Summary

Megan Fox is a Mennonite who lives in a very busy area in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Lancaster is full of Mennonite and Amish people. She has 3 kids (ages 5,4 & 1). She has a Youtube channel where she has a lot of homemaking content, shares what life is like in Lancaster County and breaks down some of the misconceptions of the Mennonite lifestyle.

She started her YouTube channel to give people a window into her life. It has grown beyond what she could have imagined. Her hope is that with Megan Fox Unlocked, she can provide some camaraderie and companionship, and create a community of women who value faith, family, and a beautiful but simple life.

Today we are talking about time and home management. This is something that I want to continuing growing in every single year. I am always looking for more inspiration in that area of life in motherhood. Some of the topics we will discuss are: top 3 home management systems, finding time to host and bake and remaining motived when you’re overwhelmed.

0:14.9	in common.
0:15.9	And just, I think it's really hard to be hosting, doing cooking and things like that and
0:20.0	then also trying to facilitate a conversation and all that stuff.
0:23.6	But I do think it could be an awesome ministry to open your home.

0:46.1	It's not just a season we were in.
0:48.3	You know, we were trying to get the grass to grow before we had people come out.

0:52.6	I don't know.
0:53.6	But you know, it ebbs and flows and don't put that guilt on yourself.
