Empty Shelf Challenge: Do Hard Things
I’ve finished my first book for the Empty Shelf Challenge. The challenge is to shelve the books you finish between December 24 and the end of this year, not those you start and finish, fortunately. I started this book a while back. I’m reading it with my daughters, and we’ve been hard-pressed to find […]

Fine Arts Friday: New Year, New Stuff
Cribbed from The Common Room’s Facebook Page — a thoroughly likable page. (Hint hint.) “‘Education is the Science of Relations’; that is, that a child has natural relations with a vast number of things and thoughts: so we train him upon physical exercises, nature lore, handicrafts, science and art, and upon many living books, for we […]

Unresolved
New year, new me, blah blah blah. I’m not resolving this year. Not because there aren’t things that I shouldn’t start doing or stop doing or do better or whatever, but because frankly I don’t need the pressure. I thought about it. I asked myself, “Self, where do you want to be a year […]

Emphasis on happy
I was reading Dave Barry’s hilarious if depressing Year in Review when I started wondering if anything good happened last year. Because I don’t know about you, but 2013 kinda stunk up the joint as every year in review article has emphasized. So I went on a hunt for some good news so that “Happy New […]

Mythbusting the 12 Days of Christmas
On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me the ability to reason. Not really, it’s five golden rings! The only verse anyone consistently remembers other than the partridge in a pear tree verse. You may have seen the true meaning of “The 12 Days of Christmas” bit passed around, particularly if […]

Resolution season approaches!
We’re approaching the season of resolutions and challenges. Gyms are running deals, diet programs are buying extra ad time, self-help/life coaches/ and gurus are gearing up for the season of building a better you. At least for January. I like the idea of resolutions, but frankly, New Year’s resolutions do it all wrong. Most of […]

Fine Arts Friday: Let the children play
This is not a regular Fine Arts Friday post. I’m not looking at a particular artist or composer, a method for studying nature, or why or how to incorporate handicrafts. It’s really not fine artsy at all, but it does encapsulate Charlotte Mason’s belief that “Self-education is the only possible education; the rest is mere […]

No peace
Peace on earth. Silent night, all is calm. Tranquility is one of the marks of the Christmas season, but it seems this year there is very little peace on earth. In America, Christians worked ourselves into a frenzy over a magazine interview this Christmas season. Meanwhile, our family around the world goes to Christmas services […]
