I’ve been trying to put the phone down more and pick up miscellaneous books more. Including the one that resides in the Master Bath. I really like Marilyn Chandler McEntyre’s writing. I loved her Caring for Words in a Culture of Lies and have been rarely reading What’s in a Phrase? Every time I pick it up,…

I wrote this post for the @CharlotteMasonIRL prompt for the week about burnout, but after I published it, I realized it really fit in this Word for the Year [conform] series on my blog. It is important to know to whom we are [conform]. The Bible makes it clear that we are no longer to…
For Today… Looking out my window I see the happy lights we’re leaving on the deck. They make me happy. I am thinking that it’s late to put this post together, but so be it. I am thankful that I got my grocery order placed. Hooray Kroger ClickList! You are my friend. One of my…
We had another really solid week of lessons to finish out our fifth week of the term. Four days of Whatchamacallit, which is my goal. They weren’t necessarily the best Morning Times ever, but they were good and we got a good deal of work. We’re almost done with our memory passage in John 14….
I’ve been reading Andrew Murray‘s The New Life as part of the Humble Habits ecourse work. It has been incredibly helpful and encouraging. I ordered it because when I googled ‘conform to Christ’ it came up as one of the top recommendations. I’ve heard of Murray before as solid and worthwhile and Mystie so enjoyed…
I’ve posted about our “Keeping Hour” a little bit in the January Our Weekly Amble posts. I took the idea entirely from my friend Mariah Kochis who I met on Instagram. As a part of Charlotte Mason IRL, I have had the privilege of seeing how many people do their keeping and when Mariah presented…
For Today… Looking out my window … the sky is as white as the ground. It’s all one color with flashes of pink in the clouds. I am thinking … about listening and hearing. I’ve been convicted about actually listening to my children’s narrations from last week’s Charlotte Mason IRL study of Narration. In many ways,…
I think we had a pretty good week. We had Whatchamacallit three days, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. With February beginning, we end our “review” month and begin folding in some new content – picking up on Bible, Catechism, and Poetry that weren’t quite memorized. We sang a new hymn – except it wasn’t new (I…
Sadly, I don’t even have a quote from Crazy Busy because I’ve been crazy busy. I almost forgot to post the linkup on Wednesday. That would be a travesty, but I didn’t and even though it’s almost 8 pm Eastern, I hope you’ll still link your posts. Love y’all. ‘);
For Today… Looking out my window … there’s a soft, rosy glow slowly filling the Eastern sky. I am thinking … about our slower than usual Monday, but still all of the things that need to be done. I am thankful … for a productive weekend and a blessed Lord’s Day. One of my favorite…
