You're listening to Scalae Sisters, episode number 21.

Welcome to Scalais Sisters, the podcast for the classical homeschooling mama, who seeks to learn and grow while she's helping her children learn and grow.

Scalae 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, Randy Vensel. You can find me an afterthought. That's my main blog.

And also teaching reading with Bob Books, which is where I keep my line of printable phonics lessons.

You can hear more from me on my other podcast, Aftercast. My co-host today is Misty Winkler.

Misty is a second-generation homeschooler with five kids and too many projects.

She writes about practical classical homeschooling at Simply Convivial and about organizing

attitudes at simplified organization.

This episode is sponsored by the art of homeschooling.

is to have strategies for handling life even when it goes off the rails, because that's actually

when important lessons are learned by all.

In today's episode, Misty and I discuss amusement and entertainment.
