Just wanted to send a virtual hug. When you talked about your mom being your sewing person…I know how hard that must be to realize yet another way her loss will affect your daily life. But what a sweet thing to now learn how to sew with your kids. Beauty from ashes…again and again.
Our family subjects are my favorite time of the day and it’s what we spend the majority of our time working on. I love the discussions from all of our kids
My mother went to be with Jesus in March- it seems that every day something comes up that we depended on her for ❤. Hugs & prayers -I am sure your momma will be on your mind as you sew your buttons 🙏🙏🤗🤗❤️❤️
This was very helpful. I joined the CMEC this year, but I like to learn about the different Charlotte Mason curricula and use what works best for my family. Thank you for these videos!
Just love all your videos💕this week has brought so much inspiration to a mama who was finding it hard to get started in the planning and gathering process
We also had my dad passing away in February so we paused on school for awhile and we have a one year old baby as well. Blessings to you. It is hard…we also live in Florida and will also be studying the nutcracker in co op and going to the show with our friends….
Thank you so much for letting everyone to have a chance to win and I love your videos. I have learned so much from watching your channel. Can't wait for your picks for each grade level.
The CM feast still overwhelms me! Even after 11 years of homeschooling 😂 Love that you do all of these as your “core”, that’s kind of how our days work too.
We did AO and it was so overwhelming at first too! When we first decided to start CM we did the morning basket route first to add in certain things on the AO schedule and it was much easier to ease into it. ;)
Thanks for sharing what you use for enrichments, helps me to see that you can do it all even with a little one. Also, your comment on being okay with things happening that make you adjust homeschool but its not okay when it’s because of you being disorganized; great reminder to us mom to stay organized! Thanks again.
Looks like a great year ahead! I love the enrichment that comes with CM homeschooling. Artist/picture study has become my favorite over the years. We took a family trip to DC this past school year and it was so sweet to see my youngest child experiencing wonder and awe in an art gallery seeing the real thing she studied! I also loved the my oldest got to check off seeing a real Van Gogh in person from her bucket list before she graduated. Laying the foundation to appreciate the beauty that goes into art, music and handicrafts gives a sense of appreciation to all that goes into those skills and giftings!
Yay for back to school week! I am so glad you mention that you are just rotating through all these enrichment things, not doing them on an every day or weekly basis - I love all the things and just have to remember we don’t have to do them all at once!
This feast is MOUTHWATERING for hearts and minds! So many great resources to add to your homeschool day. Definitely going to look into these further. Thanks for sharing!
You have been such an encouragement to me not to skip enrichment and I’m so grateful! I get easily overwhelmed so I was avoiding all the CM beauty subjects for so long but after watching your videos about morning time and your family subjects I’ve started gradually adding them in. Thank you!
I'm loving your ideas for family subjects. We are able to start some family subjects/morning time together this year for the first time with the ages of our kids!
You have encouraged me to keep up with enrichment subjects. They tend to fall off the wagon during the year, but I really want to be more intentional this year!
You have been such a great encouragement to me along my CM journey! I am going into year six of homeschooling my two girls. I am throughly loving the feast of education I get to teach my girls . I want to say thank you for being a blessing to me.
You have some REALLY great picks for this year! Thank you so much for sharing what you’re planning on using. I’ve learn so much through following your homeschooling journey. 💕
Our last school year was rough as well. My mom got sick in January and passed away on April 5. This school year we are dealing with our oldest adult daughter’s diagnosis with cancer. I feel like Job at the moment. God has a plan…I may not like it but he has a plan for our family.
Looks like a fun year ahead. I even got some helpful ideas for our home. Love your content and heart not only for your family, but to help encourage other Mama’s along the way!
How funny- we also dig around on the AO website to find our own folk songs and we also chose I’ll Fly Away and Crawdad Song, but we chose the Mermaid instead of the Fox. I love that you’re adding the ballet study! We started doing an opera, a composer, and a ballet- one per term for our classical music study. So fun!
I don’t have school age kids yet, but we’re taking a very, very gentle start to homeschooling preschool with my 3.5 year old this year, and I’m reading up on Charlotte Mason. Watching your videos makes me so excited for the future!
I love calling it enrichment subjects! This has really inspired me to do things differently this year. Also the living well journal magazine is beautiful!!
I would love to see how you schedule all of this out. Do you just decide how many days a week you want to do each thing, and then spread it out accordingly? I always feels like there’s so much and not a good way to fit it all in!
I just have to say that we stumbled across the Speaking Spanish with Miss Mason and Francois this summer and I ordered the German version. (I took 6 years in middle and high school and we have really been struggling with Spanish the last 3 years.) We started 3 weeks ago and I have to tell you, I LOVE it. It's so natural. And the super fun part?? My 3 and 5 year old do it right along with us! They are saying German phrases throughout the day!
Learning Well Journals look beatiful! Love your idea for including a ballet study... my daughter would love that! Considering doing BSF with my high school daughter this year as well. I love your feast. Any ideas on how this will look on a day to day basis?
