Show Notes:
In this episode, Maeve and Mat share ten practical tools that have strengthened their Catholic homeschooling over the years — from faith-filled apps and saint resources to apologetics cards, family-friendly podcasts, and tech choices that support virtue.
You’ll hear real-life stories from their home, how these tools have shaped their kids’ faith and confidence, and why small daily practices — like saint-of-the-day readings, friendly apologetics conversations, and intentional tech — can make a big difference in family life and discipleship.
This one is equal parts helpful, encouraging, and a little bit hilarious (yes, including the sprinting Amazon driver and the middle-school group text thread).
