  • BETTER TOGETHER: finding accountability in our friendships + earning honesty
    Oct 29 2024

    I think we all know we're better together and that's what today's episode is all about! Jayna started a new challenge with her friends so we talk about that. Plus, we tackle the delicate topic of accountability in friendships. When and how and if you should bring something up. We dive into the Mennonite culture and how we tend to do community well, but it's not a foolproof system. Sometimes, things happen. Even tragic things.

  • Homemaking lessons from our great-great grandma: bootlegging, bankruptcy + church splits oh my!
    Jun 11 2024

    There's no doubt the hunger for Amish romance novels is as strong as ever. But we have a better option for you. Think Laura Ingalls Wilder meets Beverly Lewis. Just kidding! But truely, we've learned so much about homemaking, motherhood, and living the Christian life through a book written about our great-great grandma. Listen in as we discuss Annie's life, lived as a Mennonite through some of the most pivotal events in American history. We learned so much! And the best part--- it's all true! This is the real deal, and the truth is more gripping than the fabricated TLC "Amish show trash." Buckle up, grab your laundry basket or your mending pile. (hee-hee) This is a fun one.

  • Living Life as a Mennonite: quiltings, segregation, forbidden hairstyles + Mennonitisms
    May 20 2024

    We love so many things about our culture, but some things are hard to "get" if you haven't been raised with it. Today we break down some good old fashioned Mennonitisms that may or may not be exlusive to our culture and faith. Join us as we discuss cherished memories, and maybe a few cautions/pitfalls of living life as a Mennonite. Thanks for listening!

  • Please don't make us talk about MODESTY (Yes, we've been avoiding this topic.)
    May 6 2024

    Is modest hottest? Not that we're over here trying to be hot or anything. But join us today for a discussion that we've been putting off for a while. We hope you find encouragment from this chat as we talk about navigating modesty in ourselves, with our children, and why we really weren't all to keen on having this discussion in the first place. We end with a bunch of practical ways to take the clothes you already have and reinvent them into new, fresh,-- and yes, MODEST looks. Hope you enjoy.
