Summary
Today on the podcast I am joined by Amy Sloan from humilityanddoxology.com and mom of five kids ages 4 to 14. For about the past five years Amy has made memory work a central part of her homeschool day.
In this episode Amy and I discuss how to be consistent with memory work, how you find great pieces to memorize, and practical ways you can make this happen in your home.
We also chat about the debate between memorizing facts versus spending your time memorizing other worthy passages, how to make it work for multiple ages, and even how to deal with attitudes if they arise.

| 1:21.8 | You know, Amy is in the trenches each day with all of her kids and they're working on memory work together. |
| 1:28.6 | So the toddler's on the table, things are going crazy, |
| 1:32.0 | she's got all these kids and all of these differing viewpoints |
| 1:35.1 | and volumes of loudness and all kinds of stuff going on. |
| 1:39.8 | And still she is a champion for memorizing together. |
| 1:44.3 | I think you're going to enjoy this episode of the podcast, |
