I homeschooled nine children for over 30 years using Charlotte Mason’s timeless ideas. As I gathered my family for Morning Time on a regular basis, I realized that the routine had become a regular practice & pattern that carried love and life to my children. The things I discovered in Morning Time were the very best things, and those things have proven to endure in their hearts as well as mine.
Over five weeks, we’ll build community together with Morning Time (a regular gathering focused on remembering – Scripture, songs, poetry, works of music, art & stories). As I like to say, community is something we build while we’re doing other things. While we’re doing the work of learning, growing & being a part of one another’s lives, a community grows with a shared common culture.
I hope that while we’re together we can see one another in different seasons of our lives, be an example to one another and help one another, hold one another as we adapt to change as women.
I look forward to a great time of discipleship with you this summer!

He looks for mysteries, plays with ideas, and seeks connections in all he sees.
