You're listening to Skalais Sisters, episode number 11.

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.

Today, my co-host is Misty Winkler.

Misty is a second-generation homeschooler with five kids and a love for projects. She writes about

Sisters podcast is brought to you by The Confident Homeschooler.

The Confident Homeschooler is a short, action item-packed resource that will help you to make the most of your homeschool day.

the Latin-centered curriculum? We also bring up the unmentionable, the dangers of taking a

minimalistic approach to life and homeschooling. What can we say? We might have pushed the envelope
