If you've ever considered the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education, you should be familiar with this list. If homeschooling is new to you, read on, as the adoption of these principles in your home and parenting can change your life. At the beginning of her Home Education Series, Charlotte Mason lists what she calls "a short synopsis of the educational theory" which she presents in her books.

Several years ago, before my children were of school age, a friend who happened to be an experienced homeschooling Mom lent me the the book Charlotte Mason Companion: Personal Reflections on The Gentle Art of Learning by Karen Andreola.

I am learning all kinds of things about Charlotte Mason's methods, all...

On Fridays, Clark is home from his Preschool, so I have started to incorporate a little homeschooling into our routine. At this point, I am casually introducing some early training for successful habits. The one thing I've heard over and over and over again from Moms hesitant to homeschool is that they "don't have the patience." Well, friends, I have the least patience of anyone I know. However, I don't actually believe that lack of patience is a reason not to homeschool. When we put in the effort to train our children while they are...
