Thank you Cindy & Dawn!

I first learned about Cindy from the former podcast and after reading her book Mere Motherhood and following her over to the Lit Life, I have longed to learn more about the practical application of CM's philosophy. Thank you for breathing new life back into this podcast and being obedient to the Holy Spirit and trusting the Lord's timing. I'm excited to learn more as you progress through the seasons.

Charlotte Mason for the win

I cannot compare Cindy's podcast with anyone else's. she is humble and genuine. Dawn is a great cohost. I enjoy every episode and often retell it to my friends.
