So thankful I found Dwell!

I love listening to this inspiring, uplifting podcast. I just discovered it, and have shared it with my CM friends. So much practical and godly wisdom from women in different stages of their homemaking/homeschooling journey. I am so thankful I found Dwell!

Uses and Ad Network

I used to like listening to this podcast until they began utilizing advertisements from random advertisers at the beginning of every episode. I don’t have a problem with podcasts doing their own ads or sharing their sponsorship, but this feels super cheap and cheapens the Circe brand/podcast network. Really McDonalds ads?

Great ideas, can you post resources?

Hello! I’m so thankful to have found your podcast! Just listened to morning rituals and thought it was great! Could you please share some poetry books to use in your morning routine and are there charlotte mason art books? I’m new to homeschooling and would love any help you could give! Thanks so much!
