Welcome to a delectable education, the podcast that spreads the feast of the Charlotte Mason Method.

I'm Emily Kaiser. In today's episode is part of our occasional series, Voices from the Conference.

As you probably know by now, we at a delectable education host a virtual conference in February of each year,

hopefully bringing some inspiration and encouragement to what is notoriously a dark stretch

in the homeschooling year, at least for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. A few years ago,

a worldwide pandemic forced us to move to the online format, and we discovered some benefits we

wouldn't have otherwise. Not only are Charlotte Mason educators from all over the world able to join us due to the

virtual platform, so many have personally written to share how they wouldn't ever be able to get

away for a conference or retreat except online. We are so grateful to have the opportunity to pour

into broader Charlotte Mason community in this way. However, we know that many are

still not able to participate, and even those who do always long for something more, and that

brings us to the voices from the conference series. We use these episodes to highlight one of the

speakers or ideas that came out in last year's conference. We hope you enjoy this little taste of conference

and getting to know one of the speakers. We would love to have you join us at the next

ADE at home conference in February. Do you find yourself lagging each year when February rolls around?

That's why we scheduled the ADE at home virtual conference for the first weekend in February

each year.

We hope you can join us this year for some fresh inspiration to finish the school year well.

Today, Kathy McKay will be sharing her plenary talk, distinguished difficulties with us.

Enjoy.

Music with us. Enjoy. Well, hello. I'm Kathy McKay. Welcome to my library. My library is in my backyard,

and my backyard is in Australia. I share this with my husband,
