You're listening to Skalais Sisters, episode number 74.

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 over at afterthoughtsblog.net, blogging my thoughts on

Charlotte Mason and homeschooling and hocking my study guides and more in the shop.

My co-hosts today are Misty Winkler and Abby Wall. Misty is a second generation homeschooler

with five kids and too many projects. With her blog, podcast, and membership,

Abby is basically the queen of the Scholar sister's sister ship. Abbey is a country living farmer,

rancher,

a loving wife and mom of five who homeschools

and reads whenever she can.

We have a special treat for you today.
