You're listening to Skalais Sisters, episode number 10.

Welcome to Skalais Sisters, the podcast for the classical homeschooling mama,

who seeks to learn and grow while she's helping her children learn and grow.

Scalais Sisters is a casual conversation about topics that matter to those of us in the trenches

of classical homeschooling who yearn for something more than just checking boxes and getting it

all done. I'm your host, Brandy Vensel. You can find me at Afterthoughts, that's my main blog. And also teaching

reading with Bob Books, which is where I keep my line of printable phonics lessons. I have with me

today both of the Scalae sisters, Misty Winkler and Pam Barnhill. Misty is a second-generation

homeschooler with five kids and a love for projects. She writes

about feeding a family at simplified pantry, about homeschooling and homemaking at simply convivial,

and about organizing attitudes at simplified organization. Pam is an author, speaker, blogger at Pam Barnhill.com, and you'll probably

recognize her from her two popular podcasts, homeschool snapshots, and your morning basket.

Plus, she's got a brand new one, and if you haven't caught it yet, it's pretty good. It's called

Homeschool Solutions. This episode is sponsored by Newby

Tuesday, the monthly newsletter for Charlotte Mason enthusiasts. Written with beginners in mind,

Newby Tuesday is deep enough to refresh experienced Charlotte Mason educators as well. Each issue is

devoted to a single topic, some part of Charlotte Mason's

philosophy. There's a letter from the editor and article introducing the philosophical underpinnings,

another article on the practical applications, and then yet another article on transitioning older

students to the concept or practice. It's also packed with a bunch of

resources for further reading around the web in books as well as practical tools for implementation.

Best of all, it's free. So head on over to newbie Tuesday.net. That's N-E-W-B-I-E, Newby-Tuesday.net.
