  • In this episode, we have Rosemary Terrell… a hybrid schooling, sourdough baking, homesteading wanna-be, and owner of Mama’s Little Loves.

    Rosemary lives with her husband in central Texas where they stumble their way towards heaven while managing the chaos that comes with raising their three kids.

    She opened her shop in 2020 with the intention of strengthening her domestic church and sharing her family’s faith journey with others. Along with making meaningful items, Rosemary is passionate about sharing her family’s liturgical living practices, learning more about the faith and supporting other small Catholic businesses.

  • Today we are SO happy to introduce you to Raquel…a Catholic wife, momma to four beautiful children, and the creator of the Little Rose Shop!

    She's always loved creating, and lives by the motto "Created to Create" inspired by St JPII's Letter to Artists (don't worry! we'll include a link in the show notes)

    Creativity combined with faith has led her to a special mission of creating items that help everyone they touch encounter God in a fun and practical way.

    The mission of the Little Rose Shop is to bring faith into everyday life and Raquel's hope is that each item she creates fosters prayer and spiritual encouragement…drawing your soul nearer to God.

  • So, as we all gear up for the fast-approaching holiday season, we wanted to highlight a few shops (and the people behind them!) so YOU can get some great ideas for gifts, and so WE can share some amazing fellow small businesses that we love.

    This brings us to Chris Lewis…he's a Catholic illustrator and the owner of BARITUS, a Catholic illustration studio devoted to creating works of art that “promote the Good, True and Beautiful of the Catholic Faith.”

    Working in a digital medium, Chris is dedicated to bringing the Catholic Faith to life through illustration in a way that is reverent and true to the rich artistic legacy of the Catholic Church, with a unique modern style that resonates with the faithful today. Which we can attest to, because we've loved every purchase we've bought from him!

  • In this episode we have Amy! An amazing momma who made the difficult decision to “retire” from her career as a full spectrum small town family physician to homeschool.

    Amy's family is really interesting because they do what she calls, "hybrid school". They live in a small town, her oldest two (8, 5) go to public school in the afternoons, and her youngest two go to daycare three days a week.

    She's a self-described homeschooling rebel 😂 (but we think she's a wonderful example of someone who's thoroughly explored the possibilities and found what works well in her family and small community).

  • We want to talk homeschooling…more specifically….what an ACTUAL day in a homeschool can look like.

    But, the reality is, every homeschool is different...because every child is different, every mom is different, and every family is different.

    So, rather than just share what Tiffany and I do in OUR homeschools, we thought it would be amazing to reach out to other moms in our community and showcase all the real possibilities for homeschooling our families!

    In this episode we have Insiya, a Muslim woman, Wife, Homeschool Mom of three children under 6, Mental Health Educator and Entrepreneur…

    She's had 10+ glorious years as a counselor and trainer in the field of mental health between the Middle East and India and if that wasn't impressive enough, she's also been a research assistant at Stanford University.

  • We’re back, and we’re talking homeschool supplies today! Just like when you set up a beautiful nursery for your brand new baby, you can over-supply your homeschool!

    The truth is, our homeschools don’t require all that much. So, we sat down and thought about what homeschool supplies we would go out and buy first if our own stashes were wiped out…

  • Have you ever considered what homeschooling might look like in another country?

    Here in the U.S., laws can vary dramatically from state to state, and so can opportunities for learning and enrichment. Can you imagine how that might look on an international scale?

    Well, our guest, Jenni Cassidy can! She's a wife, mother to 7 (including 5 graduates), and she lives and homeschools her youngest two children in the UK! She's also the co-director of Dumb Ox Learning AND she's a consultant for Mother of Divine Grace!

    Let's Give it a Go (01:00)Homeschooling in Austria (04:30)Homeschooling in the U.K. (06:35)Traveling (09:25)Mother of Divine Grace (12:50)Our Q's (16:30)More from Dumb Ox Learning (30:45)More about Jenni Cassidy

    There is another homeschool mom just like Jenni, a fellow mother of 7 and Mother of Divine Grace consultant, who Jenni met in Austria. They discovered that to continue with further education in the U.K., children need to do the exams that kids do in school (which homeschoolers really don’t want to do).

    So, Helen (the co-owner of Dumb Ox Learning), discovered that if you have an American high school diploma and a combination of AP courses and/or SAT scores, you CAN be accepted into a university in the U.K. Many people are unaware of this!

    Helen began teaching AP classes, and it just took off from there! Jenni takes care of the artistic side of the business, and Helen does some of the teaching (and they’ve recruited other teachers).

    Starting in September (of what will be their second full year), Dumb Ox Learning will be offering 10 AP courses, they offer some GCSE’s, SAT prep courses, and enrichment courses (for supplements). All the teachers are Catholic (although the AP courses are secular).

    Dumb Ox Learning includes a mix of both international teachers and students. Book clubs begin as young as 5 years old, and other classes go up from there. To learn more and see which classes will be offered this fall head to Dumb Ox Learning. Check out Dumb Ox Learning on Instagram.

  • On the last podcast, we talked about choosing curriculum and how it needs to line up with your ‘why’. Sometimes, finding your ‘why’ can feel a bit like hunting a mythical unicorn, so Brittany & I thought we’d share her process for discovering her ‘why’ each new year. (Because it changes each year, and it’s different for every family).

  • Today we have invited one of our homeschool heroes, Sarah Mackenzie here to speak with you and bring the hope, because that's what she's done for us for YEARS.

    Sarah's the author of Teaching from Rest, The Read-Aloud Family and several picture books, including Because Barbara, which officially released March 5th of this year!

    She's the host of the Read-Aloud Revival Podcast, which has been downloaded

    over 14 million times in more than 160 countries, and is the publisher at the boutique publishing house, Waxwing Books.

    Her best work, though, is at home in the Northwest, where she and her husband homeschool their six children.

    More from Sarah Mackenzie

    In addition to Read-Aloud Revival, Sarah has started a Publishing Company (Waxwing Books). She wrote a few books, got an agent, and each time as they would get far in the acquisition process, the publisher would say the books were too “Classic.” So her husband suggested she start her own!

    Waxwing has three picture books out now (that can be enjoyed by large families with kids of all ages), and the newest one, Because Barbara, is about Barbara Cooney. As Sarah began digging into her life, she discovered how she was a creative force who had a zest for life that she passed on to her kids.

    The best place to find Sarah is Read Aloud Revival and the Read Aloud Revival Podcast. On her website, there’s a great Tool to help you choose a read-aloud for your family! You can also check out Waxwing Books to see what they’ve published AND what’s coming next!
