I remember going up and I was not allowed to call boys at all.

Oh, absolutely not.

Boys could call and my dad would answer the phone.

My dad hilariously one time, three of my friends came over and they were knocking on the door just to come and visit.

They were all boys.

And he hilariously, he was like, there can only be one of you on the porch at one time.

The rest of you need to go to the sidewalk. And he made him go out to the sidewalk while the one was asking me about something.

Welcome to Scalae Sisters, where we are cultivating the maximum number of thinking moms we can.

This is the podcast for classical homeschooling mamas who yearn for something more than just checking boxes and getting it all done.

through reading widely,

thinking deeply, and applying faithfully, equips us for the task of educating our children.
