0:00.0	Right. And I think it's hard to get out of that mindset of this is school time. So this is somehow got to be some academic something or other. But that's not really the purpose of morning time. It's about fostering a love for all of those true good and beautiful things that we have in our world, not necessarily about facts. And while it adds to our knowledge, I don't think
0:22.3	that's the primary purpose of why we do it. Yeah, academic-y, that's a word you made up,
0:27.3	isn't it? Sure is. You know, I'm allowed, right? I'm allowed to do that.
0:37.3	This is your morning basket where we help you bring truth, goodness, and beauty to your homeschool day.
0:48.9	Hi, everyone, and welcome to episode 102 of the Your Morning Basket podcast.
0:55.6	I'm Pam Barnhill, your host, and I am so happy that you are joining me here today.
1:00.6	Well, on today's episode of the podcast, we are answering a question that we get often at Your Morning Basket,
1:06.4	and that is, how do you take a set of morning time plans that might on the surface seem like they
1:12.1	are for a younger group of kids and level them up to be able to use them with a wide range of
1:20.3	ages? So maybe you have just some middle schoolers and high schoolers or maybe you have some
1:25.9	high schoolers, middle schoolers, and some elementary
1:28.1	kids, and you're wondering, how can I take a set of morning time plans, whether that be something
1:32.2	we've created here at your morning basket, or something that you find online, and kind of be
1:38.4	able to include your older kids in this. So joining me on the podcast today, I have the author of our morning time plans,
1:46.9	Jessica Lawton, also a mom of kids from 14 all the way down to age 5. And yes, they do morning
1:53.4	time together. And she's joining me today and we're chatting about exactly how it is that you do
1:59.6	that. How do you make the morning time kind of viable and
2:02.3	interesting for all of your kids from age 5 to 14 or 2 to 20 or whatever the case may be?
2:10.2	So I think you're really going to enjoy this episode of the podcast and you're going to find it
2:13.8	really practical. Now, speaking of morning time plans, if you have never tried out a set
2:20.7	of our morning time plans, we actually have a free set and you can give them a try. If you go to
2:26.3	Pamparnhill.com slash month, you can download what we call our month of morning time plans.
