I think with the ability to parade our best moments in front of whoever wants to follow us,

there's this idea that everything has to be the best.

And sometimes it just needs to be ordinary and you need to have a string of ordinary days consistently done.

And your children look back and think, wow, I just have great memories of dinner.

Yes. And they may not remember a particular dinner. And the same just have great memories of dinner. Yes.

And they may not remember a particular dinner.

And the same thing would be true for education.

You get to the end of a year.

And if you've consistently done math, well, you've learned a lot of math.

Welcome to Scalae 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 Venzel.

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 is Abby Wall. Abby is basically the queen of

the Scholar sister ship. Abby is a country-living farmer, rancher, a loving wife and mama five who

homeschools and reads whenever she can. Memory is an essential ingredient in our homeschools. We homeschool moms worry

if we're doing it right, if we're doing it enough, if it's going to work at all. Want

to sort out your ideas about memory and education? Come to the Scholley Sisters Retreat,

Homeschool Essentials, Memory. And rest assured that no matter how imperfect our efforts, they are all worthwhile.
