Welcome to the debut episode of Finding Beautiful Here Podcast!  In this episode  you'll hear from David and his experience being homeschooled as a child (multiple recesses, anyone?).  Kendra shares her favorite December read-alouds (hint: it's not Bunnicula), and David surprises us with his vocal range in an impromptu theme song show down.

Episode 3 - Reluctant Spouses, Dates, & Routines

In this week's episode we theorize that the children have hollow legs and Kendra shares a simple meal planning tip that served her well during a stressful time. David gets deep while discussing homeschooling as an expression of holiness, and we learn why Kendra would rather homeschool in the 21st century and avoid typhoid fever. (Full disclosure: At the time of the recording Kendra's voice was still pretty rocky and we apologize for her crazy laugh)
