Thoughtworthy (Summer Reading Stack, Latest Podcast, and MORE!)

:: 1 ::

I’m slowly building my summer reading stack. It’s got some new purchases, as well as some unread old purchases, as well as some books that I just haven’t finished yet. I always write a couple summer reading posts, and I will still do that closer to time, but for now, here’s what I’ve got:

• Beauty in the Word: Rethinking the Foundations of Education • The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert : An English Professor’s Journey into Christian Faith • Against the Gods: The Polemical Theology of the Old Testament • Minds More Awake: The Vision of Charlotte Mason • Vittorino da Feltre and Other Humanist Educators: A History of Classical Education •

I hit a wall this week. My body dared to remind me that I am a low-energy mom. I got away with pretending I wasn’t for a number of weeks there, but the crash is always inevitable. I really can’t complain, though. Flu season was awful this year, but I managed to stay healthy, and for that I’m grateful. There was a time when I caught everything.

Here’s the latest episode of Scholé Sisters!

It took two attempts for Mystie and I to finally get this recorded. Determination is key, my friends.

In other news, Scholé Sisters officially hit 10,000 listeners! I cannot tell you how excited we are about that! Turns out, the sisterhood is quite large.  Look around! There might be a sister right next to you and you didn’t even know! ♥
