You're listening to Skalais Sisters, episode number 80.

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, spreading my Charlotte Mason

joy through blog posts, study guides, audios, and more. My co-hosts today are Pam Barnhill,

Abby Wall, and Misty Winkler. Pam is a speaker, podcaster, blogger at pambarnhill.com, and author

of two fabulous books, Better Together, and Plan Your Year.

Abby is basically the queen of the Scholeysisters' sister's sister ship.

Abby is a country-living farmer-rancher, a loving wife and mom of five who homeschools and reads whenever she can.

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.
