Today's episode isn't about homeschooling, unless you count the fact that it's part of my series, The Low-Energy Mom's Guide to Homeschooling. Life continues, even though we're homeschooling, and sometimes life gets ugly. Let's talk about why that is. To access the posts and show notes for this podcast, click here.

EP 11: Far as the Curse is Found (Suffering and Holiness)

For many years now, Afterthoughts has been a sort of intellectual watering hole for classical, Charlotte Mason homeschooling mamas. At Afterthoughts, we have spent over a decade nourishing our minds on theology, educational philosophy, and a million other books and subjects thrown in – all the while bringing these ideas into a direct collision course with our daily lives. As an audio companion, this podcast is a chance to hear Afterthoughts blog posts rather than read them. Couple that with some bonus content focused on books and interviews, and you’ve got AfterCast.

Today is the FINAL installment of this Learning How to Live Series -- which makes this the END of Season 4! What I tried to do, and hope I accomplished, was take the categories we’ve been discussing these past few weeks and show how they play out in my own life – not because the way I do it is the one right way, but simply because it’s always useful to have an example of how this might work. I hope you find it helpful as we look at different ways to learn in the midst of busy days! Thank you for joining me this season.

EP 35: How She Learns: My Personal Continuing Education Journey

Today is NOT just a review. Yes, we walk through everything we’ve learned over this huge series and remind ourselves of the amazingly numerous possibilities. But the point isn’t the review – the point is to think of these as categories and then discover what similar options exist for us today. I think you’ll find some real gems to help keep you learning in the midst of your busy days. *** To access the posts and show notes for this podcast, click here. To support the show, click here.

EP 34: A Mama’s Continuing Education: Oh, the Endless Possibilities!

Today we begin to end our Learning How to Live series. We’re heading toward application. Before we get too practical, we need to discuss the WHY. Why keep learning? There are some good reasons to learn and some bad or insufficient reasons to learn, and it takes wisdom to know the difference. Listen up for an exploration of the heart of self-education. *** To access the posts and show notes for this podcast, click here. To support the show, click here. Find Brandy on Facebook.

EP 33: Becoming a Charlotte Mason Teacher in a Utilitarian World

Today we continue with our Learning How to Live series. Up until this point, we’ve mostly talked about things that can be done privately – reading books and magazines and such. This time, we take a look at communal activities like meetings and conferences. There’s some information here that you won’t want to miss! *** To access the posts and show notes for this podcast, click here. To support the show, click here. Find Brandy on Facebook.
