Join Megan and Jayna, a Mennonite cousin duo as they chat all things homemaking and motherhood. Their prayer is that this podcast brings you some food for thought or at the very least, some companionship as you wash dishes, fold laundry, or miracle of miracles . . . have a solo drive in your car!

I've never read the Martyr Mirror, but what I personally like to read for history on like what the Christians in multiple countries jave toen through for their faith is The Voice if the Martyrs.
10 pregnancies. 2 live births. I am so THANKFUL for my 2 little loves.
Love quilts. Can’t do the duvet and all that.
Jana! Love your input and realness!
I also grew up with a quiet time. My mom made me nap until I was 6, or I had to lay on a blanket next to her while she took a nap on the couch. I just started to get a bunch of grey hairs and I told my husband that I will dye it if it comes in fully. . .he wants me to keep it grey when it comes in. I am 40 but I feel grey hair ages a woman like crazy compared to a man. I don't want to look older than my husband (who has a lot of greys) haha. I had never heard about the jewelry thing. I don't wear earrings, but I have my nose pierced (which Rebekah had in the Bible, Gen 24:47) and I wear a wedding band. Otherwise I don't wear jewelry. All the Magnolia stuff in Waco would be fun to visit! I watched all the home renovation show with my husband.
This year we are taking a family vacation and leaving from Charleston going to Nassau and a private island on a cruise ship. There are 15 of us going. I am so excited. We sail out on my birthday. This has been a tough year and I am so ready to put it all behind me and sail away.
The disclaimer 😂😂 please keep using that!!

Thank you for your time. I love these talks ❤

I bought this book a few weeks ago. This reminds me I really want to read it.

We went to Holmes county Ohio on our vacation we traveled from Zebulon, Georgia
This was a fascinating episode!
I have tried to make it a point to not leave a store without having talked to someone. Maybe just a “good morning “. But at least acknowledging someone I don’t know.
I can understand the person who said about not wanting to be a housewife/mom. I used to have a strong opinion on that and whenever a friend would express wanting kids I would literally be like "why would you want that". I thought I needed worldly success like I was being sold. Granted this was before I was saved again. I don't know where that person may be on their walk. BUT I will say once I got pregnant and had my daughter that all changed. When I first found out I was pregnant I literally had an existential crisis. But now I have such a whole new perspective. So that being said; I would encourage someone to not put all their eggs into that basket and close themselves off from the potential. It's been such a blessing to have my husband, be a sahm, and have my daughter. Again no judgement but hopefully a helpful thought.
Megan!! You are speaking to a community of women. You are encouraging and inspiring people, right here, right now. There have been several moments where I faced a problem and I stop and think, "what would Megan say about this?" And I know the first thing you would say is to take it to God first and foremost. You are empowering women in the most biblical sense. Jayna!! Your laugh is contagious! I love giggling along with you about whatever it is that has tickled you in the moment. You are encouraging women through every episode, and I am so grateful for you both to have chosen to share your thoughts and ideas with us. You are true Titus 2 women. 💛💛
Love listening to young ladies /mommy's chat and the topics you bring up. At 77 I can say you are right on target and I can tell you don't fall far from many who think the same. You are so delightful and do bring a lot to be contemplated. Love the idea of you having your little ones learning and doing little tasks to start on their learning process. No one even at eighteen knows how to go and run a home but with what you are doing you have your little ones headed in the right direction to be well rounded and ready for what life will deal them when they are older and ready to go about on their own. Lots I could add but it would be things that you will continue to learn as your lives evolve. No one answer is patt for each person/ man or woman or family / marriage. God bless you both and thank you for what you give your audience. Truly very enjoyable!
hey y'all- loved the chat😀😉 Always enjoy hearing what y'all have to say🥰
You ARE funny, Jayna. 😁
MEGAN! You complete your bucket list item every week! You have an audience of over 100,000 women you speak to every week, and we truly value what you say! If you have something very meaningful you’ve been wanting to say, please say it, I would love to hear and learn from you! You are a role model certainly!
This was a fun episode. In moments when I’m feeling resentful or ungrateful I actively start listing out things my husband does for us and what we are privileged to have. It helps so much! I highly recommend.
I don't think the males have to do just 'the bare minimum'. I definitely don't find grey hair on males good-looking or distinguished 😅 it's a sign of old age and that's not necessarily something that attracts me.
You guys are so cute!❤😂
Love the disclaimer!
I don't want to be a homemaker or ever get married. But that does not mean I don't want to serve people. I'm in law school, and it's my passion to help help those in the adoption and foster care system since I was an adoptee myself. I really don't agree with the traditional wife lifestyle, But since i'm going to be a lawyer, I have to be able to listen to points of view that I don't agree with and still find common ground. Sometimes it's hard with these videos. But I think these ladies are lovely. Thanks for sharing your life
@DerekKenneth-y4rfab 👌🏾
Catholics wear wedding rings because they are sacramentals -- a blessed, holy object that reminds us of the Sacrament of Matrimony and our duty to respond to the graces of the Sacrament. So, it has a much greater purpose than identifying who is married.
You girls are so much fun to listen to and your young perspectives on aging and even parenting are so cute. I am about 10-12 years older than you and have already been through some of the phases you 2 are looking ahead at. I hope life is gentle for you and I promise each phase has its own blessings and trials.
Hearing parents perfect days make me realize how much freedom I have. I don’t have kids, and most of the things they said is things I do.
Yes enjoy it while you have it. Life was so much "easier" before but so much less colorful. It was like living in an English Country Garden, and now I live at an amusement park!! Wouldn't change a thing!
Dutch Blitz is my favorite card game! Interesting to hear it does stem from your culture - I wasn’t sure if it was just a gimmick😅 Several mainstream stores sell it now, but I bought ours at a local Mennonite market and bakery! (I’m not Mennonite, just a Christian who appreciates the Amish and Mennonite cultures🙂)
Jaba said re: gratitude/contentment: "I don't know HOW you do that..." and a KZread ad (female voice) kicked in, "Magnesium for constipation..." It took me a second. 😎
oh my!!!! I guess it was a poorly timed ad???? hahahah!
Great to hear some answers to my questions! Great series..you get thru alot. Im a city girl..a grandma and LOVE wearing rings & earrings..i feel a bit undressed without them!! My husband wears his when out but not in his shed or doing jobs
I love this channel ❤❤
We are just domesticated housewives and listener discretion is advised 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know you ladies deserve the break, but I am SO sad to not get a new episode for another month. However, I will live lol. 😅
Love mowing! But I have a zero turn
Megan- you have mentioned watching KZread videos in the shower in the past. Do you have a case or something you are putting your phone in so it doesn’t get wet or fall in the shower? I have wondered about that in the past, but have forgotten to ask…
I have wondered the same thing! And how to do you hear the audio? Each to their own but seems a bit odd to do this. Maybe sitting in a hot bath would make more sense.
I think I’m funny ,but other people might not think so…..😄😄😂😂
I was wondering if any of you or viewers have any advice for a new mother struggling with this role. I was really looking forward to becoming a mother and a homemaker, I thought that this would be perfect for me, but the reality is very different. My baby had some health problems, I ended up pumping my milk which takes a lot of time, my house is a mess, it's difficult to find at least some time to eat and sleep, but I would also need some time for my husband... and I suddenly find myself almost regretting all my decisions. Maybe being a homemaker wasn't for me after all?
I think most moms love particular ages more or less than others. You are at a hard stage right now and health issues make it really hard. Don’t feel badly about not loving this stage. Perhaps you will be the absolute best school mom. Or the favorite teen hangout mom. Personally, I love toddlers and preschoolers. They’re my absolute favorite. Find small ways to take breaks and do things that bring you joy. This will pass!
I loved Dr Dobson’s books for child raising, they saved my sanity back in the day!
Raising 4 back in the day, I always did quiet time. If they slept that was great, if not they had to read quietly!
Hi Ladies, I am turning 43 soon and I did dye my dark brown hair in the recent years (because getting grey) but I was really fed up with it. So in the beginning of this year I chose to give it up. I used to got told, I looked younger a lot in the last years, so I thought, screw it, lets look as old as you are. I live in Germany and am not Mennonite (but christian). I got a few streaks of blond at the hairdresser to blend in the incoming grey better with the dark brown ends. I'll advise anybody with kinda dark hair to not even start dying their hair because the grey comes in slowly naturally. But if you dye, you`ll have a harsh line.
Once again, this granny heard many positives in the episode ! And Jana, I am wowed with your summer project with your boys ! And Meagan, you are and will make a difference, just remember, to do that, try not to be judgmental. God bless both of you❣️ PS: When can we expect the next season to begin❓❓❓❓
Just got back from my yearly trip to Lancaster, PA!
Thanks so much for answering my solo parenting question!!🤗 the 4 course meal alone is also my pet peeve😅 but im also a farmers wife so i shouldve known this would happen frequently lol! Love you ladies and so wonderful to have mommas with similar values and in the same life stage that I can follow!🥰
Megan, you literally do that every week on your channel ❤
Jayna’s disclaimer was PERFECT!!😅
