(You can see our Term 1 plans here and a recap of Term 1 here.) I’m having a hard time believing that we’re already into Term 3 of B’s first grade year, but it’s a fact. I’m actually already starting to look at books for next year, which is both sad because this means B is getting older, but also exciting…

(To read more about Charlotte Mason picture study and to see the other aids I have available, click here.) In honor of what would’ve been his 543rd birthday, today I am offering for free download a Charlotte Mason picture study aid for Michelangelo! Buon compleanno, Signore Buonarroti! This is, by far, the longest picture study I have made to date (47…

Based on the number of emails I’ve received asking about an updated Charlotte Mason-Inspired Kindergarten Curriculum for the 2018-2019 school year, there are a lot of you out there already starting to plan your next school year! Props to you as I haven’t even finalized my term 3 for this year and it starts in less than two weeks. 😳…

I first found this recipe several years ago when I received a butternut squash through a CSA and had absolutely no idea what to do with it. I’m not the biggest fan of squashes, unless it comes in pumpkin pie form, so I was at a loss. Compound that with a dairy sensitivity in our family that renders most butternut…

As I mentioned last week, I helped out at the Charlotte Mason Educational Retreat this last weekend in Colorado Springs. It was truly, truly an honor to be able to help this year and I can’t even begin to express how thankful I am to be part of the homeschool co-op that is behind this event. I love these women…

Hello friends. I had every hope of being able to post a new picture study aid for you this week (specifically for the Michelangelo selections from AO) and finding information for this one hasn’t been an issue at all (in fact…I’m actually kind of running into the opposite problem). But…well….life, you know? It gets in the way of plans. Most…

(You can see our Term 1 plans here and a recap of Term 2 here.) We actually started Term 2 the first week of December, but I wanted to have a full term under my belt before I wrote a review post and December was just a busy month….so here we are. 🙂 We’ve definitely had ups and downs this…

In new years passed, there were a few times that my one-word resolution was grace. I was going to show myself more grace and others more grace and my life was going to generally be…well….more graceful. I’m not sure how successful I was in that resolution, but I’m going to show myself grace for getting this post up later than…

So obviously time got away from me during the holidays and all the posts I had planned (including another free printable calendar for 2018) floated away into the ether, never to be heard from again. The most important post, though, is this one and it is about books. The lesson here is that books are the most important thing. 🧐…

I know there are about a million posts floating around on the internets with holiday gift suggestions this time of year. I actually wrote a very thorough one last year with some ideas for Charlotte Mason-inspired gifts that still applies (lots of handicrafts!), as well as a post from a few years ago with links to 30 printable gift tags….

Admittedly, I am not a huge fan of Black Friday. A few weeks ago, I was sitting with some other moms at church and they were talking about how they went out at midnight on Thanksgiving and stood in line and how much fun it was and the deals they got and they made it sound like it was all…
