Mennonite Mom Chat: LIFE LATELY, the end of an era + the husbands on the show | Honey I'm Homemaker

[@denisewreford121]

Wow Jayna’s chemistry with her husband is electric! Off the charts!

[@letthewordspeakministries888]

I love the husband part , please have them on more often. Tell them they did a great job!

[@erinhill9408]

Early childhood educator here! There’s so much pressure on kids to be able to read sooo young. Knowing all your letters and numbers and all those academics before starting school is not the most important thing we look for in determining if they’re ready. If they know a little, that’s good and well, but it’s FAR more important at that age to be able to meet those gross motor and social developmental milestones. The work of early childhood is play - I promise, the academics will come in time 🙂

[@megs.9915]

Josh coming in with the right answer: as long as the house isn't falling down and nobody's going hungry, who cares about perfection! That's my motto these days.

[@mommared6713]

My children go to a private Christian school and we’ve made many sacrifices to keep them there. Such a blessing to see my children flourish and grow as amazing kids!! I’ve LOVED these girl chats! Going to miss you girls!! Looking forward to the new season.

[@pk104mlb]

PLEASE!!!! Keep this series going.

[@lynnlong860]

Love Josh’s answers😂😂😂 an honest man who we ALL can see LOVES his family

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

He's the best!

[@lorifew9851]

I love y'all! It is like sitting in a room with friends. Please keep doing this. It is great and so relatable.

[@peggymartin3209]

Love love love Mennonite Mom Chat!! 👍 for Josh, and so happy to have met Jayna's husband!

[@sarahjones6858]

Yes! Hi Eric! I met Josh on the other channel. 😊

[@briannayoung12]

You ladies are the best! It's a highlight of my week to have you to listen to as I do housework :) I feel like we could be real life friends which is partly why I think I love listening to your podcast so much! Thanks for putting uplifting content out into the world!

[@SimpleZulema]

The audio is SOOO much better! I enjoyed this so much and would much rather have your sit-down videos. I listen to them while I clean my house so it's nice not having to worry about watching the video. Thanks for taking the time to create these and I'm looking forward to next season!

[@cyberbren8198]

I'm older than you two, and in a different season of life, but I still really enjoyed this series.

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

So glad you can get something out of it!

[@janh519]

I really enjoy each of your videos! I’m probably the oldest follower you have...wouldn’t be at all surprised if I am! I don’t feel old, though! Ha! I love seeing your sweet children, the meals you are preparing, and also “going” on walks and camping trips with your family! You’re the sweetest family and you do so many fun things with your adorable children and they have wonderful times! May God bless each of you! 🙏😘

[@kathymccune2679]

Soo enjoy your interaction and have always been an admirer of the Mennonite community. It's truly what all Christian denominations are called to be . Thank you sincerely.

[@jessicaraush2332]

Not a Mennonite but love that we can send to a Mennonite school. It's the closest Christian school we have and love it! Thanks so much for this series! So glad I could watch it on the day of release this time

[@kate_700]

This is wonderful information! My family is Christian but not Mennonite (although, love our Mennonite brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ!). I didn’t know we could also send our children to a Mennonite school? I would love to do that!!

[@jessicaraush2332]

@@kate_700 check with your local school. Our local Mennonite School accepts those of all denominations. (Not every school may)

[@SD-qu8vp]

Already counting the days til October!! Are we there yet??? Jayna you are doing great!! And nice to meet your husband as well.

[@andreabrooks2989]

I'm not a Mennonite, but I am a Christian and a mom. I love listening to and learning from you two! Your personalities are infectious!

[@76monikaW]

I have NEVER spoken to or interacted with a Mennonite so this is super interesting. This is so neat to hear whAt your life is like. You ladies are so fun and I pray blessings on you and your families.

[@jaynaburkholder1507]

Im glad you're here!

[@mrsru2010]

Oh my goodness! This one had me laughing at the end. I’m already looking forward to October. Also, can I please be friends with Jayna? She is so fun & sweet!😍

[@carolyndymond4065]

Jayna should have her own channel.

[@hiitsyuliya]

I love this series! I’m not a Mennonite but we’re from the Slavic baptist community and we have so many things in common! I’m the oldest of 4 sisters and always wanted an older sister and I feel like you guys are my online older sisters haha. Please continue this series! One of my favorite things to listen to while cooking dinner ☺️💕💕💕

[@landymohler3006]

“Hopefully my head doesnt get to big”- jayna You make me laugh! You girls are so real and I love it! We moved to Holmes Cty area 2 wks ago and my boys attend a Christian school (Mennonite?) too and we are loving it. My 6 yr old was reciting his memory vs at supper last night and i teared up.

[@gigib4076]

OMGosh this episode was perfection! You both are so relaxed and the conversations just flowed naturally!!! Bravo! Great job on the mic set/up Josh👏🏻👏🏻

[@AllieBoBalliee]

Loved Mennonite Mom Chat, you are both so relaxed and always find things that are interesting to listen to

[@hmes87]

I used Jayna's tip for getting baking paper to lie flat on the tray this evening, and it worked! I couldn't believe it because it's such a weird thing to do, and my husband thought I was screwing it up to throw it away, haha! Thank you for your lovely chats, it's lovely to feeling like I'm spending a bit of girl time with you both :) Enjoy your breaks! xx

[@river_walker]

That parment paper crumble - thats how I fold my fitted sheets! 😂😂😂

[@semajfranks2114]

Too funny!:D

[@spunkycat6144]

Funniest comment on KZbin. I have a blanket that is still in my car from the laundry mat folded like that right now.

[@AngiDas]

I love this series so much and I do hope it comes back in October because it is comforting to another mother.

[@sabrinaschmitz6938]

Thank you so much for the comments about vacation not really being vacation for the mom. I'm a new mom (in the process of adopting a 2-year old). Just thinking about going on vacation feels overwhelming. We're going away for the weekend this coming weekend. I will be sure to keep expectations low and nap schedules as close to normal as possible!

[@laurenalcala4253]

This was a great chat. Love meeting Jayna's husband. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a good month off and we'll see you in October!!

[@susannagiesey9657]

You both play off each other so well. You keep it interesting. I enjoy just hanging out, washing dishes and listening. Adding the questions with your husbands was so fun! This is wholesome and enjoyable.

[@Moonbeams_SweetDreams]

This is such a cute series! Glad we got to meet the husbands. 2 great couples!

[@allisonkershaw9835]

My favorite use for the brown paper is to use it as a table runner for the month of November. I put out a cup full of markers and each day encourage my family to draw some thing they are thankful for. By Thanksgiving it is full of lots of fun pictures and reminders of all that we are blessed with.

[@missloretta]

This is literally my favorite show ever right now. It's amazing how far being yourself goes. 😁

[@rach28ism]

Such a good chat!! Josh is adorable trying to answer correctly 😂😂 you guys are CUTE

[@lisahartman8416]

My mom was a single Mennonite mom who worked hard to keep me in Christian school, dentist, glasses & a summer trip on a regular basis! When our family was young our main vacation, since we live in Canada, was always having to go to the States to visit family in Michigan & Penn. We didn't really have money or time to go off to a destination of our choice. But we did have fun camping! I found when starting our kids off to school both of the girls at age 5-6 did well & our boys started age 6-7. I said I was never going to homeschool! Never say never! I had 5 nevers & have done 4 of them! It was out of necessity. & I did it for 8 years. Enjoy your families while they're home. Them starting school is just the 1st step in leaving the nest & moving on as we hope & train them to. now we take the motorhome & have mini vacation weekends with 2-me & my man! Good job to both you ladies & for the good mike setup.

[@kate_700]

I loved the husbands’ guest appearances! I loved hearing their perspectives. You both have great men - Praise God for men who love Jesus and prioritize their families!

[@reanabrand8283]

I totally agree with Jayna .. the thought of any home improvement instills terror in my heart!

[@jamieritter1239]

I can’t wait for October!!! I clicked so fast once I saw the video go live. Thank you ladies!! Keep up the awesome Work! Loved see the husbands this time too.

[@cindykaye3152]

Oh, and Eric did a great job, Josh's mic setup is 🔥 & it would be fun to have the guys on again. Their daddy & hubby insights are nice to hear, too!!!

[@jennifersmith9764]

Thank you for sharing and look forward to you continuing the series. Also the husbands were great, Josh is very wise.

[@jennifermaley9589]

I look so forward to watching these! I can not wait till you come back! I absolutely love both of you and am so encouraged everytime! You're husbands are amazing and I love how they support you!

[@pattyesch9549]

You guys are awesome! Loved seeing the dads!

[@karleeyoung8967]

Please keep this series going! I love the chats and homemaking/motherhood tips and tricks!

[@margaretqueenofscots9450]

Jayna, your husband is really chill! I enjoyed seeing you guys interact. Great job and looking forward to more episodes later!

[@TeresaBranham]

I love this series and can’t wait to see more after your break!! You both are truly amazing to watch and even though my kids are grown and have children of their own I get a lot of ideas for things to do with my grandchildren and tons of ideas to share with my kids. Have a great break and I’m looking forward to the next one!!

[@wilmjo92]

Love,love these episodes! Keep it up! Joanna

[@itsrebb89]

Good morning ladies! I love watching your show and i just enjoy watching you online. I am definitely in a different season of life with my two daughters around your ages. My husband of 34 years had some serious health challenges, so I care for him while working outside my home full time. My show suggestion would be if your Moms would agree to appear on your show and I would be curious about their season of life and how their daily routines are. Just a suggestion, but one I'd love to hear their stories! Thanks you guys for keeping it real and sharing your lives with us! You both are doing a fantastic job!

[@trelainamobley6254]

Oh, Jayna! I loved your comment about home renovations making you want to throw up in your mouth! 😂 The results of home renovations can be wonderful but the process certainly can be stressful and overwhelming. Love you two Ladies!

[@DiannaBarbee]

I love Jayna.....I would totally watch her KZbin channel! I love you too Megan! Also, I am retired, sold my house and live and travel in my RV. Nice way to visit my children and grandchildren and still get to sleep in my own bed everynight!!

[@gabriellemanier2223]

Megan your husband's answer was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying laughing!

[@Raising_Arrowsx5]

We are a huge camping family. We love it! Yes it is a lot of work but I just try to make it as memorable as I can so that the kids will always remember how fun it was. It does get easier and more fun as the kids get older.

[@cristinamartinez1235]

Thank you so much for improving the quality of the audio!

[@taraweathers1606]

Another fun one!! Thanks so much. I am praying for the kiddos as they start school. And for you moms.

[@hoosierlady3085]

I love listening to you ladies. I worked as the School Librarian at my kids Christian School to pay for their tuition. At their school each family either donated X number of hours volunteering or equivalent amount of money. I'm so thankful to be able to be able to pay for their schooling in this way. Blessings!!! Josh thumbs up!

[@jaynaburkholder1507]

That's awesome. I volunteer too, but it doesn't count towards tuition 😕

[@LittleValleyAcresFarm]

I’m so glad y’all are going to do more episodes. I love these videos. I’m a mom so I understand worrying about my kiddo while he is at school. Hoping he’s being good and not getting hurt. Hoping people understand that he is different in his own special way and can handle that. Can’t wait till October….

[@dnai2337]

The clips with the hubbies!! So entertaining to include them too.

[@JustJillianLinnea]

As a homeschooling mom I am definitely envious of not being able to afford a Christian/Mennonite school. Plus the options of those schools in my province in Canada are not very great, thankfully we’ve been thriving in homeschooling so far!

[@abbyw6830]

Awe love it! You ladies are so sweet! I look forward to the fall series!

[@jaimeg.3012]

When my son was in school I let him pick our vacation each year. He would pick the state we went to visit and then I would plan some activities for us to do while we were there. We had a blast and he got to see most of the US. The only state we didn't make it to that is still on our bucket list is Alaska.

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Wow! It is such a blessing to be able to travel this much!

[@jaimeg.3012]

Yes it was! We only did one big vacation per year but it was so worth the memories we made.

[@mackcappel844]

Ladies, love the chemistry , do a out about town shopping video. The boutiques and stuff in Lancaster. Megan you did one awhile back and it was great, having one with both of you….. Columbus Ohio here and my better half and I are planning on coming out October , can’t wait!

[@lmmartin959]

Great format! Loved having the guys included. Don't worry about the mics so much -- touching and adjusting. That is distracting and that also makes little noises that sound like popping. Just relax and have fun. That's the best part!! Looking forward to Oct.!

My favorite vacation is the one we just took with our 3 kids to Branson, MO! It was our first time to go there and all the other kids are back in school, so it wasn’t super busy. It was very relaxing.

What a fun episode. The husband questions were great. Great job on the technical set up Josh, hope you get more sloppy Joe's as a benefit, Wonderful video by all. God bless.

I think I hear another Texan. Howdy.

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

About the mic setup: I think it could help for the acoustics maybe to push them a teeny tiny bit lower /not so close to the mouth. This way the sounds are less harsh/sharp (?). :) Great episode, as always! ♡

[@ellenchapman9981]

Never thought about crinkling parchment paper - great tip! Eric did great!

We kept an overnight bag packed in the trunk of our car so if we wanted a quick overnight trip, we could go without too much fuss! Sometimes we would leave on a Friday afternoon, pick a direction…and drive…and end up with a little adventure. As our boys got older, a large blanket in the trunk was all we needed…Sometimes a McDonalds play place was enough of an outing after being cooped up in the house all day! McDonalds has good coffee too!

We have 2 adult kids and our son is getting married in a few weeks....we are going tent camping for 7 nights with the kids and their fiance's next week. I'm not a huge fan of tent camping, but my husband loves it and we are investing so much time in our kids when we do that!

[@morgantowne8586]

I'm a mennonite in Lancaster too!! I would add to the conversation that there is wide variation among mennonites....in my church and conference, college education is much more common than not. It's really hard to pin down us Anabaptists with wide generalizations! My life has similarities to you both, but big differences too. And Megan, I saw you're reading A Year of Biblibal Womanhood by RHE....LOVE her and her thoughts....and curious what you thought. Her book Inspired (about Biblibal inspiration) has helped me tremendously through faith difficulties. I would think her positions are very different than those of your congregation.

[@TheLokoki]

Hello there ! Absolutely love this serie !! I am amazed at how your believes regarding family values are close to mine as a Roman Catholic in western Europe ! Very interesting and heartwarming to hear you two talk , so thank you ladies ❤️

[@sherriholcombe5428]

I love these Honey I'm Homemaker videos! You and Jana are so fun to watch and have such wisdom to share.I wish I could homeschool my children or found a true Christian school that didn't cost a fortune. My two younger daughters did attend a private Christian school but it was expensive.. I really regret them going to public school.😔 I pray over them and for them each day and trust God to protect them from all the agendas being pushed on them...I especially loved the part with your husbands on today's video..👍to Josh for the sound set-up. He did a great job...I look forward to these videos-October can't get here soon enough.😊💖..I'm not a Mennonite, but I'm a Christian and love the way you live out your convictions to live a life that honors God and how you enjoy your roles as wives and mothers. So many Christian ladies buy into the feminist propaganda and don't appreciate their God-given roles as wives and mothers. It's really sad.The nuclear family is under attack in so many ways. It's nice to see family the way God intended.😊

My daughter just started 1st grade a couple of weeks ago, she’s still 5 (for the rest of this week) it was so heavy on my heart starting her so young, but her birthday is the cutoff day and her Dad was confident she would rise to the occasion, so I trusted his judgment. So far so good 👏🏼👏🏼

Our kids are older - 15 and almost 9. We just spent a week in a cabin at the KOA in Billings, Montana. It was great. Highly recommend. We made the trek the Yellowstone one of the days, but there is a ton to do in the general area, including the Battle of Little Bighorn, which is a MUST. And stop at the trading post at the end for an Indian Taco!
