  • Simply Inspiring!

    I am a stay at home mom with 3 young children, beginning to look into how my husband and I want to homeschool our children. Autumn was one of the first Charlotte Mason/Classical influences I found, and WOW. Every episode (or video on YouTube) has me completely inspired and eager to learn how to practically implement CM’s method and philosophy of education, which Autumn is helping me figure out! Thank you for making what is a new world for me (good literature, art, etc.) exciting!

  • One of my New Favorites!

    I am so happy to have discovered this podcast and I’m so excited to catch up on the previous seasons! I don’t have children yet and I feel so lucky to get to hear this information in advance. Autumn speaks so beautifully about educating the soul and she has inspired me to dive deeper into my own classical Charlotte Mason education before I have children!

  • So refreshing and encouraging!

    Autumn’s calm and cheerful voice makes this one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. And the question of, “Is Charlotte Mason classical?” bears so much fruitful food for thought. I appreciate this free voice in the great conversation about education and love for our children.

  • Autumn is lovely

    I feel as though Autumn is a dear friend. Though she might not have years of experience, she points towards the way we ought to aim, while linking arms with other mothers on the same journey. She encourages me to look towards the things above, as she learns to do the same. I find her thought provoking, and lovely.
