You're listening to Skalais Sisters, episode number 78.

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 Venzel.

You can find me over at afterthoughtsblog.net, spreading my Charlotte Mason

Joy through blog posts, study guides, audios, and more. My co-host today is Misty Winkler.

Misty is a second-generation homeschooler with five kids and too many projects. With her blog,

podcast, and membership, she helps you organize your attitude so you can organize your life.
