God has given me a passion for motherhood and homemaking. From that passion, a ministry has birthed- No Higher Calling. There is no higher calling on my life than to be wife to Simeon and mama to my littles. Join with me on my motherhood journey as I seek to encourage moms and point them to Christ.

In this episode, I share how we unexpectedly started studying Shakespeare with my elementary homeschool children — and why it’s become one of a highlight of our school days!
Despite having little interest in Shakespeare myself, I was inspired by A Charlotte Mason Companion and several podcasts to give it a try. What began as skepticism turned into delight as we discovered the beauty of introducing Shakespeare early.
Key Conversation Points:
- Surprising benefits of Shakespeare for young children
- How we structure our weekly “Shakespearean Tea Time” lessons
- Reading the play aloud with dramatic voices, memory work, discussion, and puppet coloring
- Our fun 6-week wrap-up: memory recitation and family puppet show
Perfect for families wondering if Shakespeare is too advanced for little ones — it’s not! We’re already planning our next play later this school year!
