You may have an oil addiction if you have wholesale memberships with two different brands.🤷🏻‍♀️ I LOVE them both (for different reasons) and I don’t care who knows it! 😂 I’m not really “selling” them anymore. Not sure it’s my calling. But I love sharing how much they’ve helped our family and supporting friends. I can direct you to two fabulous oily mamas who know way more than me if you have any questions.😍 One has helped me with my anxiety and female probs and the other with pain and fatigue. 👵🏻 I’ll add something to my order if you need anything and ship to you free of charge. Or send you a sample if you want a sniff test. 😘 Gotta share the love. I challenge you to do something sweet for a stranger today! HAPPY ❤️ DAY! #doterra #youngliving #oilytribe

We had big puffy snowflakes coming down today. ❄️ Sadly none of them stuck, but they were beautiful to watch fall. It reminded me to repost our January stack of books on the blog. (Linked in profile) ☃️

We finally took down our tree. ☹️ I think this is the longest we’ve left it up. I gotta say, it’s been nice having a little twinkle and greenery to contrast these grey January days that are so cold and dreary. ❄️ While my Florida blood still has not adjusted to the climate change, I am finding winter to be my favorite season to homeschool. Our to-do list is short and our calendar is empty. With very few distractions... we get a lot of school done while we hibernate. Actually a huge chunk of our schooling is done in the winter months. ☃️ #winterschooling #yearroundhomeschooling #hibernatemode #slowseason.

Poetry, Hymns, and Scripture add so much richness to our homeschool day. Here are some of my favorite poetry books. And some helpful advice I discovered on Simply Charlotte Mason: “Recitation and Memorization: Poetry is also memorized and recited in a CM education, though not required of a child younger than six. In Charlotte’s schools, “Repetition” was on the time-table daily for twenty minutes each day, alternating between poetry, Bible, and hymns. Children under the age of twelve would learn to recite a poem of choice, a hymn, Psalm and two passages of 6 verses each from Scripture or poetic prose per term. Form IIA (approximately 10-12 years old) would memorize two Bible passages of 20 verses each as well as three poems per term in addition to hymn repetition. Students in Form III might recite 150 lines of poetry and 60 Bible verses in a term or two passages of 20 verses each from their Bible reading, two hymns, two Psalms and either two poems of 50 lines each or a scene from Shakespeare. ✨ Poetry recitation is not just parroting back a poem or imitating Mother’s reading but should be the interpretation and expression of a poet’s thoughts rendered in such a way as to convey the poem’s overall meaning to the listener. Attending to clear enunciation and correct posture, poetry recitation lays the groundwork for public speaking. Memorization remains an enjoyable process through simply reading the poem through in a beautiful manner one or two times a day and aids the child in the habit of making mental images. The memorization of poetry and Scripture can be likened to the planting of seeds that will yield good fruit in season, perhaps by providing comfort or inspiration at another time. ✨ *Recitation should not be burdensome or laborious. *Reading a poem once or twice a day to your child is enough for the memorization of shorter poems or segments of longer poems. *Older children can read the poems aloud to themselves throughout the day. *Do not hurry a memorization. *Though improper pronunciation and posture should be corrected right away, the child should “find the just expression of thought for himself” - Richele Baburina ✨ #charlottemasonpoetry

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
