What can be said in New Year rhymes, That’s not been said a thousand times? The new years come, the old years go, We know we dream, we dream we know. We rise up laughing with the light, We lie down weeping with the night. We hug the world until it stings, We curse it then and sigh for wings….

Beauty in Charlotte Mason Community: Part II
Last week I wrote a fairly personal post about the “why” behind a Charlotte Mason homeschool co-op, including how I feel this community is not only a gift to my kids, but also to me.

Beauty in Charlotte Mason Community: Part I
“Everyone will become like family.” These words were spoken to me on a warm summer afternoon last year as I was standing in line in someone’s kitchen, waiting to pile my plate with food.
