It is the question we get asked more than any other. How do I do Morning Time with kids that span a wide range of ages and if I have toddlers in the mix. Well today we have the answer. In this video workshop replay, mom of ten Heather Tully shares with us why and…
Note: This post was originally published in August 2009. It was our first foray into “tea time” when the kids were only four and two (yep, only two kids at that moment). We have enjoyed so many tea times through the years. I hope you enjoy the look back. Tea time is one of those…
On today’s podcast I am joined by homeschool mom Jennifer Stowe who has turned a passion for all things tea into a business and educational experience for her entire family. Join us as we talk about the historical, cultural, and literary learning we can derive from tea, fun food ideas for tea time, and how…

A new year can be both daunting and exciting at the same time. It is a fresh start and a time for change, but that doesn’t excuse the need to be realistic about what you can actually do amid the uncertainties of homeschool mom life (every day is different, yes?) So today community manager Dawn…
Continuing with our November theme of celebrating Advent this year, I am joined on today’s show by the Your Morning Basket Plus music specialist Genie Shaw. We are talking all about Advent music, what makes it different from Christmas music and why you might want to add some of these pieces to your holiday playlist….
