148. The 'Enough' Trap with Sarah Mackenzie

The Deliberate Day Podcast | Taming the chaos of big family life for moms of many

Today we have invited one of our homeschool heroes, Sarah Mackenzie here to speak with you and bring the hope, because that's what she's done for us for YEARS.

Sarah's the author of Teaching from Rest, The Read-Aloud Family and several picture books, including Because Barbara, which officially released March 5th of this year!

She's the host of the Read-Aloud Revival Podcast, which has been downloaded

over 14 million times in more than 160 countries, and is the publisher at the boutique publishing house, Waxwing Books.

Her best work, though, is at home in the Northwest, where she and her husband homeschool their six children.

More from Sarah Mackenzie

In addition to Read-Aloud Revival, Sarah has started a Publishing Company (Waxwing Books). She wrote a few books, got an agent, and each time as they would get far in the acquisition process, the publisher would say the books were too “Classic.” So her husband suggested she start her own!

Waxwing has three picture books out now (that can be enjoyed by large families with kids of all ages), and the newest one, Because Barbara, is about Barbara Cooney. As Sarah began digging into her life, she discovered how she was a creative force who had a zest for life that she passed on to her kids.

The best place to find Sarah is Read Aloud Revival and the Read Aloud Revival Podcast. On her website, there’s a great Tool to help you choose a read-aloud for your family! You can also check out Waxwing Books to see what they’ve published AND what’s coming next!

Remember sweet momma,

you are doing beautiful work!
