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?

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&#

Spring Cleaning Challenge- Day 21, Shower

I hope you had a wonderful weekend, celebrating Easter with family and friends. This week we will be focusing on the bathrooms. (I hope you don't have very many) Because I'm not getting this post out till late morning you might consider swapping today's task and tomorrow's. If you get up early and have already taken a shower you might not want to clean the shower today. Instead you can jump ahead to tomorrow and clean the shower curtain and liner. Then tomorrow morning when you take a shower you can clean it. Do whatever works best with your schedule. CHALLENGE: Clean you shower(s) till it sparkles. Here is a link back to the post about shower cleaner. It really does work the best; It makes my shower tiles sparkle! I find that taking a shower while cleaning it is the easiest way. If you have multiple showers, you might consider not getting soaking wet every time, or asking a spouse or child to help you. Take a scrub brush to work on grout mold, and a sponge to wipe
