Podcast Addicted: The Mason Jar / CiRCE Podcast Network
I have long considered Cindy Rollins one of my Homeschooling Mentors. Her now defunct blog, Ordo Amoris, was pivotal to drawing me away from neo-classicism and into a more traditional Classical educational system via Charlotte Mason. Her book clubs (though I failed to finish a single one with the group) led to some of the…
The Simple Woman’s Daybook for March 7, 2016
For Today… Outside my window…. It’s 50* and overcast. The children think it’s summer and are doing school on the deck. I am thinking… about Truth, Goodness, and Beauty from lots of different reading sources 🙂 I am thankful… that blood transports all the necessary building blocks for our bodies to the right places at…
Wednesdays with Words: Kingdom of Glory and Grace
Another quote taken from When You Pray. This one isn’t from Ryken, himself, but quoted by him. I loved the picture the Puritan theologian Thomas Watson made. When we pray for God’s Kingdom to come, we pray for a present, yet future reality. ‘);
Podcast Addicted: The Scholé Sisters Podcast

But what episodes they are! I love how conversational on really deep topics these are. The ScholĂ© Sisters (Brandy, Mystie,…
Attend! Eyes and Ears
I’m so glad this is Leap Year so I had an extra day to think about what I’ve learned about Attend! this month. Certainly the way we most often use Attend! is in the sense of paying attention. Where we notice, perceive, behold, and otherwise take in information through the use of our senses, particularly our…
Our Weekly Amble for February 22-26, 2016
So today, I debate. Is this Weekly Amble a review of this week? Is this Weekly Amble a review of this term? Is this Weekly Amble a celebration of our first year with AmblesideOnline? Because we did it! We finished Year 4. How thankful I am for all we were able to accomplish this year….
Wednesdays with Words: Teach Think Act
We finished Abigail Adams: Witness to a Revolution as a part of our AmblesideOnline Year 4 studies on Tuesday. I loved the book; I read most of it aloud. I’ve been a big fan of Abigail Adams for years and this book only made me impressed by her more. Oh, she was imperfect, as we all…
Podcast Addicted: Your Morning Basket
As education podcasts go, Your Morning Basket is so helpful. We’ve done Circle Time in our homeschool for years and years. This past fall and now early winter have been our best times yet, and as I’ve been thinking about it, part of it is my easing back on expectations and being more flexible besides. That…
