Plumfield Moms
We are sisters in Christ who became friends over a shared love of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty, found especially in good and great books. Our primary vocation is that of marriage and motherhood, but we feel a secondary call, as educators and homeschool moms, to walk with families who are seeking to help form souls who are capable of responding to the vocation God has called them to. Our objective is to form our children and grandchildren to the best of our ability, and in so doing share what has been meaningful to us with others that it may encourage them and lighten their burden. As homeschoolers, classical educators and Christians, we have a passion for the ancient Greek paideia and the loving education of Louisa May Alcott‘s Plumfield (from her novel Little Men).

David Weitzman writes and illustrates books for children about the "edges" in human history. The moments in which one feats of engineering and craft catapulted man forward into a new way of thinking about the world. We enjoyed talking with him so much that the interview turned into two episodes. And, when we were done with that conversation, we decided to have another which turned into 2 more episodes. All this week we will be airing those episodes and then on Friday, we will air Diane's review of Old Ironsides.
We will be building a David Weitzman page for our website. Sara has reviewed Pharaoh's Boat, Diane has reviewed Old Ironsides, and we will be reviewing others.
