It is a free Charlotte Mason method homeschool cirr. website that we use to get it done. They both are essential for doing CM with ease:-) Although at 2 you have a few years, just read a ton now.

Especially the fact that you and the hubby took time specifically to pray about this. I've been hearing much about about Charlotte Mason and recently ordered some materials so that I can get more familiar. Awesome! Love this.

We began home educating in 1986 - our three children are now adults - and our journey began with a statement of belief about education and what we wanted to achieve over the next dozen or more years. Every year I would reread our homeschool philosophy and be heartened that we were slowly achieving our goals. Our statement of philosophy helped to reassure me through moments of doubts, reminding me of why we were travelling this unusual path. All the best!

It was great to read your HS philosophy. We share the same views on HSing. My wife and I graduated our two sons last year from homeschool high school. Now we are looking for ways to encourage families to homeschool through high school. We have a lot of great resources on our website and blog, including a great free newsletter. Keep up the great work. The rewards are eternal! Matt www.TheHomeScholar.com I found your blog on my blogroll. It was great to read your HS philosophy. We share the same views on HSing.

I just found your blog on smart moms- smart business and I am very impressed! I too and a homeschooling mom. You truly said it right in your Home School Philosophy. I believe God commands us to teach our children ourselves and that he give us all of the attributes required to do so. Home schooling has been a challenge for me considering my patience is about a centimeter long! But I wouldn't have it any other way. I appreciate your thoughts! Tina http://www.clubcandles.com WOW!
