I am an old~fashioned girl living in a modern world and I am a home school mom of three boys named Cainen (9) Jonah (7) and Hudson (9 months) My passion in life is to raise Godly men with a Biblical World View. We use the Charlotte Mason method. I adore Miss Mason's educational philosophy! We enjoy unit studies, notebooking, lapbooking, timelines, narrations, and lots of "living" books (twaddle free). I love the Lord and His written Word and delight in sharing His blessings of our world.
So commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders.Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.
Deut 11:18-19
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Proverbs 4:23
