Join me today for a vlog style video where I will take you along with me through my week and show you how I find little pockets of relaxation and vacation even if I’m not on an exotic vacation. We are having a little bit more of a lowkey summer this year, and honestly, I’m ok with it. If you have small kids like me, I am going to share with you some of my most tangible practical ways to add adventure to your summer routine without adding more work for Mom! Trust me, I get it! So all on board for a more restful and minimal summer!

What is your summer looking like? Any fun travel plans?
We literally never travel, we just don't have the funds. However, staycation is always fun! We have a staycation every year and we find inexpensive local things to do and new recipes to try!
You have a truly Blessed life!
Megan as I have stated to you many times, you are wise beyond your years. This video was so informative with all of your hacks, suggestions and ideas. I am a grandmother now to 7 so I even find many of these suggestions so helpful when we have our grandchildren for a few days or a week. Our summers are very different than what they used to be since we are now empty nesters. We enjoy sitting on our front porch in the evenings and watching the world go by. I am retired but my husband still works at our retail store 6 days a week so coming home and relaxing is his idea of a vacation! You have a beautiful family and are an amazing wife and mother. I have you in my prayers for a healthy pregnancy and baby and I keep Fletcher in my prayers as well. Thank you for sharing your day to day life as it is so inspiring. LOVE seeing the children!! God bless!
I loved everything about this video that I have a special shout out about the music that you used which was just wonderful!!
What kind of matcha do you use, please could you let me know 💖
Try looking up VCY America Listen Now on Saturday starting at 8 in the morning to hear more children's programs like Ranger Bill. Also, weekdays starting at 3:45 are more children's stores. At 4:30, a program called Unshakled plays. It is a dramatization from Pacific Garden Mission about how people's lives have changed after coming to Christ.
This is such a random car item but it was the most used when my kids were little. My daughter bought a kite at a garage sale when she was about 5. We kept it in the trunk and she flew it all over town….so many random moments we pulled over on a pretty day and stopped to fly a kite or used it to keep her busy while her big brother was doing other things…the best $2 I ever spent. 🙂
Now you need a veggie sandwich! Yum
Last moment SO adorable! 🙂
Audio books are great for park , you can keep your eyes on the kids, but enjoy your book.
Precious, precious kiddos! I loved Baylor’s prayer at the end. The whole video was just so beautiful — I needed this so much today. Thank you! ❤
Something that we put in our van that was a serious game changer while having a toddler especially while potty training. A potty training chair! We just have one of those small Summer brand potty chairs and it sits in the back of the van. No more taking your toddler who touches EVERYTHING into a dirty stinky restroom and trying to deal with those giant toilets with a hole in the front of the seat. We move it to the back seats on the floor of our van and close the van doors for privacy. Toddlers need a restroom at the most random times too. 😆 blame it on the tiny bladder I guess. Haha. But its nice how stress free it made our life when we thought of that hack.
When my two were young we would pick a country and read about it, learn a few words or phrases of the language and cook food from that culture. It opened their minds to differences in people, gave us some great dinner conversations and really made them interested in travel. So many good memories, all while right at home, and without spending much at all.
Hey girl- Ooh such a great video! Cool happenings!🤗 Thank you Megan for all the tips and inspiration😘 Praying for y'all. Have a blessed weekend🥰
…megan you are a MASTERPIECE, created by Almighty God…Im always so amazed at your work, here…
Bless the Lord O! My soul and all that is within me….we are still; as adults fearfully and wonderfully made..thank you.
Yeah! Ranger Bill! Wish WDAC would still play it!
How fun your kids love to go visit the farm. So many fun things to do.
Me 23:42 gan abiti in un paese bellissimo con luoghi meravigliosi sei molto attiva hai una bella famiglia I tuoi figli ti assomigliano mi è piaciuta anche la musica Dio ti benedica
Scusa Megan non mi sono accorta di quel numero
Hey Megan, see you are using Ballerina Farms flour, have you ever tried their protein powder?
Happy Fathers Day!,To Josh! May Gods many blessings ! Be with you, and yours.
❤
We usually don t own as many expensive things as I see people own in the USA, bt we do travel a lot overseas, maybe its a cultural thing and way of seeing life. We pay for experiencies in life rather than owning things lets say
Could you link your matcha? I think I remember you saying you got it on Amazon? ❤🎉
Oh my word, Baylor's prayers were just precious 🥹 thank you for another video filled with grace and wisdom, Megan. I'm praying for Fletcher and for peace and healing to cover your family.
Another beautiful video! Happy Summer 🌞
Summers can be a vibe or a little too quiet lol. Tbh, Ive been anxious about my kid running off during park outings. Findmykids is like my chill pill, knowing I can check his location while I read❤️
do you have a link to your pie recipe? It looks amazing!
Megan, for the strawberry part of the matcha, slice some strawberries and put them in the microwave for 1 – 1.5 minutes until they turn a little syrupy. Put them into a fine strainer and press out the juice and add it to your matcha. Pure goodness…😊
Thanks for sharing your family with us! We are so excited to come to Lancaster again this summer, were there 2 years ago without our kids and decided we had to go back with our kids 😊 love seeing the places you go so we have ideas what to go see there.
You look like your trying to take flight you need to stop talking with your hands so much. The things your saying arent as important as you think i think youll be fine if your arms relax
We have so many wonderful local things that are so fun for kids-some free, some with a charge, but all less expensive than needing to pay for accommodations and food on the road-and can be more relaxing for mom. Packing a lunch and a day bag is so much easier than packing for a “real” vacation. I know you’d love to be able to travel, but “things” have gotten in the way. I hope you find some joy finding things to do around home.
I love this channel
In regards to Prepared Meal Kits, Hello Fresh is coming out as a Liberal Company so Buyer Beware.
I love the simple summer days. I find these videos encouraging since we are in a stage of life where its hard to go on vacations. Lots of good ideas on how to make the summer fun with out spending to much money
We aren’t traveling this summer as we bought a home in 12 acres recently. What I said to my husband was why would I have en expensive vacation when everyday here is a dream come true. It’s not in the budget this year but I don’t even care!
That's definitely not parmesan 😂 18:58
I keep scissors & tape in my car use them ALL the time!😂
What a nice relaxing and fun video. Nothing planned this summer just getting a yard in and working around the home trying to maintain up update and maintain. Usually we travel south to northern Cal but not this year we are hoping to have lots of family come to town. My three youngest grands are graduating from college……..from highschool and two from college. So thats exciting and the celebrations.
Blessings to you and the sweet little ones as you all await the surprise in the fall of your new little one. So special and so sweet! Take care of you!!! 🙂
Take care Megan! God bless you and your beautiful family! ❤
Love this video Megan! Shifting mindset is so important when there isn’t a break coming up. Thank for this reminder! Praying for your little man. 💚
Once a teacher, always a teacher. Your ideas about dressing for the occasion and wondering and learning together with your children bring so much to each little special part of a day.
F, 57. I have two grown daughters, and five grandchildren. I also still work full time, 12 hour shifts(4 one week, 3 the next week) I enjoy being busy but the past 6 to 8 months I have been more tired and get cranky when I'm over scheduled. I have purposely slowed down to where at least one off day a week I stay at home, or very limited time away from home. I need a tad longer to recuperate and recharge. That is the season I am in
In a car crash anything puffy or fluffy can compress and kids can fly out from the straps so never wrap your kid in a towel and then buckle them in, instead buckle them in tightly and then drape the towel on top.
How long do your older kids do quiet time for? I only have littles right now and am wondering what’s a reasonable amount of time to shoot for in a quiet time as they get older?
Beautiful family!❤️
