and i made a video.
three things today.
that's it.
(niiiiice freeze frame…..)
you can buy SUMMER magazine at their website….it's not sold in stores.
Valerie Page - I love that you love lipsticks as much as i do. I used to be a pen hoarder and i would carry around like 50 pens in my purse in high school. Now as an adult, i am a lipstick hoarder. 🙂 LOL
anyhow, i love reading your blog. i try to look everyday to see if you have written a new post. Me and my three girls LOVE to do crafts!!! Our house is loud and busy all the time. but most days i love it…most days that is:)
anyhoo, since you love lipsticks so much, i just wanted to let you know that I sell avon and we have a great special going on …2 for 5.99 lipsticks and nail polishes. avon is not just cosmetics anymore though:)
don’t know if you have an avon lady, but i am always trying to make new friends 🙂 so if you like lipsticks, check out my avon rep. website. You can order long distance and any orders over 30.00 is free shipping and handling…BONUS:)

Melissa - Loving that you have three songs from Mumford and Sons as I am going to see them in concert next month. I sheepishly admit I have not heard their music yet though – best downlod of Itunes pronto!
Beth - I think Vloging is definitely for you! You’re a natural!
jamie - love the video…so stinkin cute
the lipstick is so pretty
and yay for being in summer magazine. i’ve never heard of it so i’m going to go check it out.
Tammy Johnson - Love the video, feels like we’re chattin’ and having a cup of coffee!
BriBedell - The pictures of Craig…so cute! I should get my hubbies out! I love your videos you should do them once a week 🙂
Charlotte - you are silly & fun…you made good random videos! 🙂
hahaha happy weekend!
Sugar Mama - Seriously, I can not wait to meet you and hear you speak in September at Blog Sugar. And I am now completely convinced that I need to download Adele’s album from iTunes. I keep putting it off (out of laziness).
Kim - Great video and made even better by the pop-ups. You are adorable.
Gale - LOVE the songs you listed… would love a copy of the magazine, too, but at $22, it’s out of my price range as long as gas is this ridiculous – but appreciated the vicarious look at it in your video 🙂 You rock!
Amy Lynne - I hope you have a great day too! Happy Friday!
Karma - LOVE the lipstick – just bought those exact yummy colors about a week ago! Waiting for my Summer mag to arrive in my mailbox … and I’m going to check out your playlist while I have my second or third cup of coffee … always love new music, it’s inspiring …get’s me through the day, keeps me calm like you … you’re awesome! 🙂
Meagan - Congrats on the mag! Your too cute! I have four kids and Im so haggard..lol! I really like that lipstick. Would you mind sharing your eyeshadow…that color is to die for…
Your colorful blog brightens my day. Blessings!
karen - My magazine came today. Love it. Love hearing your voice. Is it weird to talk back to the screen like we are really having coffee together? 🙂
Andrea T - love it! you posts always have such perfect timing. i was just telling my hisband i dont feel so pretty lately, time to go lipstick shopping 😉 and i love the chalkboard wall, painted one in our kitchen and it just makes me smile!
Simply Lanny - Hi Megan … love to hear your voice ! I’ve been thinking about doing a video post myself 🙂 congrats on the new summer magazine I love it, didn’t know you would be in it so nice ! hope all is well 🙂
danielle burkleo - i wanted to eat that lipstick with the almond name! and i think we need to start a vlog series. something funny. something fun. mmmkay?
Teresa - You can change the settings on your webcam so that it doesn’t do the mirror thing
Annika - How funny to hear your voice! You talk in a much calmer way than I imagined you would. But you sound very nice! Not surprising really, seeing as your writing is also very nice. :o)
Michelle from Australia - Love the video! Still getting used to your ‘accent’ 🙂 As soon as I pressed play on the video, I saw your lipstick. Now I’m an Accountant and usually TOTALLY blind to all things cosmetic. So that means one of three things…..(1) You should be a lipstick model?? (2) Great lipstick?? (3) Both of the previous options???
Esther - Meg, you are so adorable. Loving the videos alot!!! and want to know about them lipsticks–what brand are they?? I am interested in the sparkly one…lol.
Beverly - Hee hee hee. Congratulations on the magazine! It must feel supremely satisfying to have lovely photos of your home…in print on somebody else’s pages. Not that that makes your own *actual* home any less wonderful. Your craft Thursdays idea inspires me. I’ll have to check out your site for more specifics.
Bailey - You’re so cute! Hope you had a great day as well!
sarah harper - great post… i caught myself saying aloud, “awww, i just love her!” after watching your video. 🙂 thanks for sharing your 3 favorites today!
sheri - Ok, that video was too cute. You talk just like you write. awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Jen - Adele rocks it!!!
Alicia - Meg- I love your videos!
And I think they’re fascinating (not boring like you seem to suggest in your little text commentaries on the video haha!)
Keep doing them! I wish I had a webcam on my laptop so I could make cute little vids like yours!
Also- the way you (and all Americans, I guess!) pronounce “Craig” cracks me up. It sounds like “Greg” to me… “Creg” perhaps?
We (I’m Australian) pronounce the “ai” a lot more so it sounds like “Cray g”
I wish I had a web cam so I could take a video and show you how we say it 🙂
Katy - You know what makes me sad? The fact that I love your videos and I can’t hear this one right now. 🙁 We are in the midst of moving.. Our computer is here and the speakers are at the new house. 🙁 BOO!
Whitney - mumford & sons…you have to know and love the avett brothers too!!!! their lyrics are ace!!
Anne @ Baking Me - What a pretty lipstick and I love your playlist I want to put it on my ipod too and attempt some gardening.
tiffany - Waht about Adele #6? and #12! maybe next week? This week they rock for me. Holla. Does it take long to edit vid? Just curious. Lata. Peace. Deuces.
Jacci - Are you really that calm? 😉 You’ve said before that you’re entire family is super loud, but in all your videos you seem completely Mrs. Chill. I loved this, though. Not dorky. Very fun 🙂
How about letting one of the kids take a video during some crazy right-before-dinner-time. I think I’d like that 🙂
~Jacci in Ohio (who’s expecting our 5th in September and just found out IT’S A GIRL!!!!)
Joy - I swear you are so stinkin cute. Hi back to you.
Valerie @ Chateau A La Mode - You did it again! Such fun to watch you. Congrats on the magazine article. Love the lipstick!
Heather R. - I was reading your comments to this post. Some things that made me giggle: the bloggy Oprah(pretty true) and I tell my hubby about you, too. All good! I love the video of you and fab new lipstick. I think I can remember the color of the liner: wine 🙂
The pic of your Greg looks Talby-ish. Hope you had a great day.
Gretchen - I love randomness. Makes me feel normal. 😉
Thank you for posting your playlist. I’m all about some new music on my own playlist! I had never heard of Adele (I know, you’re probably thinking “WHERE has this girl been?!”) So I just added 4 of her songs. Woot woot!

julia - The first time I heard your voice, I thought “that doesn’t sound like Meg” Hmm…I guess you didn’t sound like the Meg voice I had in my head. In this video you sound like you. Yes, I wake up weird.
I like your lip.stick.
julia

April M - hi back at you! that was fun!
made me ponder, what would be my fav 3 things for the day…hmmm
1 zig-zag part on my daughters hair (it wasnt perfect but fun to try something new)
2 Third Day on pandora
3 and listening to my guys laugh while watching myth busters
Leah - I got my copy of Summer the other day and I just keep staring at it! It’s beautiful. And I love your spread. So colorful and happy. Speaking of happy, I’ll have you know that I read your blog every morning at work (don’t tell my boss) and it brings a smile to my face and gets me going when I need to first thing in the AM. So thanks!
carolyn - you are so cute. i love videos on blogs — so much more personal.
and i totally dig your playlist and second PP mandy’s suggestion for the avett brothers. and i’ll add my own recommendation for the head and the heart.
Kristy - VA VA VOOM! The video loves you Mrs. Duerksen! I noticed your lipstick right away….purty. I received my magazine 2 days ago and I love it! I shouted to my husband, “my Kansas blogger is in here!!” I have no business saying “my” but it was just quicker than saying “you know…my favorite blogger with FIVE adorable kids, hunky husband, lovely restored Victorian and Waffle who I stalk every day?” lol! My daughter noticed the artwork and pointed out the ones we have done (they love your crafts!) For playlist try Amos Lee – Windows Are Rolled Down and Be Here Now by Ray LaMontagne is a beautiful song. I’ve been listening to Carole King lately and Coldplay’s Parachutes which in my opinion is one of the best albums ever! And last, did you have your chalkboard in the mag custom made or is it one of your scores? Have a splendid day!
Alicia @ La Famille - you’re too cute, ms. meg 🙂 love your new lip color…i just got a new Burt’s Bee Tinted Lip Balm and i’m in love! oh, and your playlist matches mine…we’ve got good taste 🙂
Lisa - Love these videos!! 🙂 Is it totally lame to say I feel like we could be friends? 🙂
Jennifer - Love the video!!! You’re a hoot! 😉
Kimberlee Jost - This got me to thinking…we should skype coffee time. Why haven’t I thought of this before?
🙂
Ashlyn@Pinecone - Love, love, love Mumford & Sons, the Black Keys, and Adele. Do you like Ellie Goulding? Her songs starry eyed, lights, and Your Song(remake of the Elton song) Love her…she was on SNL last week.
Got my Matthew Mead yesterday…you article is fabulous!!
xo
Mandy - Hey Megs! Love your playlist, lots of goodies that I listen to on there. So, I have a suggestion, you should check out The Avett Brothers. Even my kids love them and sing along!
