Mar 21, 2023 • 32:09

Feb 10, 2023 • 25:03

I have missed making podcasts this last month! It has been a really busy time for me because I’ve given myself a deadline to complete something that I’ve been dreaming about for over a decade. Listen to today’s podcast, recorded at a quiet cozy cottage in the woods, where I…

“How do you do it?” I have been asked this question so. many. times. When people learn that we have eight children ages 1-15, I think they are genuinely curious what our life looks like. Today I am sharing a bit about life as a mother of a large family,…

Taking the Help That Comes (Podcast #42)

Nov 29, 2022 • 31:51

There are seasons of my life where I become acutely aware that I am in way over my head. When I want to hand my life over to someone who is more qualified to run it for me because I literally do not know what I’ve gotten myself into. I…
Homeschool and Creative Family Culture (Podcast #41)

Oct 28, 2022 • 47:27

I don’t want my children to be simply entertained through life. I want them to show up for the purposes for which God has created them. I want them to do the things that only they can do. I want them to have the living conversations that can only come…
One Small Garden (Ch. 7 Read Aloud of The Sacred Everyday Book) Podcast #40

Oct 14, 2022 • 24:49

We never really know what we are building with our lives. I try so hard to understand what it’s all about. I pray for vision, I research my past for clues, I desperately seek God for the next step. This is the life of faith. And though we may think…
Faith and Miracles (Ch. 6 Read-Aloud of The Sacred Everyday Book) Podcast #39

Oct 11, 2022 • 47:26

Are you going to have more? How do you feed them? How do you do it? And the often-implied but never-spoken–why??? When people see us with our eight children, they are curious. For the past 6 weeks, I have been reading aloud a chapter at a time of my book,…
