BACK AT IT Back at WHAT you may be asking. Well, for me right now the IT is a new home schooling year. As I am writing this, I only have three days until that new year starts.

Stick to IT! Getting Back to the Charlotte Mason Method
Stick to IT! The IT being what you know GOD had directed you to do! Why? Because GOD’s plans are always the BEST plans! I have been inspired by the Charlotte Mason (CM) method since I started home schooling (seven years ago) but I haven’t followed this method 100%. Of course I will never be what some call a CM Purist.

Forming Habits: Daily Checklist for Children
I have posted before in reference to Habit Formation … I think Habit formation should be a very important part of child training. I truly believe that God created us to be creatures of habit because having a good habit just makes things so much easier for us.

When GOD Stirs Things Up
Yes, GOD, my heavenly FATHER, has been “stirring things up” in our relationship. Actually HE has been doing that for a while. For about five years HE has “stirred up” in me a hunger for HIS word that is beyond anything I have ever known in my whole life.
