BEFORE WE WERE HOMEMAKERS: stories and lessons from growing up in the Mennonite workplace

Today is a nostalgic episode that many of you can relate with! Your first job out of the home! Your first paycheck! Your first promotion or call into the office . . . We could all tell countless stories about our teenagers years and navigating what it means to be employed for the first time, spend and save money, and all the other life lessons one learns when diving into the workplace. But how did that look for us as Mennonites? Today we reminisce about all that, as well as share age appropriate jobs and chores we have our children doing now + react to some of the craziest jobs our listeners have ever had.Thank-you to our sponsors:Voetberg Music Academy:Use our code HOMEMAKER20 to get 20% off every month your family is enrolled, and learn music in a way that sticks.https://www.voetbergmusicacademy.com/Wild: Go to https://shopwildrefill.com/HoneyImHomemaker-5 and use the code HONEYIMHOMEMAKER20 for 20% off of your purchase!!Watch our first 3 seasons: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqdjqwDnpIMx_GhVzCWsT4LF-1EsRhwJm&si=8hmyDW0lI4-yWhQ-Please subscribe!
