Monica Irvine – Defining the Skills of Being Kind

In this podcast episode, Monica Irvine from the Etiquette Factory explains what etiquette really is.  It is all about being kind.  And we need more kindness in the world!

Jim Hodges – Genius Realized – Success with Audiobooks

I fell in love with audiobooks early on in our homeschooling journey.  They provided me with a much-needed break.  Every day at lunch, we would put an audiotape in the boombox (yes, I’ve been doing it that long), and Mommy wouldn’t have to talk for an hour.  It was a sanity saver!
