Ep 12 - Living books and morning time rituals with Liz Yeboah

Happy New Year! Welcome to Episode 12, our final episode in the series of Rituals and Practices within Home Education. It has been a fascinating year of learning, laughing, growing and building a culturally diverse community of home edders together. In this final episode, I will be speaking to my dear sister-friend on this home-ed journey, Liz Yeboah on how she cultivates the love of learning through living books and morning time within her beautiful family. Based in Milton Keynes, Liz Yeboah, a British home educator of Ghanaian heritage, spends her days enchanting her 5 children, ages 23 to 8, to love learning through her passion for God, her penchant for living books and travel adventures as well as her commitment to using her own spice to spread an atmosphere of love through life-giving family rituals. This show is packed with delights and insights to captivate the entire family. Be prepared to encounter a beautiful picture of black christian marriage in motion. You may be inspired by Liz’s her heart for motherhood, and its eternal purpose in soul making for Christ. Friends, you will also be enthralled by the list of books that make Yeboah’s cannot-leave-home-without-book-list not to mention the treasure trove of books for the home-ed mama’s heart. I hope you will also hear and be affected by the synergy and camaraderie between this incredibly wise and radiant lady and I. This episode is truly the perfect listen to reset your year after a week or two of out of sync festivities.
