    Autumn Kern | Mother Academia: How to Be a Lifelong Learner

    On this episode we interview Autumn Kern, host of The Common House network for classical Charlotte Mason homeschoolers and The Commonplace podcast. We talk about the growing popularity of personal curriculums and the way modernity has left most of us with an intuitive sense that something was lacking in our own education. Autumn gives wonderful practical tips on how you can pursue varying degrees of personal study through what she calls Mother Acadamia (though fathers can do it too)!

  4. A Week in the Life of a Classical Curriculum Writer with 6 Children

    A Week in the Life of a Classical Curriculum Writer with 6 Children

    On this episode Amanda shares how she homeschools her six children and still has time to run a small business, clean, grocery shop, and nourish her intellectual life. For context, the Faus children's ages are 10 (Year 5), 8 (Year 3), 6 (Year 1), 4, 2, and 6 months. This is the general pattern of our life at this time, but do not mistake hearing about our routines for some idea of perfection. Our days absolutely include all the usual interruptions of real life: fatigue from interrupted sleep, a moody child, sibling conflicts, moments of personal overwhelm, and so on. But with God's help we keep putting one foot in front of the other, and whenever we pause to look back we see so much Grace in how we continue to grow and learn together.
