Now That We're A Family

We are excited about today’s podcast because we get to do a Q&A! We love being able to do Q&A’s because you guys send in so many questions. It’s just fun to be able to see what you guys are thinking and kind of popcorn these answers.
If you follow us on Instagram and have any questions you would like us to answer, put them in the Q&A box that is in our stories on Mondays! Listen along today as we answer these 19 questions:
1. What are your top 3 favorite weeknight meals?
2. When your kids ask why they are not in kindergarten or school, what is your answer?
3. What is one of your favorite things about being a stay at home mom and what is one of the hardest things?
4. Why do you no longer go to a home church and how does your family feel about this?
5. Do you do anything when your kids lose a tooth?
6. Do you think we are currently in the end times?
7. How do we combat the “never good enough mentality” regarding our idealism and our reality?
8. How does Katie get her reading time in at the park? I’m the mom forever helping my kids.
9. How do you instill confidence in your kids? Leon always looks so confident.
10. When the Bible says “two become one,” what does that mean in terms of sin?
11. What is your responsibility as a spouse when your significant other is sinning?
12. Do you believe in dating apps?
13. Did you ever date long distance? If so, tips please.
14. What are Katie’s intermittent fasting resources for pregnant women?
15. What do your kids do each week when you are recording the podcast?
16. Are you planning on your children going to college?
17. What do the kids do while you nurse the newborn?
18. Does Katie take all the kids out to run errands weekly or does she wait until Elisha is home so she can go alone?
19. Do you have a list of all your winter weather gear?

Mentioned during this video:
- How to deal with unrepentant sinners - Matthew 18:15-17 - “Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.”

225: Time Management, Motherhood, Hospitality // Interview with Megan Fox

Megan Fox is a Mennonite who lives in a very busy area in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Lancaster is full of Mennonite and Amish people. She has 3 kids (ages 5,4 & 1). She has a Youtube channel where she has a lot of homemaking content, shares what life is like in Lancaster County and breaks down some of the misconceptions of the Mennonite lifestyle.
She started her YouTube channel to give people a window into her life. It has grown beyond what she could have imagined. Her hope is that with Megan Fox Unlocked, she can provide some camaraderie and companionship, and create a community of women who value faith, family, and a beautiful but simple life.
Today we are talking about time and home management. This is something that I want to continuing growing in every single year. I am always looking for more inspiration in that area of life in motherhood. Some of the topics we will discuss are: top 3 home management systems, finding time to host and bake and remaining motived when you’re overwhelmed.

227: Real Food, Homeschooling, and Homesteading With @Jill.Winger

Jill Winger is the founder of The Prairie Homestead (one of the first homesteading websites and blogs on the internet), a cornerstone of the modern homesteading movement since 2010. Jill and her family pursue a lifestyle of modern-homesteading on the wide open prairies of Wyoming. They dabble in a variety of small-scale agricultural endeavors including organic gardening, grass-fed beef cattle, home dairying, poultry, and more.
Jill’s practical and authentic style of teaching and storytelling has won the hearts of hundreds of thousands of homesteaders through her best-selling cookbook, across social media, and via her top-ranked Old-Fashioned on Purpose podcast. She blogs at The Prairie Homestead where she encourages others to return to their roots, no matter where they live. She is passionate about helping people recapture old-fashioned skills that have been lost in our push towards progress and helping them find the purpose and meaning that comes from that.
Listen today as we talk about where you start with homesteading, the most important old fashioned skills, homeschooling alongside homesteading, and more. You can connect and follow Jill Winger through the links below:
