About the health topic, there's a quote I really like that I try to keep in mind. "I don't eat healthy and exercise because I hate my body and want to change it. I eat healthy and exercise because I love my body and want to take care of it the best I can". (Unfortunately, I have no idea who to credit the quote to. I just saw it somewhere and it has stuck with me.)

Ironically modesty always ends up being more beautiful than intentionally trying to manufacture beauty

The flag hanging side ways drives me nuts. LOL. I enjoy the show though. 😊

Most KZfaqrs seem like they live on a different planet but you guys make me feel right at home. So refreshing, thanks for the videos 🥰

I'm a 54 year old Pentecostal woman and I have found the older I get the more comfortable I become in my own skin. And growing older and accepting those wrinkles and gray hairs are a gift and I've earned them. Embrace the changes God has created are bodies to go through.

PREACH JAYNA!! So much of what she said I have thought and have yet to hear from anyone else in my circle. Especially "health" idolatry in our culture. Great video! 💛

I appreciate that you don't just parrot what the other says, but you each bring some unique perspectives. I would enjoy a part 2 of this because I felt like the 30 minutes flew by. Thoroughly enjoying this series!

Ladies!!!…. I love these chats!! It’s like I’m sitting down with some old friends. Just good genuine authentic conversations… please keep them going. It makes my day…

I love that the two of you aren’t afraid to have tough conversations. Megan , I use to always wear makeup but as I’ve gotten older and now have a teen daughter I try to focus on who she is on the inside, but wanting to look good on the outside is ok too. So she sees me bare faced and with makeup, but kindness, being empathetic , open hearted and humbling I think can make someone absolutely beautiful!

The sound in this video is so much better!! I definitely agree, some people make clean eating an idle. To the point that they won’t eat at a church potluck because it’s not “organic” “natural” etc…

I totally agree with grocery delivery. Especially now with prices so high! My daughter is a single mom of 3 under 6 and works full time in a hospital. She’d be lost without delivery! I love watching you all!

Jayna’s point that your body is temporary and your soul is eternal is exactly what I needed to hear today! I really know this but hearing it was helpful. I have rheumatoid arthritis and it has hit home in the past years that it will permanently impact my life. How many kids I can have, what activities I can do, and taking very careful steps to stay in as good of health as I can. It’s been anxiety provoking. I love your “talk shows”!

I always tell my girls to think how God must feel if we say we don't look pretty .... Because He's the one who created us. So if we try to change our bodies with tons of makeup, or hair dying etc , does God feel glorified? Love your chats! Waiting to see more!

These chats are just the most fun! I’m really enjoying them! 💕

I love the openness of your talks and the comfort you have with the dicomfort of vulnerability and honestly I'm impressed how comfortable you are with topics that were considered taboo in the catholic environment I grew up in and even difficult to be a judgement free conversation when not being a taboo topic. Also I totally feel you on the bra, once you find one that works you just hope you can reorder it for the rest of your life. There's only one kind of shopping I enjoy and that's shopping for fabric. I think that it's important to make little girls feel beautiful to a degree because unfortunately they will hear the opposite very early on because of this odd expectancy to play along with this weird mentality around beauty. Especially when they don't fit with the common expectation, one great thing my parents did was create this safe space for us where our curls were beautiful and our scars were part of our unique canvas, they also taught us to take care of ourselves to be content and comfortable if it made sense to us. It shielded me from a lot of the pressure to fit into this projection put on girls concerning beauty culture, I do freak out about my skin and my hair color though occasionally and had to make the conscious choice to not do a full skin care routine in the middle of the night or just grab the make up cream thingy that's too dark for me anyways whenever I saw a little less amazing skin, I know I'm overly critical but it's like a magnifying lens. I'm fine with being pale and having identyfiable eyebrows and I've gotten fine again with red hair luckily. What always bothered me was this idea of being brave for embracing curls, not thinning thick eyebrows or not wearing make up for example, what's really brave about just being a real person unless there's a culture that doesn't want women looking unique, I even find scars beautiful because it's a trace of the life we we lived on us. I had pictures taken for the family and something felt off and I figured they made me darker first, something I absolutely detest but they just took one of my beauty marks away for no reason other it's something people usually like being taken away and it's considered a flaw. I happen to have a lot of them and I had one taken away for medical reasons but would never want them retouched because they're a part of me like my scars or my eyebrows that suddenly became trendy once. Odd moment when people ask you for the secret for the eyebrows and your reaction can be summed up why would I do anything about my eyebrows, they're just eyebrows. What's really so bad about a scar or beauty mark for people to feel entitled to put concealer on you or cut it out of a picture and shouldn't we have understood the damage that mentality can cause by now? I'm frankly tired of girls being pushed into a marathon they never agreed to take part in in the first place, it should be about taking care of yourself and being comfortable in your own skin and maybe having fun with makeup and fashion. How are they even supposed to build confidence if it's perceived as vain or arrogant often enough to feel great in your own skin even if it's not flawless in the middle of a weird competition they didn't even agree to. I'm reminded of this moment before ballet class where this mom's idea of encouriging her daughter when she felt bad about not being as good yet was to tell her that the other girl was gonna become fat soon and won't be good anymore, she could just have encouraged her to practice because it takes practice to become great at something but this competition was so ingrained already that she had to make it a competition between children.

I think Jayne's tip about the bra is so key! if you can go from fretting about something to not even thinking about it thats amazing! I had a nose job and before I used to hate taking photos with my friends from certain angles, I was super self conscious about the way I smiled/turned etc. and now I dont ever think about it. Its not that I think I now have the most beautiful nose (lol) its just that that insecurity is off my plate and I can focus on what I really care about :)

Very enjoyable! Thanks for the encouragement. Acceptance of our own unique beauty is beautiful! It's such a wonderful feeling to be with woman and have fellowship without feeling them eyeing you and mentally criticizing what they like or don't like about you 💜 Keep the episodes coming!

great episode! I listened to this while cleaning my kitchen. Homemaking can be lonely sometimes and I felt like I was in the room with two of my friends :)

I’m probably the age of both of your ages added together and I wasn’t laughing at you. We have all done things to help a situation or personal dilemma and it turned into a detriment to ourselves. It seems society tells older woman they need to do more to keep or enhance their beauty. Wrinkles, grey hair….are frowned upon. Young or old, beauty comes from within. A serving heart, a grateful heart, a heart that loves God is the most beautiful of all. Thank you both for sharing. You both always have a lot of good ideas and tips.

I AM ABSOLUTELY LOVING THIS LITTLE SET UP WITH YOU TWO!! PLEASE KEEP DOING IT!! And i just realized this is the maker of my fabulous robe!! AND THE BRA!!! I GOT THOSE FROM WALMART AND I LOVE THEM!!

I am older than you both, but always love to hear you talk. Your perspective is different, but so compelling.

Definitely keep these chats coming!

Interesting chats. Taking children along grocery shopping is a valuable learning experience for them to learn how to behave in public.

Jayna I agree with you about the health part from the beginning. Because of course do the best we can but it could become an idol to some . So true!!!

These are so good!! I am blessed to be apart of this channel!💞💞

I love the backdrop! So be you ladies!!! It’s like life, everyone comes to it from a different angle, but the message and purpose is what is important!! ❤️ I gave up trends and daily makeup and went my natural silver grey, long ago. I just turned 50, and feel my appearance is adequate, modest and responsible. That is beautiful, as it is exactly how God made me. That is what I model for my children. And bras are important too!!!! 😆 😉 See you soon! God bless ❤️🙏🏻

Folding my laundry and listening while you mentioned that’s what you hope I’m doing 😂❤️. I love these chats, ladies!

Hi from New Zealand ❤ Absolutely love listening to you ladies talk about Christian living and always feel soo encouraged in the Faith! Praise the Lord 🙏❤

This was my favorite episode of Honey, I'm Homemaker. A special thank you to Megan Fox and Jayna Burkholder.

So I can definitely see what Jayna says about health. I want to eat healthy and exercise but the last year I have had a baby that is sick or in pain constantly and being healthy myself is so far down on my list of priorities. It will come back but right now I don't go jogging and I comfort myself with the bag of cookies on the couch.

I absolutely love this. ❤️❤️ these chats bring me so much joy.

this Is one of my favorite chat videos. health, trends, appearances. such great topics. thank you!

About health you're both right. I personally have 4 chronic illnesses. I live as healthy as I can . I want to be a good steward of my body without being obsessed.

Loving listening to you two talking to each other!

Love when you two girls get together and discuss "being a girl/woman" and it relates to all of us I believe no matter what belief we have. You hit on topics we can all relate to. Love you show and plz keep it up. Even at my age I can relate and reflect on how I grew up and could share stories upon stories, but I would rather listen to you speak to it as my granddaughters are you and some almost your age........ I so relate to it all and you are right on with so much of your conversation. Keep it going............blessings and this is really fun! Love this Megan and your cousin is just a lovely lady ............you both are absolutely so sweet and enduring. Blessings

I never tried the tooth paste thing but almost everything else out there! I had severe acne as a teen and cried too many tears and wasted time mourning over what I wished wasn't my appearance. But it helped me grow. I decided what choice do I have but to embrace life and try to be truly beautiful inside. With time the acne lessoned and I learned to accept my body. Now I have 3 daughters and it was good for me to be reminded to affirm their beauty. Really enjoy these chats!

I've loved makeup since I was a little girl and I've always had it and played with it, but somehow I was always conscientious of never wanting it to hold me to a standard. I never wanted to feel ugly without it, or have people think I look tired or sick without it. I'd much rather pull it out for special occasions where I want to feel extra bright and shiny, otherwise it's just pressure. I also think that anesthetics have an intrinsic good, people enjoy looking at pleasing things and it is uplifting in the right context. I also found your conversation about health to be nuanced. I love listening to you two chat! Please continue this series!

This topic definitely hit home. I didn't grow up with any modest standards (faith was out of the picture) in my family or extended family. It wasn't until my twenties (with five children at the time) and started attending church did I really grasp what modesty really was. Although I have my personal convictions for me and my now seven children on modesty and what that looks like. It can still be such a challenge navigating all the pressures of friends/family that don't have the same convictions.

This is a topic I think about so often… daily, really. So I’m really thankful that y’all touched on it! Beauty, beautification, and those cultural beauty standards can be so tough. We can easily feel lesser, and those insecurities can eat us alive. It’s also really easy to get caught up in comparison, as well as idolizing our outward appearance and our health (like Jayna said). I think one area I sort of disagree with you all on is actually the fact that our bodies will be resurrected one day. But I don’t think that that means we must make them conform to some temporal, earthly standard, nor that our health should become too high of a priority. It all comes down to balance, I think. I’m still working on this, too! You’re not alone in that. It’s being presentable, feminine, and trying to look our best for the sake of glorifying and honoring God. It’s trying to eat foods that fuel our bodies, and staying active to keep them working as well as we can. I agree with you: walking around in potato sacks and not practicing personal hygiene and health routines isn’t going to bring glory to Him! But neither is making our outward appearance an idol and spending all of our time and resources on tanning, toning, and every beauty regimen under the sun. The truth is that we all have stuff to learn here. I so appreciate that you both shared your hearts and experiences. I think this will really help young women who watch your channel. :)

I love these girl talk videos, even though I could probably be your mom! And Jayna, you hit the nail in the head about the bra situation! Love you both. You give the kind of advice (wisdom) that I try to share with my younger co-workers & daughter. Very insightful.

Your videos with Jayne are my favorite! I look forward to these so much!

I’m enjoying the chats ! You two are so interesting!

Due to my hubby's illness and being hospitalized we started grocery delivery and love it. We also use it for my elderly mom. Saves on gas too!

I just discovered your channel and I just love you guys! It's so good to listen to women who have conservative values and are speaking about it. Thank you! ❤️

I love these discussions and hearing different topics.

Loved this episode! Thank you for talking about it and being so open and honest

I love the two of you chatting. I feel like I’m hanging out with some godly girlfriends. I’m old enough to be your mom at 53 but I absolutely love this. I’m going to a Lutheran church but I’m drawn to the Mennonite ways and the head covering. The Lord has been teaching me about it. Thank you ☺️

Great topic. I love these chats. You both are beautiful inside and out! Hope you ladies have a wonderful week. God bless y’all. 😀❤️

I love this! Please keep doing more! It has become my nap time videos while doing laundry and cleaning up! You’re so much better than me about cleaning the kids lol we’re going up with an outside nap time plan or a different blanket when coming inside.

I'm enjoying these videos, and find them very encouraging, I need them right now!! Thanks for being raw and honest about life

I’ve really enjoyed listening to your chat and hear about your perspective. Even though we couldn’t be more different:)- I am a mum of 2 girls (2 and 8) and a full time working corporate lawyer living in Europe:)- but I actually agree with most of your thoughts! Keep it coming:))

I love the home making tips at the beginning! Pleeease continue this series, I love it so so much!

I’m loving the chats!!!

Love your chats, so much fun! I'm looking forward to your next episode!

Well done, ladies!!!

I love what Jayna said about health and it was very good and encouraging for me to hear from another person. I was a very active person, but had to be on total bedrest for pregnancy, then my hormones went wacky, I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, my husband was struggling with mental health and childhood trauma and not in a good place, so while doing all the extra work around the house, I fell off a bucket used as a step stool and tore my knee up bad. So in 2yrs I gained 60lbs and I received a lot of judgement from not only Drs for my weight, but I see and feel the judgement from our society. Thankfully I'm on a better journey toward health and my husband is also. But God has been reminding me again and again that my physical fitness is not where my value lies and often His quiet whisper is the only place I'm hearing that from because sadly our culture (and even within the church) labels someone's value on their weight or outward appearance, and I have felt that heavily in the past couple years. But thank you Jayna for sharing those words here. It was a blessing.

With chronic illness, body positivity often feels out of reach. Body acceptance feels less strenuous? It's just a tool, I do my best with what I was given. I appreciate Megan's perspective that different bodies have different journeys 💗

I’m with Megan on the groceries topic! Going to the supermarket is like freedom to me, I get to get out of the house, and spend some money 😅 About the sign… I guess I got used to it being sideways, but maybe it could the more centered 🤷🏻‍♀️ I love and I’m trying to live by what Jayna briefly said about being the example, deciding to go the opposite way and showing true beauty so people can see how much freedom you can have by not following every “musts” in the beauty word. Ah, can’t wait to see Jayna more relaxed/comfortable on camera! ♥️

You ladies are brilliant! I love your chats. So glad you decided to do this x

Awe man I felt like this episode ended WAY TO FAST. I was like wait they're done already? Can't wait til the next one.

I’d say beauty starts with health. Taking good care of your body to try to stay healthy is beautiful on the inside and outside. Your hair, skin & nails will also thank you.

You are both beautiful young women, on the inside and the out. Jayna is so right good undergarments are key. As the mum of 18yr old twin girls I would suggest that affirmations for ourself and our children will help them have the confidence to be themselves. Loving these vlogs and looking forward to next week x

I absolutely love these chats! I look so forward to them! I hope you will continue to do them!!! I learn so much from you both and also have a lot things to think about after every chat!!!

Love watching y’all’s talks! Super fun and nice to hang out with you both

I am old enough to be both of your grandmother. However I still enjoy listening to your dialogue. No laughing here.

The sight dose not bother me at all. And I love listening to your conversations very motivating and helpful would love it if you posted a new video every Monday

Ahhh I'm enjoying these so much! And for the record, I like the sign hanging sideways 😂

First video I’m watching! Brought to you by This Mama’s House! I always feel like the odd duck when subscribing because I am not able to have babies after my miscarriage a few years ago! I still hold onto hope that maybe a miracle will happen one day but I also hold onto my faith. If this is what was intended than it is something I have to find ways to be thankful for. I still have my faith and I still live by the same principles as well as lifestyle. Very exited to watch more of your content! 💕

I really enjoyed this episode. Thank you ladies !

I absolutely love these videos !!!! I listen to them every time I’m walking thanks so much for all the tips and encouragement

I agree with Jayna’s opinion on health. Some people are obsessed. I am a Christian but not a Mennonite, however I love your show!

Thank you two beautiful ladies for your candid conversation. If more women had your beliefs and confidence, many young girls wouldn't fall for all the social media fakeness

Health is all encompassing. It is a multifaceted thing. And everything is connected.

Megan, I’m right there with you - I ❤️ grocery shopping! I can see how delivery can save money but I feel like going to the store actually saves ME money. I take the time to browse around and often find deals and sales too good to pass up. My local Kroger often discounts produce and meat nearing its best by date, which usually doesn’t show up online. I meal plan and go shopping with a list but find that I often end up adjusting my meals according to what’s on sale. Some homemakers find pleasure in sewing their kids’ clothes or styling their home (respectfully. nothing wrong with either!); I get a thrill out of finding a good bargain on groceries and serving fresh, healthy meals made from scratch to my family:)

I decided a few years ago that what matters is the why. Like my body has a lot more weight to it than it did in my 20s but that's because I have had pregnancies and I'd rather have my babies than less weight. So I decided to just be satisfied and exercise to help my mental and physical endurance or to be able to function better, but I'm not worried about body image. I just figure it is what it is 😊 I can't imagine either one of you being called arrogant! You are both humble and kind💞

Favorite talk show out there! 🙂

Thank you so much for the bra recommendation! I have been struggling to feel confident after having. little one and i knew this was what i needed but there are so many out there i just felt overwhelmed by making the switch back!

Health is very important. All it takes is to be sick and to understand real quick how important it is to be healthy.

You both are mature beyond your years. I love listening to you both. I wish I would have had you to listen to as a 20 something lady. God had truly blessed you both with the gift of blessing others through this podcast. Remain humble and He’ll continue to use you in mighty ways.

Yes! Grocery delivery has been life changer for me too!! Yes save money! Also, when I feel like we need to “get out “ I choose Walmart pick up 😅 works out and kids love it

Love this video!! Nice job ladies. I see nothing on youtube like this. 👍

Jayna bringin the fire 🔥🔥🔥 love it

100% agree with finding a good bra and confidence! Also have good posture!!

loving this series ❤️ So relatable and gives me lots of food for thought! I must be in the minority with the banner position- I like it! Can't wait for the next one ladies

Megan, your toothpaste episode made me laugh out loud 😂 Probably because I had such bad acne during Highschool and I could totally relate to doing something like this. In fact, one time I was a little overzealous with the benzoyl peroxide cream and dotted it ALL over my face. My skin did not like that at all, cause the next morning I woke up with red splotches and my skin started to peel from being SO dry. Yeah, that was a bad idea. Oh my, the things we used to do to quick fix our skin problems, eh? 😉 I learned my lesson. It wasn’t until much later in life that I found out most of worst my breakouts were related to my diet. I was sensitive to dairy and I had no idea! So now, I’m able to keep my breakouts down to a minimum. That’s been so helpful in maintaining my skin health! Anywho, thanks for your videos! I’ve really enjoyed them.

I love these chit chat videos! It feels like I am talking with friends :,)

I dislike grocery shopping. We just started the online pickup, and love it! I love what Jayna said about our bodies are to glorify God. ❤️ I agree 💯

Excellent chat!!!!!!!

I love listening to your chats! Thank you!

I think it is neat you have the name Megan Fox. Your message is so much more valuable than the other one's. 😄

Without good health everything is harder. You are both young still, believe me as you age thing get slower and harder even if you are healthy. Without good health your mind is not clear for the other stuff. Great video ladies.

Really enjoyed the video and chat today. TFS ❤️

loving this series!

And Meagan, your story at the end about the toothpaste warmed my heart- I did the SAME thing when I was a teenager (which was a very long time ago 🤣)… so … there you go… spanning bridges between different ages and cultures. ☺️

I love these! I look forward to listening every week!

The girls are baaack!! Woo- hoo! When you take your kids shopping at the grocery- you tell them they can have one item but they have to hold it until the groceries are all checked out. If they put it down they don’t get it… soooo they have their hands busy. Love Jayna’s dress!! Vanity is something everyone should be aware of within themselves. The fruit may be beautiful on the outside but rotten inside. Which matters more to God?

Loving this show!!!! Please do more than 8 episodes! Thank you for sharing God's Truth!

Hahahaha I love how passionate Jayna got about her bra discovery. And how embarrassed Megan got 😂😂😂 Agnostic from Australia here for the wholesome female homemaking content!

Love Aldi delivery!! I like to grocery shop but I don’t like taking the kids!

Just another perspective - at 22 I suddenly developed interstitial cystitis which can be absolutely debilitating (and it was for me.) Some people even commit suicide over the constant bladder pain, urgency, frequency, and pelvic pressure with no sense of relief. It's like the worst UTI, but no infection, and nothing brings relief. I did everything Western Medicine had to offer. So many rounds of antibiotics, medications that turned to formaldehyde in my body, etc. Ultimately they told me there's no cure for it and I'd be in pain the rest of my life. There were months I couldn't leave the house. Walking was painful. Sometimes I could only sleep squeezing a pillow between my legs, almost blacking out from a sensation I had to pee so bad, but then there was actually nothing. And even if I could go, no sense of relief. I remember thinking, I wouldnt commit suicide but I genuinely can't imagine living the rest of my life like this. I ended up finding a holistic practitioner via an IC Facebook group. Saved up and flew in and out of another state to see him. What ended up helping? Lots of supplements. Like a LOT. And an extremely clean diet. I had yeast overgrowth, leaky gut, and hormones not metabalizing correctly, as well as a few other issues. I had always led a healthy lifestyle and been active, ate partially organic. Part of healing my chronic illness was completely cutting all sugar. Even maple syrup and honey, fruit juice, dried fruit, etc even As a small ingredient in anything. As well as gluten and dairy and a few others things. God, and this regimen healed me of a disease western medicine considers incurable. For the rest of my life I have to stay gluten and refined sugar free and try to eat organic as much as possible as my gut will always have the tendency to become leaky. For me, in order to be useful for the Lord, to have my life back and be able to leave my home, I HAVE to take my health seriously. I saw some comments that said "some people won't eat at a church potluck if its not natural or organic" sometimes there's another side. That might be the only way someone is functional. That might be the only way they can BE healthy and serve God. Let's not judge people who HAVE to keep health at the forefront of their life. The verse isn't saying bodily exercise "only" profits a little. I believe the fact that it's mentioning it at all, proves it IS important. Like, hey, bodily exercise, that profits us. Only a little in comparison to spiritual exercise, but STILL important. We don't want to become like those who believe only the spirit is important. God gave us both a spirit and a body. He himself took on a body, and we will have heavenly bodies. Our bodies matter too. That's why sinning against the body is a sin against God. Hopefully I'm tying my thoughts together in a way that makes sense. ♥️
