Linda - Hello, I found your blog today in Country Living Magazine. You talk about going to Bearly Makin-it Antiques in Marion Kansas! I grew up in Wichita and spent many hours in Marion with my grandparents who had a farm in Marion. I have always loved that little town. I was born in Hillsboro and now live in Arizona. It was cool to see the Newton post office. I’m looking forward to following your blog. I wouldn’t be surprised if something from my grandparents shows up in the antique store some time!!
Chi Anne - This misplaced Kansas girl loves the photos you post that remind her of home. Germany is beautiful, but I love Kansas more! Thank you for posting all the things that make my heart happy– Sonic, Walmart, sunshine 🙂
Laura Phelps - I have those Ikea curtains! (I use them as a table cloth now)
and…we made lasagna last night too.
weird.
🙂
Melissa - Ahh, Newton, I have a college girlfriend in Buhler! I love “visiting with you”. Happy Thursday!
April M - White Chicken Chili = yum and super easy
but no tater tots so we swung by Sonic on the way home from dance class (also = yum!)
THANK YOU
Your pictures and perspective are a blessing
(Thanking God for you too!)
Shellie Hanley - Meg, I feel like we’re friends and I love seeing what you’re up to. Can’t miss a day of Whatever!! 🙂
Heather Mattos - I was on the very same Heather Bailey page today. Pop Garden is the best ever! LOOOOOOVE your family photos 🙂 I can’t believe how big everyone looks. So cute.
Shivaun - This post is so lovely!! Thanks! And, FYI, I found some large multi-colored striped coffee mugs at a garage sale for a buck each and I snatched them up, inspired by you! They are my favorite morning coffee mugs now… a happy start to each day. You are a sweetheart!
Alicia @ La Famille - meg, i just love ya. you are so fun. so regular. but so inspiring. don’t ask me what’s so inspiring about going to walmart, but you just are. i smile when i’m here. thanks.
Jen Brandt - Love your pictures, Meg! Totally have not been following our planned menu this week – had Subway for dinner last night. Tonight will be ham and broccoli casserole though, and chicken stir fry tomorrow night. Have a great day!!!!! Oh! I think I forgot to tell you that I made your Spinach Artichoke Party Dip for a party Saturday night – huge hit! Thank you.
Shauna - This is my favorite kind of Meg-post…beautiful colorful pictures, little tidbits about your day, and even a recipe..thanks!
Sarah - FOUR miles! You are good. LOVE those fabric sites-I can’t even sew and I love them!
karen gerstenberger - I love your Africa art with the “The King…” quote – one of my favorite quotes. Your family is so beautiful. Isn’t it a blessing to gather with extended family and share a meal? God is so good.
Rach - Oh nice! We do bath time with Pandora’s “Rockin Christmas” station. LOVE LOVE LOVE! And you admitting that it is 23 degrees there means that I am officially going to live vicariously through your winter starting today. Lots of snow pictures when it comes please.

Amber - Such a fun post!!! Love the curtains….Ikea???
Maria - another crazy Wednesday night for us…all 4 boys have overlapping activities and hubs cannot drive…so, we will squeeze in a ‘kids eat free’ night at Times Bar & Grill…

Catriona - We had Toad in the Hole which is a lot nicer than it sounds – sausages baked in a big yorkshire pudding – with carrots and broccoli. 5 out of 5 people in our house love it. And there’s not many dinners I can say THAT about! Love your family photos btw.
Vanessa - Love the zebra scissors!!! Your sloppy joes look yummy – have you ever done the recipe from the fix it and forget it cookbook? Jean and Tammy’s sloppy joes. They are so awesome – the look of yours reminded me of them! Totally a family favorite!

Love the curtains.
Good for you for running in the cold. Brrr….I’m a wimp.

Heidi C - I can’t believe you have the curtains that I am DYING to put in my dining room! I love them! 🙂
Loved your family pics yesterday and loving the pictures of your day today. Gives me some motivation to get mine started. 😉
