I love that Josh appreciates your work at home -- taking care of his children and home, being there for him when he comes home from work, tending to his needs (Titus 2:4-5).
I loved that too! I often feel overwhelmed & unappreciated trying to maintain a job, home, husband and children so when I'm acknowledged for all my work it feels wonderful. Running a house is much harder than alot of people think. It definitely takes 2.
A few months ago you read a comment from someone who said you were just another youtuber copying all the other mom videos online. I just wanted to say you are just the most creative. Even though you present a lot of the same information(because mom life is all relatable and applicable to moms all over), you have a much more creative way to present the information in fun ways. Keep on going!
Megan Fox Unlocked You are authentic and honest and those traits are valuable and important to many of us. You have a cute sense of humor and your videos are entertaining and informative!
What I loved about this video is how open Josh was! When he said that knowing you were taking care of the kids while he worked was at the top of his list of things you do for him (the family) it melted my heart. What a kind and thoughtful thing to say. I could see the love Josh has for you shining brightly during this segment of the Q&A. Very touching. Made my day!💞
I have to agree, the fact that he acknowledged his wife as a caregiver of the children was very touching.He knew, she had everything under control at home, dinner, ECT.ect. gave him a peace of mind.(Loved both of your answers)💑💑💑💑💑👏👏👏👏👏
I asked my husband out lol it was 2010, he worked at Walmart and we always talked to each other and he would pick on me. I asked him out by giving him my number and running away 😂 now we are married and been together for 10 years ❤️🤗
I agree with you, kids definitely need to see conflict. My parents never had constructive arguments or fights so it's really hard for me to learn to do that on my own now in my own relationships.
I love how open and honest you and Josh are about everything.Josh is absolutely right about needing to get away from everyday life.As long as you keep God first your marriage will continue to grow.I think you would be a great wedding planner.
The end of the video when you talk about giving up on the competition with others is so great! It's so freeing to "like what you like" and just own your life.
New subscriber here I’ve had a brain injury caused by a cough, spending 1 full month in Hospital. I’m atheist, but I find your channel so inspiring, funny, relatable and down to earth. Loved the fact you’ve wanted 100k subs and I’m watching you at 117k CONGRATULATIONS! I’m only 623😢
Fun Q&A, I always love seeing Josh’s personality - seems like a fun guy and also super responsible (in a good way!) Megan, I swear you get so giddy and happy around him which is also a good thing! You two “click”❣️ Also, almost commented before even watching because that intro was soothing with the music, the slow motion and just really cool beginning with the brownie baking!
I asked my husband out! (I am not a mennonite) We had a small intimate 15 person wedding and it was so prefect and we didn't have to borrow money from anyone or go into debt, it was inexpensive and perfect! I loved your wedding photos!
I like that you reference traditional gender roles here and there. Most people live on their own for a period before getting married. If you live on your own, you cook, clean, pay bills, go grocery shopping, etc. regardless of gender. I'm a SAHM and my only *job* is to take care of our child while my husband is at work. The rest is bonus or 50/50 when he's at home. That's what works for us.
Appreciate this vlog so much. Love the maturity and bond you both have for each other and your marriage. Love that when Josh speaks you can tell he gives it thought and his true heart, words of wisdom. Keep loving, supporting and respecting each other. Your marriage will be blessed and it is the greatest gift you can give your children.
Your videos have a calming effect on me. If my day is stressful and really busy, I can watch your vlog and feel so much better. You and Josh are such an adorable couple. I think it's so great how he will participate in your channel. It's always nice to get a man's perspective on day-to-day life.
Megan, sounds like you really vibe with acts of service. You absolutely glowed while sharing how much you loved that he emptied the dishwasher for you without being asked. We often show love using our preferred love language. All that you do in providing a nurturing home shows your love for him and your children.
I asked my husband out because I knew he was a catch and because we were on a huge campus, I didn't know if I would see him again. We're still together 35 years later. It can work! We still look the same as we did in our wedding pictures too. :P
The one thing I wish was in my culture which is in yours is not going so over the top on weddings. I hate seeing people spend more money than they have just trying to impress people. You guys have it so right there.
I love how one can see you are both genuinely friends. Sometimes people lose sight of the importance of remaining as friends in a marriage. Love your wedding pics! My lil toddler just started talking in fuller sentences. She saw Josh and was like " Ooooo he is nice!" She was talking like she knew him haha..I thought it was funny. Craving brownies now. ❤
You two are adorable. I love the real ness I feel from you both. The world needs to see more couples like you, so I’m so glad you are willing to share with us. Your wedding album was gorgeous. You are so beautiful. I pray your channel continues to do well. It seems like everyone is enjoying your content. You’ve shared some amazing things. Keep up the great work and you will continue to see a good return for it. ❤️ The brownies. I knew Betty Crocker would win over Duncan Hines. I bought a DH cake mix about a year ago and couldn’t believe how bad the batter tasted. I didn’t even bake it. Nasty. I was surprised that Ghirardelli was your least favorite, shows price doesn’t always mean anything.
This is a comment about the Brownies. I've always thought that homemade is the best, and I still think that way because I LOVE to bake! I have loved baking since I was 7 years old. Since I'm now 67 years old, that's a long time. I'm STILL trying to figure out HOW I got this old! Ha ha! But I think that either box baking or homemade baking is a very good thing. It's shows people that you love them. You took time out of your busy life to do something special for them. Homemade baking only takes a little bit more time and it's so worth it. But this is just my own opinion. However you bake is a good thing. When baking from scratch, PLEASE do not dip your measuring cup into the flour to measure it. When you measure this way, you can unknowingly add more flour to the recipe, which makes a not so good result. Fluff the flour a bit with a spoon and then spoon the flour into the measuring cup. Then level it off with the straight edge of a knife of spatula. Or better yet, use a kitchen scale. And one more thing about measuring is to invest in the correct measuring cup for liquids. The one you used is just for dry ingredients. A liquid measure usually comes in a 2-cup glass or plastic with a handle and a spout. They really do make a difference! I hope none of your followers get upset with me. I'm just sharing some really good information. Your wedding was just beautiful! More young people should have simple weddings. They make more sense to me.
The brownie taste test was a cute idea! I knew by your reaction to the Ghirardelli one when you ate it that it was the Ghirardelli. I once is Ghirardelli chocolate to make homemade cream cheese brownies and I did not like them at all. It just had a weird flavor, and I really like dark chocolate so I was shocked.
Thank you Josh for freaking appreciate your wife taking care of your kids and cooking you food!!! I can’t tell you the amount of men I know who want the perks of a stay at home mom and also the extra income of a working wife. I appreciate that you value that the most in your wife that she takes care of your kids and cooks for you. That’s how it should be from the husbands who have wives who stay at home and it’s just isn’t as common anymore.
Minute 21 ish would be another great video. How chores evolved over time and house management. I think so many young marriages struggle. And to be balanced with the Love Languages as fuel is great. Great video.
Your Wedding album is the most beautiful Album I have ever every seen!!!! The photographers style is perfection and the book and layout on the pages are truly gorgeous!!!!
Megan, you're so talkative! 😄 Hopefully Josh doesn't mind you interrupting him 😁 Finally, what matters is that the two of you get along the way you are 😊
Megan you will continue having good success because of your Faith in Jesus. You are not ashamed of living a good peaceful life that aligns with the WORD of God. I love your organizational skills. I am glad that you enjoy the fruit of your womb. Motherhood can be scary, and exhausting, but so rewarding.
I relate to Josh a lot in terms of not "dreaming too big". I think it's important we all find what makes us content and sometimes that isn't achieved by looking for continuous growth when it comes to a career. I think if he's happy with his company where it is and where you guys are financially as a result of that then that's great! I have pretty moderate career and financial goals for myself, just looking to live comfortably but not lavishly by any means with a job that doesn't unreasonably stress me out just for the sake of making more money.
Hello I love your channel. I have Mennonite friends in Lancaster County and have moved to Tennessee and miss them so much. You remind me of my friend Lizzie. Thanks for answering questions for others who don't understand Mennonite are just people!
Owning a business can be a huge blessing and a curse. My husband and I owned a cleaning company for 11 years. It grew too big for us and funding employees who would work ended up being much harder than we anticipated. My husband was pastoring and preaching in jails, prisons and homeless missions also. He was a Chaplin for our county as well. So, we have up our business so he could focus more on ministry. Good luck with the growth that I'm sure will come with time. I'll be praying for you.
The aldi brand bakers corner chewy fudge brownies are my favorite boxed brownies. Inexpensive and super tasty! I've made them with butter and it only made them better. Like you said, they have zero nutritional value so I don't spend a ton of money and they are still just as good. Homemade is always better of course ❤️
Hi you two, so enjoyed your video. I was sitting here on my bed knitting and listening to your happy voices talking about so many different aspects of your life and it made me smile. I also smiled at Josh sitting with his fork poised ready to attack the Brownies. Take care both of you and have a lovely weekend. Luv Molly x
A show I watch did a brownie taste test and ghiradeli (or however you spell it) came in last too. She said she really really wanted it to be the best, but was honestly the worse - haha 😂
My husband and I are both on our second marriages. We are in our 50s and love to do everything together. We have been together 16 years. He has children and in their 20s. I consider them my children too. I like listening to you both and you have a strong relationship. I liked your comment about not trying to do what everyone else will be doing in their lives. that is how we feel, we do our own thing, nice to people and hope they will be nice to us too. We don’t follow trends etc. We are coming back to Lancaster County soon and we will be checking out some of the places you suggested in your videos. Keep up the great videos.
You two are awesome. Love your Q & A's and seeing the chemistry you still have. Your wedding photo's are beautiful as well. It's nearly six years since my husband passed away and videos like this remind me how wonderful it was to have someone who knew you and was always on your side. Hope you enjoyed your valentines day together 😊
What a good question someone asked you about your mental health . I too believe that faith in a God of love is hugely reassuring through life’s tougher days , plus help given by family and friends. Well done Megan , I thought you answered it thoughtfully 😘
I love your philosophy and genuineness. It can take a lot of courage to be individual and not a follower. I think communication and laughter are key to a sound marriage (39 years in & counting) and you & Josh are very good at that. I always think that for everything that annoys me about my hubby, there is something about me that does the same to him, so I have learnt to let most things go. I think you are a lovely couple.
Totally agree with the house management!! My husband jokes the it only took having 5 kids (6 and under) for me to realize how important house management and scheduling is! Sad part, is he is pretty right. 😔😂😂
Hi Megan n Josh! I truly enjoyed this Q&A. What a wonderful couple you both are. Thank you for sharing your Wedding album with us too. Sending you both love and many blessings in Christ Jesus.
I tell my daughters that I believe they shouldn't typically chase men, because I believe they want to marry strong men (not to be confused with brutes or jerks) and strong men want to be lions, do the chasing, believe they have someone that not just anybody could have. I love your thoughts re: arguing/fights...I learned from someone wise to ask myself 'Do you want to be right/win, or do you want to be happy'. Of course that doesn't apply to everything. I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL and I think you chose an excellent man.
Loved the brownie tasting. I tell all my friends about your channel. I love this channel because you both are a young couple raising little ones. Both of you have a good head on your shoulders and it shows. As long as God is head of your house you will be successful in your marriage. Keep the videos coming. I like seeing both of you together.
“Well tell me so!!!” (In regards time staying home and taking care of kids etc) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m a SAHM as well, to a self employed husband, and ya my husband says it’s HUGE. But it would be great to hear it more often lol
I like that you said it’s good for kids to see their parents handling conflict in a good way. That’s kind of what my husband and I do too. We bicker in front t of our kids sometimes (nothing to serious lol) but we always apologize in front of them too.
Great video Megan. The 2 of you together seem to be getting a lot more comfortable together. I make brownies constantly & none of the box mixes differ much from each other but none compare to from scratch. Keep up the good work. ❤️❤️
Being comfortable is important; but obtaining what others view as successful rarely works. We have to determine what is important to us and live around that. We ALSO NEED TO STOP WORRYING SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK! Live your life the best way for you and your family and don’t take other people’s opinions to heart. Suggestions can be helpful. Just keep the good tips, trash the ones that don’t work for you and stay grounded. Devotions and prayer time is also very important.
I loved this Q&A it’s always fun getting to know you better. I just recently started making brownies from scratch. It’s so simple and I know every ingredient... plus I think they’re the best. Thanks for sharing your brownie experiment with us.
Great video and new ideas for me to try with meal planning. I’ve meal planned in the past and it truly does make things easier but I’ve gotten out of the habit. Tks for inspiring me to get at it again. Blessings.
Great thoughts on marriage. Thank you for the brownie analysis. My husband would have said from the beginning that Betty Crocker is much better than Duncan Hines. He can taste the difference immediately! I'll remember Great Value but have you ever tried Aldi brand? I couldn't tell you. I should do more baking.
Your wedding pictures r so beautiful. Thank u for sharing them w/us. I had no idea that u guys didn’t wear jewelry. U r so interesting. I love your videos and all of your content. I really enjoy your Q & A’s.
Do you find that headcovering and modesty as a lifestyle is an accountability? I find embracing tassels of Numbers 15:38-40 and Deuteronomy 22:12 was life changing for me in taking thoughts captive better. I find anything that sets us apart from the world creates an accountability. I see headcovering as a crown for a daughter of the King of the Universe, a physical symbol of a spiritual protection. Instant respect for your commitment to headcovering and modesty. I’m thankful for people like you that live your faith.
