SS #45: Need Scholé? Just Add Joy!
If you have ever smelled smoke at your house and wondered if you were starting to burn out at this homeschooling thing, this episode is for you. Brandy was tempted to burnout early this year and so she and Mystie chatted about homeschooling, minimalism, and why sometimes adding something is a better approach that cutting back even more.

Oh I love you three! Thank you for helping me learn to value schole as I mother my two toddlers. Thank you, thank you! And this episode is right on for the value that making the effort to do a little more, rather than less, can be just right! I find that so true.
