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 … it’s still dark, although the navy sky is starting to overtake the darkness. The shining lights on the deck are dispelling gloom. I am thinking … about Mansfield Park which I read over the weekend. It is a re-read for me – my favorite Austen novel – and…
This was not the second week of school I had in mind. I was still pretty sick Monday and Tuesday – and not feeling grand Wednesday through Friday, in fact today was the first morning I woke feeling mostly well. But still with the cough. However, the children all managed to get sick up and…
