We would love to see our Honey, I'm Homemaker audience grow! If you would share the link with a friend or two in your life, the message of joyful homemaking can spread further!
Please talk about, how your moms prepared you to run the home...also about how to be a good friend as a married person. Thanks, I send my love, prayers.
I'm watching this in my 40s and smiling at you sweet gals. Thirty to forty is also a big leap, don't be fooled lol. God bless you both, keep up the good work, you are inspiring young women to get back to doing the things that women naturally thrive at. I love it!
About turning 30: I looked forward to it because for most of my life I'd heard my grandma say, Oh Kate, my 30's were the best years of my life. They will be wonderful for you, too! She wasn't wrong. When I think back on it I realize what a gift that encouragement was.
My biggest takeaway from the video was Jayna sharing about her grief in her 20s and how she was in a roundabout way thankful for that part of her story. I haven’t had a miscarriage or lost a family member yet, and I live in daily fear of it. But Jayna helped me realize I need to let go of that fear, and trust God through my journey. Seasons of grief happen for a purpose, whether it be to learn how to empathize with others or grow closer to God through the process of grief. Thanks, Jayna, for being so open with your story, and using it to encourage me.
It would be great to hear about your friendships. I'm 45 and have no friends, I have kids from 27 to 15 who have a hard time making friends. I wish we lived in a community like y'all.
Thank you for addressing miscarriages and the grief that comes with it and how you dealt with it. It is so encouraging to see how you manage to be a happy person in spite of everything. Thank you.
A big thing I learned in my 30’s was to be comfortable with less. We used to always go big or go home. Not necessarily living beyond our means but really living at the tippy top of them. We got new (to us) cars every couple of years just for the heck of it. We had a large home on a hill that I struggled to keep cleaned and my husband struggled to keep up the maintenance on. Then out of nowhere we had a situation happen where we inherited my in laws much smaller home that I honestly never had any intentions of living in. We thought about it, prayed about it and decided to sell our home and renovate his parents old home and move there. It was a huge leap of faith for me. But honestly it was the best decision we had made in a long time. It was humbling to downsize but it was humbling in a good way. I often felt like I was pretending to be something I wasn’t before and now I feel like I belong here. It trickled down into making better decisions with other large purchases as well. I sold my “limited” van and got a much more scaled down version, more practical and I don’t worry as much about my current one like I did the previous one. We’re almost debt free now and it’s amazing. It really has been freeing. We get to do fun things like camping and sometimes we get to take extra vacations that we couldn’t before. I would much rather have experiences than stuff. I don’t worry about impressing anybody and I honestly don’t care what anybody thinks anymore. I guess it’s just called growing up. I think every decade has significance, don’t take any of it for granted.
I would love to hear your ideas on how to make and keep close friendships. What do you do with your friends? (Especially when you can’t afford going out to eat all the time.) Loved the episode! ❤
Yessss!! I will be here in 10 years, Lord willing!! Y’all really don’t know how much you bless me with these chats. I do not have many friends, I especially do not have Christian friends, and this is very encouraging. Thank you both for sharing this wonderful friendship with us. I really appreciate the time and effort you out into these episodes. Blessings upon blessings!
I vote for an episode on friendship! Tips for making new friends, ideas for fun activities to do, etc. I moved away from where I grew up and sadly am no longer in touch with anyone from grade school or high school. I am blessed with several very good moms friends, although my two best ones both moved states away over the summer. We still keep in touch though and I hope to see them again someday!
My 40th birthday was the best in my life. I thought I would hate it. I woke up and felt like a weight was off me. I was healthy, I was employed. Everything was what it was. My stress level went down 89 percent. Happy birthday 🎁🎈🎉🎂
Keep sewing! My mother sewed and out of 8 girls, one has continued. My great niece sews and quilts. Glad to see the art passed on to the next generation.
I had lots of relatives (great aunts, great uncles, grandparents, etc.) pass away in my late teens early 20s. My dad passed when I was 26. Navigating grief for the first time is hard. Buy having experienced it allows opportunity to be a blessing to others in their times of grief. Now in my upper 50s I am studying to be a death doula and hope to also become a Grief educator. I’m grateful to God for this direction in my life and the sacred responsibility to walk with others during their times of grief.
I've just recently come across Honey I'm Homemaker. I have to say I love it. You two are so cute together and play off each other's conversations so well. 💗
I look forward to these so much! Every other Monday, I hop into my bed or snuggle onto the couch, and watch this like a live sports event 🤣 it’s like a teeny tiny vacay during naptime!
I can identify with Jayna so much I got married the week before I turned 20 and since being married have lost a full term baby boy after six days of life, my grandpa 3months later and my husband's grandma about a week ago. You are both so encouraging!!
A few weeks after I turned 30 my husband's business was robbed and he tried to fight off the , & died as a result of his injuries. Definately 1979 was the ultimate worst time of my life. I was married young and I was very niave , but I had to learn very quickly how to deal with the cruel world out there. I was determined to make it on my own - and there were more downs than ups but eventually I got things turned around.
Loved this episode! Very raw and real. I'm 71 and yes you never stop worrying about your children and then it's also your grandchildren!! Going from 39 into 40 was the one I remember...cause I had to get reading eye glasses🙄😉
I struggled a LOT with turning 30. It just felt so mature, and I still felt like a teenager. Now I'm closer to 40 and it isn't scary to me. I'm a lot more healthy emotionally than I was at 30. My kids are older and I'm grateful for this season. I'm able to focus on that growth and the gift of growing older.
In my twenties it was so important to me to have the wreath on the door switched over to the next holiday at midnight so people could see in the morning how "on the ball" I supposedly was..haha.😀. Fast forward to my current age of mid-fifties and I still have all my Christmas stuff up lol. But I do keep my Nativity and undecorated Christmas tree up all year round since I love the extra greenery and it keeps that surface from being a catchall. My brother who passed from suicide gave me the Nativity and I love that it reminds me of him and how I'll see him again because of Jesus and I believe we can be reminded of Christ's birth all year round.
Learning more of the history of the Bible, the original languages, the cultural context it was in which it was first written and shared, actually brought me back to church. I began that deep dive into the Bible while studying at a secular and very liberal university, where I also learned about the history and cultural context of feminism. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to do both, at the same time... It helped me separate fearful superstition and unhealthy family dynamics from real, life-giving wisdom. Jesus finally began to sound like good news ❤
Thank you both for giving your time to this I love your podcasts. The topic made me smile as Ive just entered my sixties and I can honestly see that the only decade change that was hard was leaving my teens. I did five new things for turning fifty including my first overseas mission trip that God really used to show me new ways of serving especially in the wider community . I was a SAHM and I feel that the skills I learnt through those years help me show love and compassion in the simple every day things I love your chats and think they are relevant to women of every age .
Sadly, due to babies lost before we met them, I wasn't pregnant at the same time as my mom but my 2nd is born in 2020, my baby brother born in 2021, and my 3rd is born in 2022. So much fun! We call them the Three Musketeers 😆💛
Great chat girls. Really enjoyed hearing about your journeys, and could relate to quite a lot of the emotions, even though I'm in a different stage of life. Not long in my 50s (bit of a hurdle mentally) and my husband died in my 40s. This was a very difficult time, but also a time when I experienced God's presence on a much deeper level than ever before as well. Finding the path God has for me, His truth, and the faith and courage to follow are my goals for my 50s.
New mom here! I have gleaned so much wisdom from you gals. Titus 2 Women, the older teaching the younger. ☺️ (watching while washing dishes and second half while my baby sleeps). Thank you for these mom chats; they’ve become some of my favorites. So edifying.🌷
I love what you say Megan about searching the Truth,and recognizing false teaching. My goal also!! Jayna your goal of a stronger marriage is also very worthwhile to pursue. Thanks ladies,blessings from Israel
You ladies are so encouraging to me! Thank you! I’m in my early thirties with 3 kids under 4 and being reminded to prioritize my home, kids, faith, and marriage gives me some resolve when I want to quit (which feels like every couple days!)
Ladies, what a gift it is to watch such a wholesome podcast. I love how you weave some of the hard truths of life, relationships and motherhood with the beauty of it all. ❤🙏
I LOVE these 💕 I can't click fast enough when I see them. You guys feel so genuine and I love your energy together. Buuut, do you mind turning up your mic volumes a bit? I am doing house work while listening, and the ads blast so loud compared to the video. I have to run over to my phone to turn it down and then turn it back up.
It's not about the decades for me. It's about eye prescriptions. I don't even know how old I was when I redid my prescription- and the numbers went way up... And the first thing I saw with my new glasses was many, many gray hairs, not just a few or two or 3. What an eye opener. ... That was 10 years ago and I'm 48... And still young at heart ❤️.
I enjoyed this I’m a grandma but I can always learn. So true,friendships need some effort. Recently I was almost to lazy to go to a sisters day at our church(for those of us who don’t have sisters here) that morning I heard some ladies on a podcast and they said how we all need connection, so I went and had such a good time. You don’t know who you might be prodding in the right direction. I also needed to hear not to care so much what others do or think.
Just some food for thought because you've mentioned feminism in a couple of videos and you seem not to like it: Feminism as I understand it from my studies is about the equality of the sexes from the perspective of things like civil rights and respecting the humanity of all people. Fundamentally feminism is about choice. Thus, feminists such as myself support all women's choices to live their lives as they choose. It's about my freedom to do me and your freedom to do you. So you should not be forced to live like me and vice versa. You may see the sexes as fulfilling different roles and that's totally fine. You have the right to choose to live your life in a specific way as a woman and that's wonderful. I would encourage you to look deeper like you said and maybe read some things written by feminist scholars like bell hooks whose book is called "feminism is for everybody," which is what I believe.❤️
We currently have three kiddos and recently bought a Ford passenger van. It's beastly but I love how much room it has! We only have 2 benches in it and the other day I was running errands and learned that I can fit our triple stroller in the back without collapsing it! 😲😁 Mindblown!
I am not complaining, I repeat-I AM NOT COMPLAINING - I thought u may want to know the audio for me was super low-the commercials were louder-I used a Bluetooth speaker so that helped but I never experienced with that on your videos :) Figured I would mention it. Great Video
Just some odd ideas...would you feel less of a Mennonite IF...you wore more makeup/ wore earrings or a ring/ sneakily wore track pants when at home/ studied at University/ sent your kids to a non Christian school/ had few Mennonite friends but heaps of friends outside your Church & Liifestyle / had an amzing career outside the home & kids go to childcare??? Just curious questions perhaps for a Podcast?? Im going to be 70 this year but feel about 53 !!! Have 3 kids & 8 grandies & a lovely Husband..all good !
This was a great episode, and I really enjoyed it. Perhaps it’s only me, but I felt as though you did not have the volume of your microphones as high as they were before, and I struggled in a few places to understand everything. Again, maybe it was only me. I’m using the same device I always use and I just had some difficulties. But I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.
Im 34 and turning 30 wasnt really a big deal to me. I find it kinda sad as Im aging because I know my parents and loved ones are aging as well and I can start to see the decline in them. I agree that when you are in your 20s you care too much about what others think! I was the same way and finally "outgrew" it and just became more confident in who I was. I got married at 29, so I guess you could say I learned how to manage a household too in my 20s....and am still learning!
I always wanted to be older when i was young for 1 reason, people never took me seriously or heard me. Im 31 with a second baby on the way, people still dont take me seriously lol other than that i dont care about getting older, i love ageing and seeing what God put in store for me with every season of life. 😊
Another wonderfully entertaining, grounded and informative show ladies! I always look forward to these and will remember to pack an extra toothbrush when I go away (just in case) 😂. God Bless you both 🙏
I went to an outdoor wedding in the Florida Keys last July. My friends made so much fun of me for bringing a little fan, and I said, "Don't ask to borrow it now!!!" Turns out everyone asked because it was SO HOT haha
Having just turned 50 last October, I really enjoyed listening to this episode. No, I'm not a grandma yet, as I didn't get married until I was 29. I'm in the teen Mom stage. 😜 It's intense but it's mostly good. You will be there before you know it!
Were your sweater vests a planned thing to look older 😂? I’m almost sixty and No to sweater vests , although you gals are cute . I think I was a bit depressed about thirty and then again at 50 . Next birthday 60 and I plan to live it up 😊.
2 miscarriages in my 25th year. I for sure had a happy childhood and learned how I grieve then too. ❤️ and yesss Megan “you’re just not that important!” Yessss and ME with the one big suitcase!!!
Funny you mentioned the toothbrush. This morning, for some unknown reason, I grabbed my husband's toothbrush. Even as I had it in my hand and noticed it seemed different, it didn't occur to me that it was his . . . yeah, until it was too late. Oops! Insert Listerine gargle here. 🤦♀️ What?? Never has this happened before.
Thanks again for the encouragement and just you too sharing your lives ,my take away is one day at a time trying to live to please God ,and both your goals are so good,marriage rel,relationships and knowing why you believe what you believe ,always being teachable ,thanks again ,Teresa in Mn Blessings to you both
Re: feminism, the main goal of feminism is to give men and women equal rights and opportunities. It’s not about tearing one gender down or saying women and men are the same. I know your religion has more defined gender roles (and you’re entitled to your beliefs and lifestyle!!) but I hope you understand that maybe not every woman (especially a non Christian) wants to fulfill that role and deserves the rights and opportunity to fulfill other roles. Some people can take it too far, but again, the main goal is equality in opportunity and rights. Hope you continue your feminist learning journey!
I always joke with my husband when he refuses to let me put my cold feet on him "You specifically said in your vows that you would let me put my cold feet on you" and he replies "Ummm no I didn't". LOL I would also love a "How to make and keep new friends" talk.
Oh my gosh, Megan, sleeping on the couch because you're mad! I feel that so much, I am a little crazy... I can't be inside the house/apartment with my husband when I'm mad at him, I have slept outside on several occasions. Once it was actually very comfortable because I went and slept on a lounge chair with a nice comforter, but I've also slept on the floor of our balcony!🤣😬 Thankfully haven't been that angry in quite a while🙏
I wouldn’t call myself a feminist , I don’t agree with all of their arguments , I would say that I am pro-women though. I think it’s important to maybe look at a feminism through a biblical world view.
It was fun and informative listening to you both! Good perspectives! God gave us the Bible in English because we speak English! No need for Greek 😅 King James
Random Mennonite related question, was it an adjustment in your teen years when you went from not covering your hair to covering it? Or was it more something you were excited to start doing?
No it was very awkward for me at first. I felt like I was supposed to act like a different person, but I really wasn't. It was probably more of a dramatic moment than it needed to be, but with talking to other women who chose to cover--even later in life, it's always an adjustment.
I loved this ladies!! Another good topic that has come to mind would be how to submit Biblically and in general as a momma, homemaker, wife, daughter to the King, etc to your husband. I’m in the season where I’ve worked for years and now am given the chance to shift my dynamics to a stay at home momma and wife and I’m thrilled but at the same time worried of messing of and i don’t want to downplay my husbands role or mine. Megan you were talking about feminism, wanting to learn more on it and a woman that is steeped in Gods Word and the Lord led me to her years ago just posted a podcast/ video on it and man it hits home… ua-cam.com/video/mloftQRXAYw/v-deo.html
You seemed insensitive when your friend brought up grief Megan. You didn’t even acknowledge what she said. If I was having this chat with you I would’ve been really hurt if my “friend” dismissed me like that. I pray for healing for her heart.
We would love to see our Honey, I'm Homemaker audience grow! If you would share the link with a friend or two in your life, the message of joyful homemaking can spread further!
Would love if it was on Spotify!
Please talk about, how your moms prepared you to run the home...also about how to be a good friend as a married person. Thanks, I send my love, prayers.
I'm watching this in my 40s and smiling at you sweet gals. Thirty to forty is also a big leap, don't be fooled lol. God bless you both, keep up the good work, you are inspiring young women to get back to doing the things that women naturally thrive at. I love it!
Jayna you should be very proud of your business. You are so natural and unassuming which is very refreshing to see on you tube.
About turning 30: I looked forward to it because for most of my life I'd heard my grandma say, Oh Kate, my 30's were the best years of my life. They will be wonderful for you, too! She wasn't wrong. When I think back on it I realize what a gift that encouragement was.

Seasons of grief happen for a purpose, whether it be to learn how to empathize with others or grow closer to God through the process of grief. Thanks, Jayna, for being so open with your story, and using it to encourage me.
Wow... thanks so much for commenting. It's so meaningful to know that sharing my story is valuable to someone. ❤️
It would be great to hear about your friendships. I'm 45 and have no friends, I have kids from 27 to 15 who have a hard time making friends. I wish we lived in a community like y'all.
I second this! Hearing how you approach friendships in Mennonite culture would be so enlightening!
It is hard to make friends, as adults, busy lives and old friendships drift, I found joining my local walking group helped 😊
It’s so fun being part of your chats. Both of you have unique personalities and would be lovely friends to have.
Hope you felt a part of the conversation!
Thank you for addressing miscarriages and the grief that comes with it and how you dealt with it. It is so encouraging to see how you manage to be a happy person in spite of everything. Thank you.

Yessss!! I will be here in 10 years, Lord willing!! Y’all really don’t know how much you bless me with these chats. I do not have many friends, I especially do not have Christian friends, and this is very encouraging. Thank you both for sharing this wonderful friendship with us. I really appreciate the time and effort you out into these episodes. Blessings upon blessings!
Gosh I am 62 this April. You have no idea how encouraging your talks are. I appreciate how vulnerable Jayna is, God bless you both.
I vote for an episode on friendship! Tips for making new friends, ideas for fun activities to do, etc. I moved away from where I grew up and sadly am no longer in touch with anyone from grade school or high school.

Oh wow! I knew we had some watchers! Although I do prefer listening to podcast style videos when I'm doing boring tasks! Thanks for watching!
Same😂❤

My 25th was harder than 30! 30s was parenting years and I really devoted myself to my kids. It was like a blink!

Thank you so much for this. I so enjoyed this! I’m 22 and newly married-this was kind of like the “cheat sheet” for my 20s. ✨
Sadly, due to babies lost before we met them, I wasn't pregnant at the same time as my mom but my 2nd is born in 2020, my baby brother born in 2021, and my 3rd is born in 2022. So much fun! We call them the Three Musketeers 😆💛
I’m 67 and watched from beginning Megan. I have two girls 36 and 40 and three grandchildren. Enjoy both of you chatting!
Great chat girls. Really enjoyed hearing about your journeys, and could relate to quite a lot of the emotions, even though I'm in a different stage of life.

That’s so funny, I think of these girls as VERY young! That’s coming from an older woman. We can all learn from those who have gone before us.
Your conversations always gives me great things to think about. Thank you!
I love what you say Megan about searching the Truth,and recognizing false teaching. My goal also!! Jayna your goal of a stronger marriage is also very worthwhile to pursue. Thanks ladies,blessings from Israel
These episodes are great! It would be neat to see/experience more of Jayna's daily life along with yours sometime. Maybe a special episode?☺️
Mmmm.... you would be bored 😴 But I'm flattered!
@@jaynaburkholder1507 I second that!!!
You ladies are so encouraging to me! Thank you! I’m in my early thirties with 3 kids under 4 and being reminded to prioritize my home, kids, faith, and marriage gives me some resolve when I want to quit (which feels like every couple days!)
Ladies, what a gift it is to watch such a wholesome podcast. I love how you weave some of the hard truths of life, relationships and motherhood with the beauty of it all. ❤🙏
Haha I loved the tooth brush story! That is so funny!
Thanks for the awesome, inspiring video! Such a highlight when a new one comes out & I find it uplifting to keep on as a young mom. Blessings 💗
I love this b/c I feel like I'm just one of your friends. I'm 31 too, with 4 kids and can relate to a lot!
Anxiety can be triggered by a number of things, but I've personally discovered that fluxuating hormones can play a big role. Also caffeine.
The tooth brush thing made me laugh! After being married for 10 years a shared tooth brush doesn’t matter to me anymore. 😂
I found out early on in our marriage that shared toothbrush is a thing so I accepted it. “Is his mouth THAT much grosser than mine?” No! Lol😊
Lol, yes, I figure we certainly share all the germs anyway, so while I don’t generally share with my husband I will if needed.
Freezing toes on the husbands leg! I do it all the time!! 😂 Why do we ladies have ice cold toes?!
I am 61 yrs old and you helped me understand my husbands disc golf hobby. 🤣
I LOVE these 💕 I can't click fast enough when I see them. You guys feel so genuine and I love your energy together.
Buuut, do you mind turning up your mic volumes a bit? I am doing house work while listening, and the ads blast so loud compared to the video. I have to run over to my phone to turn it down and then turn it back up.
It's not about the decades for me. It's about eye prescriptions. I don't even know how old I was when I redid my prescription- and the numbers went way up...

Fellow golfer wife 🙋♀️ Enjoyed this episode and can relate as I'm a SAHM and I'm also in my 20's.
Yeah, how many times did we bring up golf? Too many!
@@MeganFoxUnlocked I do love that they can have hobbies aside from work responsibilities, just like we need hobbies or creative outlets.
I enjoyed this I’m a grandma but I can always learn. So true,friendships need some effort. Recently I was almost to lazy to go to a sisters day at our church(for those of us who don’t have sisters here) that morning I heard some ladies on a podcast and they said how we all need connection, so I went and had such a good time. You don’t know who you might be prodding in the right direction. I also needed to hear not to care so much what others do or think.
Thanks for the fun chat. The volume is a little low.
Love y'alls chats! The audio is a little quiet, just for future reference. You do a great job with all your videos!
Just some food for thought because you've mentioned feminism in a couple of videos and you seem not to like it: Feminism as I understand it from my studies is about the equality of the sexes from the perspective of things like civil rights and respecting the humanity of all people. Fundamentally feminism is about choice. Thus, feminists such as myself support all women's choices to live their lives as they choose. It's about my freedom to do me and your freedom to do you. So you should not be forced to live like me and vice versa. You may see the sexes as fulfilling different roles and that's totally fine. You have the right to choose to live your life in a specific way as a woman and that's wonderful. I would encourage you to look deeper like you said and maybe read some things written by feminist scholars like bell hooks whose book is called "feminism is for everybody," which is what I believe.❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this! You had some eye opening tips! I enjoy this channel! Keep it coming!!
We currently have three kiddos and recently bought a Ford passenger van. It's beastly but I love how much room it has! We only have 2 benches in it and the other day I was running errands and learned that I can fit our triple stroller in the back without collapsing it! 😲😁 Mindblown!
I am not complaining, I repeat-I AM NOT COMPLAINING - I thought u may want to know the audio for me was super low-the commercials were louder-I used a Bluetooth speaker so that helped but I never experienced with that on your videos :) Figured I would mention it. Great Video
Thanks I'll report this to Josh!
Just watched the intro. You ladies are a blast to watch! Hope to watch this before it's time to go pick up my kiddos from school!
Just some odd ideas...would you feel less of a Mennonite IF...you wore more makeup/ wore earrings or a ring/ sneakily wore track pants when at home/ studied at University/ sent your kids to a non Christian school/ had few Mennonite friends but heaps of friends outside your Church & Liifestyle / had an amzing career outside the home & kids go to childcare??? Just curious questions perhaps for a Podcast?? Im going to be 70 this year but feel about 53 !!! Have 3 kids & 8 grandies & a lovely Husband..all good !
Very nice to have you back ladies! ❤❤😊
This was a great episode, and I really enjoyed it. Perhaps it’s only me, but I felt as though you did not have the volume of your microphones as high as they were before, and I struggled in a few places to understand everything. Again, maybe it was only me. I’m using the same device I always use and I just had some difficulties. But I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.
Im 34 and turning 30 wasnt really a big deal to me. I find it kinda sad as Im aging because I know my parents and loved ones are aging as well and I can start to see the decline in them. I agree that when you are in your 20s you care too much about what others think! I was the same way and finally "outgrew" it and just became more confident in who I was. I got married at 29, so I guess you could say I learned how to manage a household too in my 20s....and am still learning!
Yeah that's the sad part. Aging parents and grandparents!
LOVED THIS EPISODE!!!! encouraging that I wasn’t alone in some of these things I’ve experienced in my 20s!!
I always wanted to be older when i was young for 1 reason, people never took me seriously or heard me. Im 31 with a second baby on the way, people still dont take me seriously lol other than that i dont care about getting older, i love ageing and seeing what God put in store for me with every season of life. 😊
Another wonderfully entertaining, grounded and informative show ladies! I always look forward to these and will remember to pack an extra toothbrush when I go away (just in case) 😂.
God Bless you both 🙏
These are my favorite of all your videos.
I enjoyed that thoroughly! Well done!
Another great episode, thanks ladies. 😊
Would Jayna be willing to share some show recommendations/what she’s watching? 😊
I just LOVE you girls! Watching now while my toddler naps! You both are so encouraging thank you from a grateful mama💖💖
Thanks for being here!
Immediately clicked thumbs up! 😊♡
Happy Birthday Megan! ☆♡☆
I went to an outdoor wedding in the Florida Keys last July. My friends made so much fun of me for bringing a little fan, and I said, "Don't ask to borrow it now!!!" Turns out everyone asked because it was SO HOT haha
Having just turned 50 last October, I really enjoyed listening to this episode. No, I'm not a grandma yet, as I didn't get married until I was 29. I'm in the teen Mom stage. 😜 It's intense but it's mostly good. You will be there before you know it!
Y'all ladies are hilarious love your video thanks for sharing your experiences y'all have a blessed Monday night 🙏❤️
Were your sweater vests a planned thing to look older 😂? I’m almost sixty and No to sweater vests , although you gals are cute . I think I was a bit depressed about thirty and then again at 50 . Next birthday 60 and I plan to live it up 😊.
2 miscarriages in my 25th year. I for sure had a happy childhood and learned how I grieve then too. ❤️ and yesss Megan “you’re just not that important!” Yessss and ME with the one big suitcase!!!
Sorry for your loss ❤️
Hi Girls! Anxiety does not care what religion you are. It’s a little more complicated than that. You might want to do some research on it. Take care!
Funny you mentioned the toothbrush. This morning, for some unknown reason, I grabbed my husband's toothbrush. Even as I had it in my hand and noticed it seemed different, it didn't occur to me that it was his . . . yeah, until it was too late. Oops! Insert Listerine gargle here. 🤦♀️ What?? Never has this happened before.
Ewwww! Hey we all survive I guess!
I don’t quite get this. You are fine kissing deeply inside his mouth and exchanging germs and saliva, so why is a toothbrush a deal breaker?
Thanks again for the encouragement and just you too sharing your lives ,my take away is one day at a time trying to live to please God ,and both your goals are so good,marriage rel,relationships and knowing why you believe what you believe ,always being teachable ,thanks again ,Teresa in Mn Blessings to you both
Thnx for the great video!❤
Re: feminism, the main goal of feminism is to give men and women equal rights and opportunities. It’s not about tearing one gender down or saying women and men are the same. I know your religion has more defined gender roles (and you’re entitled to your beliefs and lifestyle!!) but I hope you understand that maybe not every woman (especially a non Christian) wants to fulfill that role and deserves the rights and opportunity to fulfill other roles. Some people can take it too far, but again, the main goal is equality in opportunity and rights. Hope you continue your feminist learning journey!
The toothbrush story 😂😂😂
I always joke with my husband when he refuses to let me put my cold feet on him "You specifically said in your vows that you would let me put my cold feet on you" and he replies "Ummm no I didn't". LOL I would also love a "How to make and keep new friends" talk.
Isn’t that included in “Love and cherish”? Lol
Wow I really really enjoyed this video. 😍
I can relate to so so many things pretty much everything yall talked about
Oh my gosh, Megan, sleeping on the couch because you're mad! I feel that so much, I am a little crazy... I can't be inside the house/apartment with my husband when I'm mad at him, I have slept outside on several occasions. Once it was actually very comfortable because I went and slept on a lounge chair with a nice comforter, but I've also slept on the floor of our balcony!🤣😬
Thankfully haven't been that angry in quite a while🙏
It's embarrassing, but it's true. I guess we all have our battles we need to learn to overcome!
Loved this!!!
I wouldn’t call myself a feminist , I don’t agree with all of their arguments , I would say that I am pro-women though. I think it’s important to maybe look at a feminism through a biblical world view.
It was fun and informative listening to you both! Good perspectives!
God gave us the Bible in English because we speak English! No need for Greek 😅 King James
Random Mennonite related question, was it an adjustment in your teen years when you went from not covering your hair to covering it? Or was it more something you were excited to start doing?
No it was very awkward for me at first. I felt like I was supposed to act like a different person, but I really wasn't. It was probably more of a dramatic moment than it needed to be, but with talking to other women who chose to cover--even later in life, it's always an adjustment.
I was excited. It's an adjustment too
As usual I could watch you two talk for hours, Thank you ❤
Thanks so much for being here!
Does Jana have a separate channel like Megan does?
Nope! You can follow me on Instagram @jaynalynnhandmade but I'm not very active there either. Thanks for watching!
Thanks
Jayna, i would definetly sibscribe if you ever did your own you tube channel.👍🏻❤️🙏
I second that!
I loved this ladies!! Another good topic that has come to mind would be how to submit Biblically and in general as a momma, homemaker, wife, daughter to the King, etc to your husband. I’m in the season where I’ve worked for years and now am given the chance to shift my dynamics to a stay at home momma and wife and I’m thrilled but at the same time worried of messing of and i don’t want to downplay my husbands role or mine.
Megan you were talking about feminism, wanting to learn more on it and a woman that is steeped in Gods Word and the Lord led me to her years ago just posted a podcast/ video on it and man it hits home…

yayyy!
You seemed insensitive when your friend brought up grief Megan. You didn’t even acknowledge what she said. If I was having this chat with you I would’ve been really hurt if my “friend” dismissed me like that. I pray for healing for her heart.
