You have the control to not continue talking badly and you can either choose to forgive them or, you know, choose not to be friends with them. Those are your choices.

Welcome to Skalae Sisters, the podcast for classical homeschooling mamas, who yearn for something more than just checking boxes and getting it all done.

Scalay Sisters discusses topics that matter to those of us who believe that educating

ourselves through reading widely, thinking deeply, and applying faithfully, equips us for the

I'm your host, Brandy Vensel.

You can come study Charlotte Mason with me over in the Charlotte Mason think tank.

Skolle A sister ship. Abby is a country living farmer, rancher, a loving wife and mom of five who

homeschools and reads whenever she can.
