Weekend homeschool links: December 9th

Don’t miss the brand new Christmas episode of my Simple Homeschool podcast, complete with new holiday music 😉 thanks to my son/editor Jonathan!

For Episode 102, I recorded one of my favorite stories for you to listen to with (or without, LOL) your children: Aunt Cyrilla’s Christmas Basket by L.M. Montgomery.

I often tell my kids, “Sometimes the things that go wrong make the best memories.” This story illustrates that perfectly. Find it wherever you listen to podcasts!

And if you want more when you’re done, head to Episode 10 of the podcast for another Christmas story I recorded a few years ago – enjoy!
