You're listening to Skalais Sisters, episode number 34.

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.

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

Pam Barnhill. Pam is a speaker, podcaster, blogger at pambarnhill.com,

and author of the newly released book Better Together, Strengthen Your Family, Simplify Your

Home School, and Savor the subjects that matter most. Our guest today is Celeste Cruz.

Celeste is the Catholic homeschooling mother of nine children ages 11 and under,

blogger at Joyous Lessons, and one of the hostesses of Charlotte Mason IRL on Instagram.

with prompts and tips so you can declutter your head and move ahead with clarity and peace.
