Great books have the power to change the course of our lives, but it isn't always easy to find the very best books! Our friend at the Yellow House Story Shoppe is working to change that! 

Chelsea Jacobs and her husband, Mark, attended and hosted many Dallas seminars over the last decade as they homeschooled their children. In the last few years, Chelsea opened a book shop offering timeless tales, vintage treasures, and living children's literature. Because reading good books makes every house a home! 

In this episode, you'll hear about: 

• Where to buy living books online or in Dallas, TX
• Curating a collection of books that are tried and true
• How reading the right books at the right time changes your life
• Supporting small businesses that share our love of great books
• Learning to be the expert in homeschooling her children
• How the atmosphere of homeschooling laid a great foundation for Chelsea's children educational success
• Navigating all the options available in the homeschool world
• The value of keeping things simple 
• Finding confidence in following the Holy Spirit's lead in our family life
