Summary: <a href="http://fountainsofcarrots.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ginnyepisode43.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-534"></a><br> <br> We’ve been fans of Ginny Sheller’s blog, <a href="http://www.gsheller.com">Small Things,</a> for ages and were so thrilled to meet her in real life last summer. Ginny is a Catholic homeschooling mom to seven (almost eight!) and her family lives in a 200-year-old farm house on six acres. She’s just fantastic and we know you’re going to love this conversation with her. We keep it real in this episode!<br> Ginny shared her conversion story and we talked about young children in Mass, what it’s like having a large family, and the power of the sacraments in today’s episode. So grab a cup of tea and join us!<br> Links for this episode:<br> <a href="http://www.gsheller.com/2008/01/from-hurting-child-to-punk-rock-teen-to-catholic-homeschooling-mom-my-conversion-story.html">Ginny’s conversion story</a> from Small Things<br> Christy’s <a href="http://fountainsofhome.blogspot.com/2014/08/survival-skills-for-mass-with-kids.html" target="_blank">Survival Skills for Mass with Kids</a><br> Christy’s post: <a href="http://fountainsofhome.blogspot.ca/2013/07/sometimes-sacraments-are-all-mom-has.html" target="_blank">Sometimes the Sacraments Are All a Mom Has</a><br> Haley’s<a href="http://www.carrotsformichaelmas.com/2014/08/27/27-books-for-your-mass-bag-and-tips-for-dealing-with-little-ones-in-mass/" target="_blank"> 27 Books for Your Mass Bag</a> and <a href="http://www.carrotsformichaelmas.com/2013/01/14/how-my-kids-didnt-ruin-mass/">How My Kids Didn’t Ruin Mass </a><br> Books we talked about:<br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/What-Authority-Evangelical-Discovers-Tradition/dp/1586177826/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&qid=1459804801&sr=8-1&keywords=by+what+authority+mark+shea&linkCode=li2&tag=fountainsofcarrots-20&linkId=d973a670ef362d54298ce6769b9a58a5" target="_blank"></a><br> <a href="http://amzn.to/25HnThw" target="_blank">By What Authority: An Evangelical Discovers Catholic Tradition</a> by Mark Shea<br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Severe-Mercy-Sheldon-Vanauken/dp/0060688246/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&qid=1459804868&sr=8-1&keywords=a+sever+mercy&linkCode=li2&tag=fountainsofcarrots-20&linkId=714585cc36e3047948e48cb4e424d978" target="_blank"></a><br> <a href="http://amzn.to/1V5c9BU" target="_blank">A Severe Mercy </a>by Sheldon Vanauken<br> How to connect with Ginny:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.gsheller.com/" target="_blank">Ginny’s blog</a><br> * <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GinnySheller/" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br> * <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ginnysheller/" target="_blank">Instagram</a><br> <br> Today’s podcast is sponsored by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/zelieandco/" target="_blank">Zelie&Co</a>, a collaboration of Catholic Artisan Mamas.
