The Catholic Grandma

 You are trying to do something beautiful and hard. You want to raise your children in the Catholic faith, give them a rich and generous education, and somehow hold it all together on the days when nothing goes as planned. But you are tired of piecing it all together. Tired of filtering Protestant content out of curriculum that was never built for you. Tired of feeling like everyone else has it figured out and you are the only one still searching. You have found your people. Peaceful Catholic Homeschooling is the podcast for Catholic moms who are building a Christ centered homeschool using Charlotte Mason principles, the liturgical year, and the grace that comes from a home rooted in faith. Each week I sit with you at the table and talk honestly about what this actually looks like in a real home with real children on a real Monday morning. I am The Catholic Grandma, a 34 year veteran educator and lifelong Catholic who has been watching Catholic homeschool moms carry too much for too long. This podcast is my answer to that. Topics include Catholic living books, Charlotte Mason philosophy, liturgical year curriculum, domestic church rhythms, narration, nature study, habit formation, and building a peaceful faithful homeschool from the inside out. Ready to keep the conversation going?  Come find us in our free Charlotte Mason for Catholic Homeschool Moms community on Facebook. That is where the real conversation happens and we are saving you a seat. Small steps. Faithful days. This is how your Catholic homeschool gets built.

    50 | Six Steps, One Climb: Meet the ASCENT Framework

    This is episode fifty, and it's the moment six weeks of work finally comes together. My daughter sat down with her finished one page plan this week and said something that stuck with me, it doesn't feel like six separate things anymore, it feels like one thing. Today I show her, and you, exactly what that one thing is, and why it's not an accident. I walk through the Psalms of Ascent, the songs pilgrims of old sang while climbing toward Jerusalem, one step at a time, and show how your own homeschool plan has been the very same kind of climb. This episode completes a six-part series. Catch up on the whole journey: Episode 44: Feeling Chaotic? Naming Your Charlotte Mason Homeschool AtmosphereEpisode 45: Stretched Too Thin?

    48 | Overwhelmed by Your Own Schedule? With the Help of St. Benedict

    If you've got all the pieces, your atmosphere, your capacity, your subjects, your narration rhythm, and still feel frazzled the moment the morning goes sideways, this episode is for you. I show my daughter how to order her day around sequence instead of the clock, so one hard moment doesn't take down the whole day. I introduce St. Benedict, whose Rule ordered an entire monastery's day around prayer and work, ora et labora, a place and time for everything. In this episode: Why a timetable is not a bell scheduleWhy order matters more than the exact timeSt. Benedict's Rule as a model for ordering your hoursBuilding your five rhythm blocks, and where feast days naturally fit inScripture referenced: 1 Corinthians 14:40 More episodes to check out: Episode 47: Is That Really Narration?
