Mystie Winckler married her high school sweetheart, Matt, at nineteen; together they have five children, two of whom are now grown men, but all of whom have been homeschooled from the beginning.
When she’s not teaching, cleaning, cooking, or reading, Mystie publishes articles, podcast episodes, and videos on homemaking cheerfully on her website, Simply Convivial. Her community, Convivial Circle, is a treasure trove of mother-mentors engaged in the work at home to which they’ve been called.
Mystie is also a co-host of Scholé Sisters, a podcast for classical homeschooling moms who are educating themselves while educating their kids.
Whether we’re talking about personal lives, homemaking duties, or homeschooling days, Mystie seeks to return to and live out the motto, Repent. Rejoice. Repeat.

| 0:00.0 | Okay, Misty, well, it's a honor to have you on the podcast today. I've known of you for a long time. I've enjoyed your books for a long time. And I'm excited to talk about a new book that you have coming out. Can you introduce yourself to our audience? I know a lot of our listeners are already familiar with you, but I'm sure there are a few out there that are still curious who you are. And also, what are you currently working on because we're going to dive into that a little more today. |
| 0:22.9 | Yeah, well, thank you so much for having me. that are still curious who you are. And also, what are you currently working on? Because we're |
| 0:20.9 | going to dive into that a little more today. Yeah, well, thank you so much for having me. |
| 0:24.6 | I'm so excited to come talk about it. So my name is Misty Winkler. My husband and I are both |
| 0:30.6 | second generation homeschoolers. We got married at 19, and this year will be our 25th wedding anniversary. So that's super |
| 0:39.9 | exciting. We have five kids and we've homeschooled them all. Three have graduated. We're still |
| 0:47.1 | homeschooling two teenagers and we have two grandbabies. So that's super exciting. |

| 1:05.4 | But it just started, you know, is basically blogging to journal. |
| 1:09.6 | And it kind of just grew and evolved over the years. |
| 1:13.5 | And at one point, I took everything down and started again. |
| 1:18.7 | So like my early motherhood chronicles are not on the internet anymore, probably to my children's |

| 1:43.3 | I was homeschooled. |
| 1:44.9 | And so I thought going into marriage and homemaking, like, I already had it figured out. |
| 1:50.7 | I knew what it was all about. |
| 1:51.9 | It was going to be easy. |
| 1:53.6 | And then it turns out it was not easy. |
| 1:56.2 | And it was really about my own sanctification and needing to kill my own pride and accept the work that God had given me and realize the goodness in that work instead of trying to get out of it. |
