Few books had such a profound impact in my childhood as the Anne of Green Gables series by L. M. Montgomery. Anne’s passionate curiosity and wonder-filled approach to the world around her, fierce loyalty, and delightful imagination continue to delight readers of all ages. So I was beyond excited for the opportunity to chat with author and publisher Katie Stewart. Katie is a fellow Anne-lover who recently published an annotated edition of Anne of Green Gables, bringing Anne to a new generation of readers. Whether you love Anne already or are new to the delights of Prince Edward Island, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss!

What do you get when you take one tired homeschool mom and one sorta-sick teen daughter and put them in a room together in front of a microphone? You get today's slightly-of-the-rails-but-still-totally-awesome Homeschool Conversations episode! My 16-year-old daughter, Emma, reprises her role as guest co-host as we kick off Season 8 of the podcast. (She has come on each season since Season 5, so if you like today's episode, be sure to scroll back in your podcast feed and catch up on all that awesomeness.) Now, if you're new around here, I assure you that the regular tone of the podcast is a bit more polished. But today you get the raw, unedited, slightly kooky version of the Sloan family. So... consider yourself forewarned. (Some people actually say these Q&A episodes are their favorite... but I do just like to make sure people prepare themselves for the giggles!) Make sure you're subscribed to Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology so you don't miss a single episode! You can expect an encouraging interview every other week, with a few bonus episodes sprinkled throughout. In fact, our very first bonus episode comes Monday and it's going to be one all the Anne of Green Gables fans, especially, won't want to miss!!

I love how there has been an emphasis recently within education, especially in classical circles, on restful-learning. As I have pondered what “rest” means in my own life (not just in my home education), I return over and over again to the concept of resting from my own workings and attempts to earn God’s favor by being awesome.  My rest is found by relying on the accomplished work of Jesus Christ for my identity. The hard news that I will never be “good enough” drives me to repentance and humility. The blessedly amazing news of grace drives me to doxological shouts of joy.

So you want to sing Psalms with your children, but you’re not really sure where to start. Or maybe you wonder why singing Psalms with children is even important! Is Psalm singing really something to prioritize in family life? We have a special episode today in the Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology summer audioblog series. Today my friend Melissa Cummings shares not only her personal experience and love for singing Psalms, but she also gives practical tips for including Psalm singing in the homeschool day. Melissa shares what she’s learned from her experience as a musician, music educator, and homeschool mom of many. Part memoir, part musical training, and part practical advice, this is an episode you’ll want to bookmark and return to time and again! Thank you, Melissa, for sharing your wisdom with us!

You’ve heard about this thing called classical education and you’re curious. Should you choose to pursue a classical education in your homeschool? Or maybe you already consider yourself a Christian classical educator, but you’re feeling burned out. The kids don’t seem to remember or appreciate the things you thought they would, and you wonder if it’s even worth it. So, why do I pursue a Christian classical education in our homeschool? Hint: it might not be why you think! Welcome to this week’s installment in the Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology summer audioblog series!
