Join me as I talk about my 25 years of homeschooling with the Charlotte Mason philosophy! Here I share about my experiences and encourage listeners to find joy in the ordinary through applying this method. Having peace in the home is also key to enjoying this way of life and entering into what Charlotte Mason calls "glad and holy living." In these short podcasts, I will guide you on this journey through new introductions to my blog posts and some creative bonus content.
