10 MOMS share greatest JOYS, DIFFICULTIES & ADVICE - Mother's Day Celebration!

Your mom's voice is so gentle, and her words so wise. This was the best vlog in a long time. It's tied with the cow parade.😊

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you! Sir truly is a gem

[@thelmawall-butler6663]

Jeanine - you knocked the ball right out of the park - home run!! This video was nothing but absolutely beautiful and perfect for Mother’s Day!!! I was smiling and even got teary eyed at the beautiful sentiments expressed by your “moms”! May your viewership/subscriptions soar!!! (I am sharing this with all my friends &family!! ). Great to see Meghan Fox (she is my other favorite Mom - especially when Honey I’m Homemaker series with Jayna B.). So wonderful and refreshing after watching other mom videos that focus on the newest, most organized houses with free furniture & “stuff” from sponsors. Please keep doing what you are doing! ❤ you for it!!!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Aww thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed as I really enjoyed all the chats I had with these lovely ladies. Thanks for sharing and supporting us! It means so much and happy mothers day!

[@marialaguer4871]

Where do all of these ladies congregate? Such lovely women. We need more ladies like this around. ❤

I did not eat or drink enough for nursing…I realized that later after seeing what my sister-in-law did to nurse….but, formula kept my child alive🙌🏻🙌🏻 thanks be to God!!

[@JessicaCarnahan-vt8mz]

I have my first daughter, born sleeping, is up in heaven, I also have three sons and one daughter here earthside. My second son has blessed me with two grandson and two granddaughters- I thought being a Mama was awesome- being a Gigi- a whole new love!!❤

[@thesimplelifewife3]

I loved when your older friend talked about being so distressed about having to give formula, but then it worked out fine. What she needed was rest to produce more milk. I can totally relate with my first child! And there's something so emotional about not being able to feed your baby what they need in the moment. I would tell new moms it's ok if you need to give a little formula.

[@vickicarlson553]

I am a 72 year old mom and grandma. I listened to your sweet mother and mother in law and I feel that they have spot on advice and words of wisdom that I would have given you myself! 💕

[@theMennoniteMom]

So good to hear! That are a real blessing

[@pamelagay3303]

Yes I am also 72. And I have been a mother for 50 years. And being an RN. Was very helpful to me

[@mary-annemarnham912]

This bought back so many memories! One that really stands out though was how so many people told me that I’d be shocked by how much I would love my children. The real surprise came for me when I came home with groceries one day and our eldest looked at me and all I saw was love from him. It honestly took my breath away! I cried, so then he cried and my poor husband was trying to work out what was wrong when, really, everything was right! It was the same with our second son - pure love. Would you believe I still sometimes see that look in their eyes and they’re 26 and 33 years old. Motherhood, what a blessing!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Aww what a beautiful story! thank you so much for sharing that. Happy Mother day to you!

Thanks for including me in this video. Of course, in hindsight, I wish I would have added so much more details to my answers but that’s how it is. I enjoyed listening to all the great advice!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thanks for coming on! It was great as always!

[@treenybeenie]

As a first time mom to an almost one year old, it was so good and encouraging to hear from other more “seasoned” moms☺️

[@lindahill9362]

This was one of my favorite videos - EVER! Not that you asked, but the one thing I learned as a Mom, is to always trust your instinct, it will never fail you. Like your sister-in-law stated, books and advice from others are beneficial, however if it doesn't feel right to you, then no guilt in choosing another way. I vividly recall with my first "Don't hold him too much" was the mantra, and I remember looking at him as a newborn, aching to hold him, but heeding the "advice". He's 30 now, and thankfully well adjusted - LOL, but that is something that I truly regret. With my second, I trusted my instinct over well meaning advice, and life was oh so much better, because I was more calm and tuned out all the "noise." Thank you Jeanine and all the wonderful women in this video! Blessings!

[@theMennoniteMom]

I'm sorry to hear 😪 yes I truly am!

[@saltyanchorfarm]

As a mom of 4 with an 18 yr old I couldn't agree more with the enjoy the moments and relax. I spent so much time worried about keeping a spotless home and chasing side hustles to help contribute to the household (my own doing, not my husbands) that I didn't allow myself to soak in the younger years. They were gone in a blink of an eye and I miss them terribly. Happy Mother's day!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thanks for speaking into that. I can so relate and keep trying to remind myself of that And pull back the reigns

[@susannolt1967]

This is beautiful! My sister-in-law just commented recently about giving the gift of nurture to their new foster baby. For optimal brain development in the baby's first year, the gift of nurture is the most important thing. A child who is given the gift of nurture in the first year will still be doing better at 12 - 14 years old than a child who was not nurtured. Why don't we learn this kind of thing in how-to-be-a-good-mom books? May God bless all of you women who nurture the little people in your lives, whether you are their mother or not.

[@theMennoniteMom]

So interesting! Thank you for sharing!

Great format with all the little interview snippets answering the same question! May I ask what you said in the outtake that made your mom laugh so hard? I confess I replayed it at .75 speed then .5 then .25 trying to figure it out, and then read thru the comments to to make sure you didn't already answer! 🤭🙈

[@theMennoniteMom]

😆 it wasn't very obvious sorry. I just kept it for the laugh. I said, and now we are all done. She was pretty nervous so I told her to tell me what she's thinning of saying before we start. And then she was relaxed and I was videoimg already 😆. So I recorded without her really knowing

[@nataliestephens9909]

Happy Mother's Day To You and all the Mom's out there! 🥰 My best advice I always give is don't try to always be perfect because we all mess up a time or two. It's not the end of the world you just strive to be better the next day. 😍

Maybe some mother/daughter talks, memories of home etc. Your mom looks like a ball of fun and yet full of good wisdom. Your laughs together are so infectious!! I find myself laughing hysterically right along with you😂 love it!! Also, I would love to hear an interview with your MIL...from the little bit you have talked about her and had her on your channel, she is an amazing woman. As an adoptive mom, I would love to hear some words of wisdom from an older adoptive mom-esp one who adopted at a later stage in life. Just some suggestions in case you were needing any more ideas 😉 Love watching your videos and being challenged and inspired with your chats. Keep up the good work!

[@karenswartz8280]

Loved this. I think it’s imported for moms to ask these questions of themselves, or talk about them. Because I think it brings a certain level of self-awareness that gives you pause to reflect on maybe where you’re flourishing as a mom, and ways you can improve, 20:02 hopefully without being too judgmental with yourself. The point about surrounding yourself with “your people”, ie: other moms, is a good one to consider. And I think it can help you give voice to those questions and feelings you hold in your heart but are maybe reluctant to talk about , and then you find out other moms think and feel the same way, and then you realize you’re not alone in this beautiful, messy, confusing, but joyous job of motherhood. BTW, I’m not a mother, just an aunt with a mother’s heart, I guess you’d say, who’s has lots of nieces and nephews to love on and observe! Happy Mother’s Day to you all.
