Your cake looks great! I just wanted to give you a tip. If you have a chocolate cake and dust your cake pan with cocoa powder instead of flour, you won't get white residue on your cake. Someone gave me that tip once and I've done it ever since.
It's just so wonderful how you interact with your kids. You and Josh, going camping, stimulating their minds. Thank you guys for being responsible, loving parents. Seems like a dumb thing to say but it should be highlighted more in today's world. Also I'm going on vacation this week and the prep is brutal. Lol. So I'm right there with you preparing everything.
Watching Evonnie dip her burger in the salad dressing reminded me of my oldest son. He dips “ALL” of his sandwiches in ketchup! I thought he would grow out of it but he is 51 years old and still has this habit. I asked him one time if he did that when he went out to lunch with a business associate and he said “you know, I guess I do”. He went on to say that he had done it for over 40 years and he just did it without thinking. I found it humerus and thought to myself, well I guess we all have our “habits”.
I have a chocolate cake recipe similar to the one you showed. When my girls were in high school they would make one and eat it after school before I got home from work. I caught on to this little trick when it seemed Hershey cocoa was on the shopping list every week! They were good cleaner uppers….. but they finished it and never saved me a piece….. probably how they got away with it so long! Loved watching your camping trip and making so many things over the fire. 😀
That is hilarious! My brother used to get a piece of bread and put butter on it, pop it in the microwave, and then sprinkle sugar on it and he would always make two pieces (one for me). I think this was our version of this.
I’ve been binge watching and finally caught up. Watched a man who traveled to various places and spent the day with Mennonites. One of your vlogs was listed. Thought I’d take a look and been enjoying your vlogs ever since. Whether your vlogs are planned or not - they are all interesting and fun to watch. Looked like a fun camping trip! Loved the food - delicious!
Looks like a great time.We used to camp all the time when our kids were little.I think all kids should have that experience.We don't watch football.We weren't ever big fans but when they started all the kneeling and stuff like that we don't pay any attention to it anymore.
Hi Megan . Thank you for letting us be a part of evonnies birthday party. The bike you got her has just the perfect combo of colors that you all like. Happy 4Th Birthday Evonnie. so proud of you.
Loved this vlog!!! Your enthusiasm in all is contagious.A suggestion when kids are napping is o join them and take a power nap.Your body will love you and you will recharge. Cant wait to try your chocolate cake recipe. Think ill add some instant coffee granules to deepen chocolate flavor!! The children are adorable and they have the most beautiful eyes!
You guys are too too cute!! I absolutely love that your brought two coolers of water and used your bottles instead of plastic!! WTG!! Every little bit helps!! :)
You are the BEST Mom! You know your proprieties and your kids are going to have MANY precious memories. This blog reminded me of our family camping. I just loved it and especially bringing a little home with us on the trip! I noticed the cloth tablecloth on the picnic table! I did the same thing! Love your videos that include the kids. ❤️❤️❤️
I just met you in a local café and you are as sweet and wonderful as you are on here! I’ve been following you for over 2 years now and I love your videos ❤️❤️
I never heard them called mountain pie holders before, we refer to them as hobo pie holders. My husband does pizza, grilled cheese, regular pies with the bread, apple pie filling and a marshmellow...so good..
My husband and I have thought of getting a small camper for "easy" vacas with our 3 babies. This was very inspiring! When I saw those flowers 💐 I thought OF COURSE you would! I love it!
We always made fruit and cream pies with the mountain pie irons. We just used regular bread buttered and laid in them. Sugar when they are browned. We also always had a night of pizzas. We just always used a loaf of bread for the crusts. All our ingredients are cooked just need to get hot and the bread browned. Banana boats are yummy too and the kids love them. Then the hobo packets. As the kids got older they could make them. Then of course adults were in charge of the cooking. My boys are adults now and they still talk about our family camping trips.
Awe happy birthday sweet girl! Megan, you are doing a beautiful job taking care of yourself and your little bun in the oven! Not sure why people need to act like a Dr and tell you what you can/can't do. You're grown woman and pretty sure you know what you are doing (this is your 3rd baby). Enjoy your cup o Joe and yes moderation totally is the key, to everything really 😉
Binge watching to catch up after not having internet for a month... I just love the casual vlogs so if those are easiest for you to film then I say go for it!
I'm from Russia. Also love all on the channel. It helps me inprove my English and also in this video I like the books,found the first book's writer on Utube
I wondered about that gift when you asked Fletcher if he wanted to ride Evonnie's bike. Thanks for taking us along on your camping weekend. It's fun to see what others do when camping.
My children are now 27 and 24 and I have such fond memories of going on family camping trips with our pop up camper. Enjoy every minute and soak up the memories. You do such a good job with your children! Motherhood is a blessing ♥️
Hi Megan, love your videos knowing your focus is on younger mothers and family life. I am 67 years old and I enjoy your family life and the children. I also find you can learn something new no matter what age you are. Saying that you try to live an intentional life and being ambitious inspires me as well. I think I will be picking up many of those books you are reading. Thank you for such encouraging videos.
There is great contact papers that are water proof perfect for camper walls and restrooms. We used some right over our linoleum floor that was hideous lol and the kind we got looks like wood and it came out and is last beautifully
I enjoy and appreciate the variety of vlogs that you share. Some vloggers put out the same kind of content, and while I enjoy the people, it sometimes gets boring… not yours because it’s often something different. Thank you!!
Megan, camping is fun for the family but, it's alot more work for Mom's. Until I started doing this myself, I had no idea how much work my Mom did for us all to have a good time!
Loved your camping adventure! Your sisters camper is great! We bought a camper & 2 weeks later went into lockdown, here in Australia. 😭. So haven’t used it yet! Most annoying! My Grandkids love the great out doors... Family camping is the best, we do it all the time.Please don’t justify everything you do! Your a Mumma an need a few perks to get through the day! 😂☕️🍩 Enjoy that coffee! Your a great Mum! 🙏💐🙏🥰🇦🇺🦘
Hi Megan! This is Sarah. I am commenting for the first time on your channel. I have been watching it for a long time now. It is nice that you and Lynette Yoder are friends and meet up once in a while. I always enjoy both of your channels and always look forward to the next ones. I think you ladies are amazing. Keep up the good work. Congratulations on your new baby boy! There are a few other ladies I watch also who are pregnant, too. Both of them are having baby girls. Their names are Raquel Whitmer and Hannah on 'Hannah's Happy Home'. I enjoy watching their channels as well.😊 I wish all the best to all of you and your families. 😊
I made another mistake. I think I got Hannah mixed up with another lady that goes to my church that is going to have a baby girl. I don't think Hannah is finding out the gender of her baby until it is born, or isn't telling till it is born. Either way, we don't know the gender of her baby.
So love all your videos! I’m so happy that you invite us along. Both the more structured and vlog style are wonderful. Both give us the feeling that we’re just getting a chance to hang out with a good friend ❤️
My Family sings a different Birthday Song. I grew up with, "A Happy Birthday To You, A Happy Birthday To You! May You Find Jesus Near Every Day Of The Year! A Happy Birthday To You, A Happy Birthday To You, And May This Be The Best One Yet!!!
I COMPLETELY AGREE BACON MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER!!! I love this video and throwing in different bits. Absolutely love Evonnie's reaction to her cake and her new bike with the flowers and butterflies
I so enjoyed this video. I would like more like these. I think it packs more into a video this was. Your children are so cute together. Bonnie is so attentive to Fletcher. Happy Birthday Vonnie 💘
New name suggestion Bently Morgan Fox.. Looks like a fun filled weekend filled with family, friends and food! Everything tastes better cooked outside. Your absolutely glowing, your such a beautiful person.
You look adorable and cozy...yes, I completely understand about my veil going on just right....it can really be a struggle @ times...Evonnie and Fletcher look so big ....
I also understand the whole veil fitting just right. It can be a struggle from time to time. I think your hair and veil looks so neat every time I watch your vlogs.
Your children will look back fondly on their camping adventures. You made it so fun and wholesome for them ... well done! As soon as you mentioned "crazy cake" I wondered if it was the same as the "wacky cake" we make here. Yes! It's the exact same recipe. We enjoy it made in a 9x13 pan and we just sprinkle chocolate chips over the batter before baking. It's quick and doesn't require making frosting. A neat side note on that recipe: my daughter threw a baby shower for a friend who loves chocolate but couldn't eat milk or eggs. Crazy/wacky cake to the rescue!!
Really enjoyed this style vlog Megan! Happy Belated Birthday Vonnie, hard to believe she’s already 4!! It was beautiful where you all went camping! Sending love & prayers 🥰❤️🙏🏻❌⭕️
i LOVE your mommy and wife style, as is your relationship with them. your video very inspiring to me and gave me great ideas thank you ❤ my kiddos are 7 weeks and 3 years. i cant wait to take them camping in the future 😁
Your family is very lucky Megan you're full of energy & enthusiasm for all the things! The games, the flowers, the food all extra even IN THE Woods LOL. This was a fun vlog. 👍💝
I just had to say how much I loved this video! It was such a fun & unique experience. I am so encouraged by your desire to serve and treasure your blessing of being a mother!
What a fab trip... you must have been so tired... its all of the clearing up after... I loved Evonnie's bike and the spoke flowers...xx God Bless from the UK xx
I really loved this vlog. The way you mother your children is so precious. Cant wait to see the next gift from God. Take care the time is quickly passing before your new son will be here. Love, love your vlog....
Megan, I love EVERYTHING you post! If you make it and post it we WILL watch so just keep making what you make because we love it!!! Thank you so much for making these videos.
Pieced together vids are the best. Keeps my attention. I was born in Columbia have seen Pa. Since I was 10 love seeing when you travel around or even go to the shops
Loved this vlog. Amazing energy you have for your family and for making special moments for them. I can’t imagine the organisation needed to get all the stuff for food, activities , birthday party etc on top of the normal camping gear. The first scene in the camper with the wind blowing made me feel so cosy and loved the stone painting and apple tasting. Totally going to borrow those ideas! Was exhausted for you as you headed home to all that unpacking. Supermomma! Hope it didn’t take too long…. Best wishes from the UK.
I loved the vlog a lot, but the one moment that sticks with me, is when you poured the blue paint on the plate for the kids to colour the stones and Fletchers face lit up😍
Awesome video, Megan! Your videos make me want to get going to clean, decorate, cook, and just do all the things that make me feel good. One tip… I thought you may like to look into agave nectar as a different kind of sweetener for your iced coffees if you want to change them up some time. It doesn’t have a particular flavor per say but just a lighter sweet syrup. I use it in my iced coffee with some half and half and that’s all I need. Thanks again for great quality videos! 🙂
Fun video...my family was a camping family but we only did tents and even though I have fond memories of swimming in the creek and lake, cooking on and sitting around the campfire, nature walks etc...I'm not much of a camper now unless it's with a camper and lots of the luxuries from home!! Thanks for sharing all your adventures...praying for you in these last few weeks of pregnancy!!
I always enjoy your content! Casual, planned, whatever ☺️ i work full time from home for now, and I enjoy living vicariously through your adventures 💗 my days all look very similar in this season of life.
