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.

I am trying to think of a couple of fun projects that I can make with my teen daughter this weekend. Do you have some ideas to share? She’s very artistic and I am very NOT! 😂 So I’m trying to think of a couple that are creative without requiring any artistic abilities. Also, can you share some of the movies your family enjoys? Our go to is the Grinch as it’s all of our favorite Christmas movies. My girls have already watched it this year. I have a teenage daughter and three young adult daughters. I’ve got to come up with something or my hubby will put me through watching The Christmas Story again this year. 😂

Hello Mamas! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. I’m excited for what’s ahead in the new year, and I hope you are too! As we prepare to step into this new year, I wanted to gift you with something special. I’ve uploaded all of the sessions from the Habits of the Home Conference for you to enjoy. As we look ahead and prayerfully consider the changes we desire for ourselves and our families, habits are so often at the heart of lasting growth. I pray these sessions encourage and bless you as you begin this new season! - Sessions are located under the classroom tab:)
