Read Home Education by Charlotte Mason. I didn’t have much to go on for how to parent and raise children as a SAHM when I quit the workforce. I had a hard time figuring out what to do, how to lay down the rails and train them, and didn’t know about CM… I found Home Education at my library and it made so much sense to me! I would have raised my kids a lot differently from the start if I’d read it when I was preggo or when they were very young. It has been so informative to me. And congratulations! Soak it up, Mama! ❤❤❤

I wholeheartedly affirm what Autumn has said here! I recently completed (mostly remotely/from home) a systematic theology certificate from RTS with twin toddlers in tow, and then a nursing baby at the end. If your desire is there for the work, then find your pockets of time and use them wisely and productively. Use a planner or a system of some form to stay organized and purposeful and just do the next right thing each day

Coming back to this video to comment because this was the video that introduced me to your channel. It started for a search for videos about building a reading habit as a mom (no, I don't need a 20-something single guy giving me this advice, I've got 2 toddlers and a house to run, thank you!). Suddenly KZbin thought all I needed to watch were your videos, and 11 of my 12 recommended videos were this channel! My children are not school-aged but my husband and I do agree that they will be homeschooled when the time comes, so I've been using your channel to learn more about Charlotte Mason. I started listening to your podcast this week on my commute, and after sharing the opening episode with my husband we are sold on the classical Charlotte Mason education! Now I've got 4 years to learn about it before I get to start "formal studies," and in the meantime I'm learning how to cultivate habits the Charlotte Mason way. Thank you Autumn for your content. It is the blessing I didn't know I needed. ❤

I’ve just discovered your work and love it! New to Charlotte Mason as well. Have you tried an inductive curriculum for Latin? Cambridge has a “Reading Latin” curriculum that I really enjoyed. Being able to jump in and read immediately helped me a lot with motivation and getting started when I was first learning. There is also one for children called Minimus the Mouse. I’ve not used it myself but it looks very good. So glad to have found your work, my wife and I are hooked!

So happy to have you both around here! I originally started with Lingua Latina and that is inductive. But I didn't love it. I took an inductive Italian language class when I lived in Italy-which I loved-and I think it worked, for me, because I had a teacher who could continue to add context as we figured out what was going on. Without that teacher angle, I was left with too many questions. Now, I'm trying Wheelock's and so far, it's better for me. It may be because I learned Spanish in a similar way, so it's easier to follow.

I found Reading Latin to be a good balance of inductive start with plenty of deductive grammar, vocab and exercises after the initial inductive entree. But Wheelock’s is the go to for a reason, and all that matters is reaching your goal of learning Latin whatever the method!

Late have I loved You, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new, late have I loved You! You were within me, but I was outside, and it was there that I searched for You. In my unloveliness I plunged into the lovely things which You created. You were with me, but I was not with You. Created things kept me from You; yet if they had not been in You, they would have not been at all. You called, You shouted, and You broke through my deafness. You flashed, You shone, and You dispelled my blindness. You breathed Your fragrance on me; I drew in breath and now I pant for You. I have tasted You, now I hunger and thirst for more. You touched me, and I burned for Your peace. -Saint Augustine of Hippo, Confessions, Book 10, 27.38 ___________ "Give me what you have chosen for me and bring about in me what you desire for me." -St. Augustine "Fecisti nos ad te, Domine, et inquietum est cor nostrum donec requiescat in te" “You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” -St. Augustine of Hippo, Algerian theologian, Bishop and Doctor of the Church, born November 13, 354 CE

Hi dear Autumn Thank you for this delightful update! I am so enjoying this series and can't wait to watch your Notion video in Common House. I am interested in the Winters in the World book, but we live in South Africa, Southern hemisphere, full blown summer here. Do you think this is a barrier to reading the book? I loved reading through the Clarksons' month by month traditions and family rhythms in Lifegiving home and wasn't too distracted by the seasonal difference. I think I am asking: "Will my mind be able to absorb the deeper meaning of the seasons 'out of season'?" Thank you for your help. Suzanne
@thecommonplacehomeschool

Oh yes! Winters in the World focuses on how the Anglo-Saxons understood the cycle of seasons and how certain rituals/Christianity celebrated deep relationships and meaning between people and nature. (Many of the traditions are still recognized today!) So it's a historical look at a particular place * and * a conversation about relationships and meaning that all people would appreciate (regardless of their weather!).

As we’ve invested in nearly 90% hardcovers for our library we have a MASS of these covers. I’m always looking for a reason to get rid of them or WHAT to do with them. I hate storing things for storage sake. These covers are also the type of thing toddlers love to remove from books.

I have several resources from the last few years through now that give a peek into how the rhythm looked at various points. With kids, the house rhythm is always changing, and I'm quick to flex and try something new, so I never have a perfectly set schedule for more than a little bit. Generally: Commonplace: Sundays (usually twice a month, more if I can) Mother Academia reading/narrations: early morning before my kids are up Mother Culture: whenever I randomly find a pocket of time and pick up the nearest book Funsies read (usually a novel): last thing before bed Pre-reading for school: did it all over the summer School planning: little bit on Sunday afternoon but heavy lifting was done over the summer Personal scripture: done with the kids during morning prayer

Okaaaay, I love this "of the year" format. Also SUCH GOOD PICKS. I had a "St. Jack" category in my Lit Life last year for CS Lewis and I loved the freedom of reading his works, about him, and works that influenced him.

It's not a weird idea. There's a book, The Well Educated Mind that's basically this. A course of study that's like an Masters in English literature for ppl who have no time or money for graduate school. It's specifically aimed at Classical homeschool moms. I know from personal experience that graduate school is not the answer. You'll just graduate with your PhD after years of misery and then be tempted to go right back to school. Modern academia in the US is nothing like the idyllic picture painted in something like Suprised by Joy about early 20th Century Oxford . Plus the urge to learn and know doesn't just go away. I've kind of been doing this but much less fornally. The last two years I've been listening to 4000 level phycology lectures on KZbin. I've been making a point of reading classics since my mid-20's.

'Tis very good to remember academia now is not idyllic early 20th century Oxford. (You get me.) And yes, excellent suggestion: The Well Trained Mind!

@@thecommonplacehomeschool the Well Trained Mind is the one for educating your children. The Well Educated mind is the one for educating yourself :D I think we all wish we could study in Old time Oxford in small groups with turors and serious fellow students in persuit of Truth, Goodness and Beauty. Ah well. Maybe in heaven.
