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.

Thank you to @Beth Howard for teaching tonight's CM Lesson for moms. I highly encourage you to go back to this replay.

If you missed our Charlotte Mason Lessons for Moms session on Monday, you can now watch the replay! @Rachel Byrd led us through both a History and Science lesson — modeling just as we would teach them to our own children — followed by narration and rich discussion. It was such an encouraging time of learning, and a good reminder that our own education matters too. After you watch, I’d love to hear from you in the comments: 👉 What stood out to you most from Rachel’s lessons or our discussion time? 👉 Did anything surprise or inspire you?

CM lessons is starting now! See you inside:)
