We know that the mind feeds on ideas, so we started this website to bring busy fellow-thinkers mental snacks and podcasts that can be enjoyed over a coffee break.  Because even though you want something chewy to think about, sometimes you don't have time for a two-hour long meandering conversation.

Meet Lisa and Laura

Lisa Rose is a pianist and singer whose love of books and Bach is only eclipsed by her love of family and Orthodox Christianity. When she is not busy juggling her myriad responsibilities as a homemaker and homeschooler she is most likely to be found curled up somewhere comfortable with her nose in a book.

Laura E. Wolfe is the author of the beloved children’s book Sasha and the Dragon (2017) and the literary novella The Lion and the Saint (2020), both of which have been published internationally. She loves to read and play and sing and pray with her kids, especially outside in all manner of weather. When everyone is sleeping, she is working on a forthcoming multi-story fiction project that she likes to call “spiritual-magical-realism.” Visit her website to find out more!

About Patterns for Life

Patterns for Life: An Orthodox Reflection on Charlotte Mason Education was born out of the discovery that we are two kindred spirits whose mutual passion for our children, our faith, and our educational philosophy was something we both felt compelled to share.
