    S6E82: Morning Time for Moms (and Dads!), Part 2, with Summer and Mike Smith
    Apr 25 2024
    Every plant bears fruit, ‘fruit and seed after his kind.’ All this is stale knowledge to older people, but one of the secrets of the educator is to present nothing as stale knowledge, but to put himself in the position of the child, and wonder and admire with him; for every common miracle which the child sees with his own eyes makes of him for the moment another Newton.

    Those who believe in the dignity of the domestic tradition, who happen to be the overwhelming majority of mankind, regard the home as a sphere of vast social importance and supreme spiritual significance, and to talk of being “confined” to it is like talking of being chained to a throne or set in the seat of judgment as if it were the stocks.

    S6E80: Spring Nature Study with Jeannette Tulis
    Apr 11 2024

    They notice for themselves, and the teacher gives a name and other information as it is asked for… In this way they lay up that store of “common information”… and what is more important, they learn to know and delight in natural objects as in the familiar faces of friends.

    Let them once get in touch with Nature, and a habit is formed which will be a source of delight through life. We were all meant to be naturalists, each in his degree, and it is inexcusable to live in a world so full of the marvels of plant and animal life and to care for none of these things.

Thank you Cindy & Dawn!

I first learned about Cindy from the former podcast and after reading her book Mere Motherhood and following her over to the Lit Life, I have longed to learn more about the practical application of CM's philosophy. Thank you for breathing new life back into this podcast and being obedient to the Holy Spirit and trusting the Lord's timing. I'm excited to learn more as you progress through the seasons.

Charlotte Mason for the win

I cannot compare Cindy's podcast with anyone else's. she is humble and genuine. Dawn is a great cohost. I enjoy every episode and often retell it to my friends.
