Imagination & Baby Steps in Charlotte Mason Homeschooling (with JoAnn Hallum)
Are you interested in Charlotte Mason home education, but you're not sure if that works for real-life homeschool moms? JoAnn Hallum is one of my favorite people to follow on Instagram. Her beautiful words, hysterical stories, and real-life reminders of what is truly important always make me think and make me smile. She likes to remind me that she's a writer, not a podcaster, but I think you're going to definitely want to hear more from her after you listen to this conversation! No wonder Mariel told me that JoAnn needed to be next on my list of podcast guests!
