The Saint Emmelia Podcast

Megan Gilbert, wife of a seminarian, homeschool mom, artist and published author takes us on a journey to Greece where her and her husband found Orthodoxy. Since then, much has changed and she joyfully speaks to us about homeschooling her young children and still finding time to do her artwork and publish books. You can find her works at the Ancient Faith store. (store.ancientfaith.com) "A Mother's Prayer" "Beautiful Things" "Beautiful Christmas" "The Child of God is Baptized"

Kh. Nicole Damick takes us on a fun journey discussing her path to homeschooling and life as a homeschool mom. Kh Nicole homeschools four children. She doesn't get enough sleep or exercise, and she spends all her money on books. She dreams of winning four of the Hammer Schumacher Human Bowling Balls so that she can just put them inside and let them roll around in them in the backyard while she gets to drink a whole cup of coffee uninterrupted. In the meantime, we read a lot, do a lot of math, and follow whatever rabbit trails the day presents to us. She is in the trenches, so now is not the time to be contemplating who she is for a bio. Her three year old is trying to peel all the crayons and her 8 year old is trying to recreate a Calvin * Hobbes snowman scene in the yard with ketchup.
