I would love to hear everyone's favorite CM quote that convicts you and is always in the back of your mind because it resonates with you so profoundly?

Does anyone have any thoughts on the Story of the World series? I've seen a few things on it, but haven't done a deep dive yet. I've been reading Volume 3 with my kiddos, and we've been enjoying it. We are about to start Volume 4. Thank you!

What’s your favorite curriculum from 2025? I think it would be neat to share that with each other and it might be something that one of us checks out and decides to try!

If anyone has any art resources I would love to hear about them!! 🎨

Happy Monday, Mamas! As the end of the year approaches, it’s easy to feel like you’re limping to the finish line—behind, overwhelmed, and anxious about everything you didn’t get to. In this month's web class, I've invited Melissa McMahan to share on how to reset the tone and finish with purpose. She'll talk about what “finishing strong” actually means for your child’s education and for you, how to protect a calm atmosphere even when you feel frantic, and the hidden factors that make this season feel heavy—plus what to do about them. Be sure to mark your calendar to attend this class! P.S.- if you aren't familiar with Melissa McMahan, here's a little about her: Melissa is about to graduate her fourth of five daughters after educating them with Charlotte Mason principles. She loves encouraging younger moms in the thick of raising their children with practical tips and whatever wisdom she has acquired through her own imperfect experience. She is a podcast guest and conference speaker, and writes for CommonPlace Quarterly. She posts sporadically as CairParavelAcademy on YouTube and Instagram. She lives in North Alabama with her husband, dogs, and whichever children happen to be home.
