My Top 5 Home Education Podcasts


I'm a huge podcast junky. When I find a podcast I love I start with episode #1 and work through it's entirety. I listen in the car, while washing dishes, hoeing the garden, or doing a puzzle. There are so many opportunities to multitask appropriately. Here is a list of my favorite home education podcasts.


#1 Read-Aloud Revival
I name this site often, because it is a wonderful place full of commraderie, good books, laughter, and things you won't find anywhere else. The podcast is amazing and I've listened to every single episode (over 100) and a few of them I've listened to more than once. Sarah Mackenzie is a bubbly and delightful person and her website and premium membership site are worth every bit of time you spend there.
What is it about? 
Sarah Mackenzie is a homeschool mom to six and a lover of books. This podcast gives amazing book recommendations for all ages and often has interviews with living authors. You get to see inside the writing process, where ideas come from, hear about authors pets, new books that are being released, and so much more.


#2 A Delectable Education
This podcast is all about the Charlotte Mason method of teaching. It is hosted by Liz Cottrill, Emily Kiser, and Nicole Williams; these ladies are soft spoken, intelligent, and inspiring. At first I was confused by there podcast, but was intrigued enough with the CM method that I kept coming back and trying again. After reading lots about CM and looking into starting her methods for school this year, I am now fully immersed in this podcast and have just recently started working my way through all avails episodes.


#3 The Mason Jar
Hosted by Cindy Rollins author of Mere Motherhood, this podcast is touch and go for me. It's full of lovely information, but not all relevant or to my taste. Cindy has a pleasant voice, years of experience in the homeschool world, and often has great advice or inspiring guests. I also really enjoy the Mere Motherhood FB group.



#4 Your Morning Basket
Keep your volume down when you start this one or the rooster will scare you right off the road! Pam Barnhill is a great friend of Sarah Mackenzie (at the Read-Aloud Revival) but has very different strengths. This particular podcast focuses on ideas for "morning time", a CM style segment of school. There are some great ideas and lovely guests who appear on her show. I know Pam Barnhill's website features much more than just morning time, she might also have other podcasts, and she has written a book or two as well.



#5 Nature Guys
I've actually only listened to a couple of their podcasts, but they are super funny and informative about nature. I learned all about the starling bird, and spring peeper frogs. This is a great podcast to include the kids on.

To listen to these podcasts use your podcast app and search for the desired podcast then choose subscribe to keep all of the latest episodes available on your phone.

What are your favorite homeschool podcasts? Do you listen to any of these?

How to Make Your Apartment More Homey - Part 5

Welcome to part 5 of my mini series "How to Make Your Apartment More Homey". Once you get a grasp on the first four topics you've really got something going for you. These last two steps are definitely not the meat of the problem.  Today we will focus on - The Color Palette. A little bit of color theory wouldn't hurt anyone. I realize that we are alway feeling the need to try something new and be a little different. It's called fashion, and that's okay. Be different! Make a statement! It's good to try something new. But if it's ugly just say so, don't lie to save your pride. Your pride has already been painted all over that new yellow couch!  You can google a basic color wheel and the different ways to pair the colors or most people have an eye for what looks good together. It's usually a good thing to stick with the same hue (bold with bold, or pastels with pastels, and burnt colors with burnt colors) but even that isn't alwa...

42 Questions To Ask Your Spouse On Valentine's Day

If you and your spouse were on the Newlywed game show... would you win? My husband and I are going to a couple's retreat next month and decided to get a head start on it by brushing up on our newlywed gameshow questions. We actually did pretty well the first time through, but we keep giving each other pop quizzes to keep the answers fresh in our minds. Below I've made a list of common couples questions that you and your spouse might find fun to ask each other. 1) What is your spouse's all time favorite movie? 2) What would your spouse request as their "last meal"? 3) What is your spouse's favorite pastime? 4) What percentage of housework would your husband say he does? 5) What flavor of cake did you have at your wedding? 6) What is your spouse's ideal date night? 7) Excluding people, what would your spouse say is their most prized possession? 8) At what specific sport or game will you wife say she is better than you? 9) What is your spouse...

2025 Reading Challenge

 Today Rural Simplicity is bringing you a Reading Challenge for the new year!  25 Books in 2025.      This is a very personalized list that came about when my favorite reading challenge people didn't put out a reading challenge for next year. I plopped myself down in front of my large TBR (to be read) stack and started making a list of categories.       I am going to walk you through my list in comparison to my TBR stack to give you an idea of where you could start. But like any good reading challenge you will nudge it this way and that to fit your needs and lifestyle. One thing I would not recommend is  fitting it to your likes.  One point of a reading challenge is to broaden your perspective and get you out of your comfort zone. One last point to address is that it's okay to not finish the challenge by December 31st. Again your goal is to read, not finish, or rush, or stress out. Just read and enjoy. Let it soak in slowly and cons...
