I was living in Montevideo, Uruguay in March 2025 when I was at a crossroads on having to homeschool my children or continue with their montessori “jardin.” My inner conflict arose from my heartfelt desire to have my girls learn, grow, and blossom according to their individuality; while still being prepared for life alongside their culture (family, ethnically, and nationally) but not feeling adequate nor equipped to do so. I googled homeschooling resources detailed with my desires and one source led to another with Charlotte Mason having been a common mention amongst them all. I tried it and realized it was everything I knew I wanted for my children by keeping first things first AND rightly equipping the mother. It also checked on the boxes on how I wanted to live in and outside of my home. I say that to say the focus on faith, literature, nature, beauty and the balance of habit formation was the perfect homeschooling recipe for me.

Thank you for the invite! I’m looking forward to learning and growing alongside you all.
