfect, your not huge at all, I was so HUGE, I couldn't even drive anymore, and had to sir in the back seat starting at 34 weeks with both my girls! I only gained 15 & 13 pounds, and my 1st baby was 8#'s 10 oz.....my second whom I only gained 13 pounds with was 10#'s 8 oz....... and she made me literally look like I was having twins! So ya honey you ARE NOT HUGE!! Your perfectly pregnant! I love the new look in your bathroom, I think you did a great job!! It's subtle, but very elegantly done!! Good job!I love watching your channel, your so down to earth and real!! Thank you for sharing part of your life with us.
BTW prayer time is such a great thing, especially with like minded friends!! 🙏❤💖
A fun thing to do with your IKEA bottles we did for Christmas gifts is HOMEMADE VANILLA!
Woot!Woot! Our neighbors loved them! There are recepis all over to slice VANILLA beans opens and pour vodka or bourbon on them. However for best results start in spring to give them time, about 3 to 6 months or more for better flavor. Give them a shake every month and yum!
You give me such pleasant flashbacks to the days when I was a young wife and mom. :) Some days truly seem like they'll never end, and others seem like nothing goes "right" or according to plan, but when you look back, those aren't the times most remembered. Once the children are raised and on their own, it seems like it all went by so darn fast! Then the memories dwelt upon are those of the good times had, and the loving intent behind every "mistake". :) You are, IMHO, a very good Wife and Mother, and your family, community, and those of us who watch what you share are VERY fortunate that you chose to come on this platform and provide some positive influence to counter balance all of the negative floating around.
Sending you and yours nothing but the best of wishes for all future happiness, with MUCH gratitude.
PS~ you have a very smart hubby. Now is NOT the time to be stressing out too much. Your energies are needed to sustain MANY lives besides your own right now, and for many years to come. "Work" will ALWAYS be there, and you'll get more time to sew for your lil' ones in due time. (get it? due time? LOL) He is your biggest Blessing, and is a "keeper", not a tyrant. Such a gift to have a man who truly "gets it" and CARES about his wife and family, even the pre born member! TY for all you do, and TC~ {hugz}
This is definitely my favourite kind of video!💓
Good for you for not caring about what people say about your pregnancy!! All that matters is how good you feel!🙏
Oh my gosh I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE your character, its so fun, and bubbly and despite me having to go to bed early for an early shift tomorrow I had to keep watching you. Your house is beautiful, you look amazing and I love seeing American grocery shopping videos bc I'm British in the UK its so different. And I've never been to a Trader Joe's but would love to next time I go to the USA (which btw Orlando FL is my happy place 😁)
Sweet dreams!
I am so OCD when it comes to folding my clothes!! My drawers and my hanging clothes are very organized!! My husband just laughs when he watches me fold my clothes because I am so particular!! I hate this over-used phrase but I am going to use it: "You do you and I'll do me"!! We all do what works for us, and there is no right or wrong way!! As a woman who is in a more advanced season of my life, I have found that I have changed the way I do certain things as my circumstances have changed. Megan, can I just say that as a Christian woman of faith myself (I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), I love your video's!! I just found you a few weeks ago and I am hooked on watching your videos!! My children are all in the same stage of life as you are. You remind me so much of my own daughter, who has a daughter who just turned 5, and a 2 1/2 year old son, and they are starting to think about baby #3. All of my children married people within our Church and they are all raising their children in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Your life style is not that much different than ours. We, too believe in dressing modest!! We love fashion and clothes!! Yes, it is very possible to dress very stylish in the latest trends and still be modest!! To this day, I still love decorating my home, and keeping up with the latest trends but still making it my own!! I love blending some of my older pieces with newer pieces. Lately I have really been leaning into the whole BOHO look, and I too, have been spending lots of money on Amazon!! 😉
A note of PDF patterns, you probably know already, but for everyone, you can't go by the sizes your child usually wears, but you have to go by body measurements. Same with adult sizes, usually you have to go by measurements, not your store bought sizes.
I have made that mistake myself, and it's so annoying. 😝
I used to live in the Poconos!!! East Stroudsburg to be exact ❤ the mountains and everything is gorgeous my parents had a house built in 2007...man that seems so long ago now! They live in FL now but I loved that house! The area isn't the best anymore just because of all the people that came from bad areas of NY and brought some bad things with them 😔 still a gorgeous area...I worked at the crossings premium outlets at a children's store Hartstrings which is closed now which is sad...I miss Pennsylvania so much!!
I remember my high school 10 year reunion! Such great memories! That was actually 23 years ago. I can't believe I'm that old!!! Lol You are such an inspiration for me to get things done that I've been procrastinating on!!!Sending blessings to you & your beautiful family!!!🙏❤🍂🌻
My town has bark creek pantry about 15 miles away and I just discovered the bulk spices! Whoa and I got 10 lbs of flour for 3 dollars !!! I was so happy !
Ahh, I'm 37 weeks and feeling very nest-y myself! Love watching your videos while getting stuff done :)
You don't have to be pragnat to feel nest y lol🤦
You’re my favorite content creator, I’ve been watching for about two yrs now. You never let us down, I can’t believe how much you get done! Wishing you and the family all the best! Thank you! 🌻🌻🌻
I’m so happy I found you about two years ago. You have been my favorite UA-camr ever since!! ❤️
I love Trader Joe's we have one 30 minutes away I recently got thier pumpkin gouda cheese and thier pumpkin Broiche bread it made delicious grilled cheese sandwiches with pumpkin bisque soup! It was a big hit! Just finished watching your whats in my diaper bag I'm getting so excited for ya'll cant wait to meet your beautiful little boy💙👶 God Bless Y'all 🙏 lots of love Megan 🤗💜🙏💛🌞💛🖐
Watching with my kids just before their bedtime. 9pm here where I live. Thank you for all of your videos. You are very inspiring. 🌻🎵🎼🎶🌹
P.s. I usually hit the like button before watching the whole video.
Wow! Thanks!
We shopped at a lot of discount food shops growing up. Food, especially canned foods, long outlasts the government mandated “best by” dates. We used to say we were going to the “used foods store.” 😂 We got a Trader Joe’s back home after I moved away, and now I don’t think we have one in the whole state of Wyoming 😂
I like your comment and I double like your user name! 😉👍👍
I just love watching you. You have such a beautiful personality. Bless you. You always brighten the day.
I completely adore Megan Fox videos; trust me- they are my "go-to" when my soul needs to decompress from a day of working with clients that unload their days of events and moods with me. The only teeny tiny thing that I could do without is when folks taste test food. But this is all videos for ME- I have an issue called Misophonia and this causes sounds and noises to be amplified in my head. And what do you know, chewing and swallowing food and beverages just about put me in an insane asylum. Hahaha! But, like I said that's an issue I have personally and it is the same with all videos in general- other than that Megan's videos are TLC for the soul. Keep up the good work, Megan and fam!
I love your videos! I thought I would share what worked for us with a mini van.
What worked great for me with 3 children in a mini van was taking out the middle passenger seat. I put 2 car seats in the back roll and the baby in the one middle seat. It made it so much easier to climb in the back to unbuckle the big kid seats and easy for them to climb out on their own. I use the other sliding door to take baby out. The floor compartment behind the passenger seat holds our travel potty, changing mat and diaper changing supplies.
Hmmm. I wonder if that's a possibility in ours!
I I was going to suggest the same. One seat of the second row. Remove. You unbolt them from the car. Other than ease of use for the two older. It also helps when you need to reach them ASAP (throwing up or another issue)
It's the best time of year for Trader Joe's. Between now and Christmas, you'll find all kinds of special goodies.
Learning curve is so true!when we got our jeep Cherokee I called the sales guy and told him I wanted to return it! It was a huge learning curve for this grandma! I send my sympathy to you! Loved the video!
I LOVE wallpaper! It adds so much personality! A plain painted wall looks too boring for my taste. My grandmother taught me how to hang wallpaper when I was a newlywed, nearly 50 years ago. I love the look of your newly papered wall--however, it appears you applied contact paper, not actual wallpaper. Contact paper has a peel-off backing. Wallpaper, even the pre-pasted kind, has to be moistened in water to activate the paste. If you love the print and the "vibe" of wallpaper, don't give up! Just start small. You'll get the hang of it. I think it's WORTH IT! :-)
POINTER: If you have little bubbles in the paper that you can't flatten out, just puncture it with a needle to release the air. Then smooth it out. Sometimes, if the area is larger, you need to make a slice with a razor blade to allow the air to escape.
Keep up the good work, girl!
TY for the tips. I've not ever worked with wallpaper, but have many walls now that need upgrading and am considering a bit for a cpl. of walls as "accent". Now that I've read this, the air bubbles I've wondered about won't be a problem, & I won't have to watch a million 'hack" vids. to learn of these tricks. TC~
Sooo let me make a suggestion. Take one of the middle seats out it if its like mine fold it down into the floor. You can get to the very back seat and you have play area if you have to wait somewhere.
Genius!
I like the dress with the rust color flowers in it. The color reminds me of fall.
You look absolutely beautiful in whatever you wear.
Love the way paper looks. Those cubes are fabulous for different seasons of clothing.
Have a blessed weekend all.
Thanks for sharing this video with me Megan! As I said last Sunday, you look absolutely radiant!! Come back for a visit once your new Little Man arrives! You know we all want to hold & welcome him to the family 🥰❤️🙏🏻❌⭕️👶🏻🧸🍼
Congradulations on your new mini van ! so beautiful!
The outfits you pick are beautiful!!!
Hi Megan🤗 love your videos always looking forward to Thursday to seeing a new one! Really liking your new ride! We've had a minivan for years you'll learn to love it it's so handy for younger children! I just wanted to give you a tip I noticed that you didn't have any floor mats yet I would highly recommend getting the WeatherTech ones they are custom fit and they are so nice especially if there's spells and stuff in the van it's so easy to clean up! And saves the rug from getting any smells and stains.
I did the bedroom in our motorhome, I actually didn't mind doing it. It did take a lot of time to get it done the way I wanted. But was so worth it, in my opinion.
Thanks for sharing TJ products! Love this type of video❣️
Love the wall paper! You have such a talent for interior design. What a beautiful home!
My husband and I last hung wallpaper together in the 80's. The fact that our marriage survived that day is still amazing to me. Never again! lol
The wallpaper looks fantastic!
I like how that turned out. Good job!
You will LOVE your Pacifica!!! I got one last year and it has been life changing!!!!!!
I love that you named your vehicle! I always do too 😀
LOVE THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE FALL DECORETION❤
Wishing you all the best! So busy! Great job on the bathroom. Love the mix of the large and small floral prints. So nice that you think of your mom and others while you shop!
You have such great videos! So inspiring!
Peel and stick wall paper is a great invention. I wall papered many walls with the old fashioned stuff.
Megan loved this video ... you made me laugh putting up wallpaper ... Good for you !!!
This was fun to watch. I put it on while I ate my lunch and wrote a couple of notes. Thank you so much for sharing your day.
This is tooooo funny. Just went thru this exact wardrobe compilation for my older daughter’s family photo!
You look amazing for 34 weeks!! Always look forward to your Thursday vlogs!! Thanks Megan!
I love watching your videos and how you make your clothes! You are so talented!
Always enjoy watching your videos.
Ive really been enjoying your last few blogs keep up the great work.
Wow, nice video! So much going on, you live a very active life! I think your bathroom turned out simply great! Good for you, going ahead with it even though hubby thought you couldn't do it.
I grew up in Virginia with alot of Amish and Mennonites and the bulk/discount stores were so much fun to shop at! We lived in a small town an hour away from groccery stores so we would often go to town once or twice a month and then go to small Mennonite shops that were closer and they always sold those maple leaf cookies so they are a must have fall item for me! Before I went kosher the lucky charms marshmallows from sharp shopper was the coolest thing ever and my mom would buy a big bag for us kids every now and then 🤗 Such good memories!
Just love your videos and your positiv attitude! Best wishes from Germany!
I love Josh’s expressions😁
Yep, I use the same system for my kids clothing. Works great, cuts time and momma happy! 😊
Love the wall paper
Awesome video many many blessings to you and your family👍🙏
Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us, you are truly blessed! Praise be to God 🙏🏻
Yes, the 2 prints are great together...
I too love the wallpaper.
Another inspiring great video...I always want to get up and get busy after all your video's 😊 Thank you so much Megan....❤🤗🙏🎃🍁🐿🍂🌾🖐
I live in PA as well! I know exactly what you mean about the fickle fall weather (and spring!).
My brother worked at Winn-Dixie (southern chain of grocery stores), and the power went out one day for several hours. They had to throw away basically everything in the cooler sections of the store, so he brought home tons of food before it went into the dumpster. It was pretty cool!
Another great video! Thanks for sharing.
Your video are always such a blessing, Megan. God bless you and your family 🥰 p.s. I just found out I’m pregnant!!! You and your videos have prepared me 😅❤️
yay! no way! So exciting!
So talented - 34 weeks pregnant & wallpapering - it turned out so nice too! Love from Scotland x
We live in a Mennonite area,, we love the bulk products our community has.. Our Trader Joe is a little over an hour, we go a couple times a year too.. Also closest IKEA is 2.5 hours, but same, not really my style, but fun to go when I am around one.
When you travel you'll really love the space in the van!! Cute car name! I call mine Ruby Su because it's a Ruby Subaru lol.
We call our Subaru “Pearl” because she’s pearl green 😊
Loved this video❤️😍especially the Trader Joe haul! Ha! The wallpapering too😜
Love bulk food stores here in NE Missouri. We have several in our area but go to one in town always for deli. I’ve been getting fresh garden tomatoes since ours ran out.
I used the same kind of wallpaper for my kitchen from Amazon. I absolutely loved it. When I moved it was easy to take down cause I was renting. One of your biggest problems was starting in the center of the wall. I've done a lot of wallpapering and have always started in the corner and work to my right. If you do it again try doing it like that. So excited for the baby. Lisa and you both plus Hannah from Hannah's happy home are all pregnant and expecting near the same time.
We just started a Bible study in this building where I live. We're going through the parables.
Those maple leaf cookies are the best things ever!
so fun to watch the bulk food finds!! Love comparing other stores-our son and his wife own a bulk food store out here in Kansas, that they purchased from an amish couple who was actually my cousin! Wish we had a Trader Joe's out here-looks like a fun place!!
Enjoyed your video . Clothes look great xx
Loved your video! Enjoy your new car. My 4 are adults and I always stocked my car like you do. I didn’t have the fancy car caddies, just had a large backpack filled with everything we might need that went everywhere with us. Love TJ’s. Didn’t know the peanut butter cups came in a tub! You are amazing. I love your energy. I have a friend going through a tough time and you inspired me to go to the church bookstore and look for an inspirational book for her. I only wish UA-cam was a thing when my kids were little.
You are so amazing 👍love the dresses you chose and all you're great ideas and experiences- really helps my anxiety to watch and listen- so calming and grounding🙏 -especially love the PA SCENARY💜I live around Tulsa and we have a TJ'S - LOVE to buy my coffee beans there and a few other items I can't find elsewhere- otherwise I don't buy all the processed stuff🤷
Always Love your videos. I would love to have a friend like you!!
Love getting to see the store. Trader Joe's and Ikea are pretty much the best stores ever!! And I really like the book choices in the van. I had that Bible Story Book as a child and it was my sons favorite. Made me smile to see it.
Love your videos, you are so fun. I love your wallpaper!!
Just a tip: Once Upon a Child is a National children’s consignment store and their prices are AMAZING! You can save so much money on kid’s clothes and then consign anything you no longer need. Especially since kids are always outgrowing their clothing, it’s an excellent, affordable option! We love our two local stores.
This was so fun. Loved the dresses. We have Trader Joe's in Alabama. Love it!
Absolutely love Trader Joe's! It's is our regular shopping store of choice. Been shopping there for a decade now. We had one 12 mins away and would go weekly. We've since moved now 80 mins away and make a trip monthly. We mainly shop there and Costco. And since we've moved we go weekly to Walmart for the bare essentials that we can't otherwise stock up on. We also liked Aldi but now that is 40 mins from us so we go monthly there as well.
Love the wallpaper! 😍😍😍
I've always papered walls it's hard carrying large pasted sheets to the wall, I didn't know you could get already pasted wallpaper.
Really enjoyed the video.
My son works at TJ's. He used to live with us and I got to try everything. Sooo good. Now he moved across the country and I don't go to TJ's often enough.
I have never been to Trader Joes but I’ve been wanting to go for a long time now. I know exactly what recipe your talking about trying. The one with the feta, penne pasta, Gracie tomatoes and basil? My kids made it and it was so good! Always love your videos!!!
Just love watching your videos. ❤️
I can totally relate to your Evonnie dress mishap!! The same thing happened to me, except I was sewing a dress for both my girls at the same time! They both had to be chucked bc the armscye were not right. Thank goodness it was $2 a yard fabric!
Your kids are adorable!! Love the Daily Grace Co bible studies!!
I love the Mennonite store 🙌🏻😋
Megan you inspire me so much to be a better mother and homemaker. I just don’t know where you get all this energy!!!
