When little ones scramble their numbers, it is a reminder of the short season of childhood—a sentiment shared by Anna Panza from Our Faith Filled Home in our latest conversation.  As we discuss her journey of homeschooling, you’ll get a glimpse into a-day-in-the-life filled with devotional time, tailored learning activities, the rhythm of outdoors, and practical education. With the Southern Californian sun guiding their routines, listen to how Anna Panza keeps the rhythm of education flowing all  throughout their year. Have you ever watched a child's eyes light up with excitement over seeing their favorite toy? That's the spark that fuels "interest-led homeschooling", the method that transformed Anna's family's learning experience. She explains how paying attention to her son's love for race cars has fueled their educational journey. Through laughter and passion, she debunks common homeschooling myths and hurdles to demonstrate the surprising depth of learning that is possible when education is not confined to the classroom walls. To cap our conversation off, we talk about weaving faith into the everyday fabric of family life. Reciting Galatians 6:9 on car rides, for example, isn't just for passing time—it's about embedding perseverance into all their hearts. Anna prioritizes faith-based learning alongside academic learning, ensuring that literacy serves not just as a skill, but as a practical way to live out wisdom. Let's dive into homeschooling, homemaking, and the importance of raising up the next generation.

Starting a homestead isn't just early mornings and hard work—it's about living a life more fulfilled and growing joy in your heart sowing seeds in the ground. Brianna from Honey and Nectar Co. stopped by this week to take us back through her memories of growing up on a farm and her homestead heritage. She shares the sweet joys of bottle-feeding little lambs and real piggyback rides. Her recent escapades with uncooperative animals during a photo shoot prove that while farm life can be unpredictable, it's also filled with great lessons and lots of laughter. We go back to the roots, literally, and talk about how to start. From the first animals to buy, to going to market, we uncover the why behind the satisfaction we get from working the land. From the simple acts of planting seeds in your apartment window to buying land and caring for animals. If you are a  spade-wielding newbie or you come with soil under already under your nails, you'll appreciate how starting with bread or the first sprout in spring reconnects us to the cycle of nature. Whether it's the pride of your first tomato harvest or the first egg in the coop, Brianna and I dive deep into the joy of homesteading and the fulfillment of living a life entwined with the land. Finally, for those with dreams of turning their green thumbs into greenbacks, we pack the end of the episode with practical advice. Lay the groundwork for a profitable hobby farm, understand your local laws and regulations, and charm your way through the farmer's market scene.
