    My most viewed video is all about the McGuffey's Readers. In this video I explain how we use them in our homeschool with a Charlotte Mason style language arts approach to teach reading, copywork, and dictation.

    The CMEC is a true Charlotte Mason curriculum. It left me wanting more for our family, but also needing less: less analyzing, less separation, and more communion with God and with one another. Listen for my honest review.

    I’ve been a Charlotte Mason purist for a while now but always felt a sticking point, especially with her first principle. Finally I have a way to articulate it!

The Children’s Tradition has given me a ‘thinking-love’ as a mother that has breathed life into my soul, and in turn, our homeschool.  Before I could even begin to think about embodying love, piety, and honor for my children my own virtues need reordering. The deep dive into the poetic, classical Christian education laid out in The Children’s Tradition has done just that. 

It begins with a Preface that sets the urgency for the Credenda and Praxis which in turn whips the parent ‘into shape’, making sure we begin this education endeavor correctly: at the mind of God. From there Amanda leads us into the company of old friends (although I hate to admit some are new to me); the good books of wonder and truth. We’re shown how classic books can easily fit into a daily routine that is both accessible and realistic with the provided purchase guides, weekly timetables, and term schedules. 

Simply put, The Children's Tradition is the 21st-century family’s ‘wardrobe’ to the liberal arts.
