Wishes and dreams… for my kids and for myself
These past few days have been very interesting for me. My mom has really been encouraging me in my decision to home school, and it has been a great time of growth 
I am reading through Susan Schaeffer Macaulay’s For the Children’s Sake, and this quote described what I’ve been feeling as I’ve researched home schooling and Charlotte Mason in particular.
If I had a second childhood, I should like to be educated her [Charlotte Mason's] way in school. To be respected as a person, to be provided for richly with ideas from outside, and yet to be left to develop myself, according to my own inner resources. All of this within the firm framework of reality. Skills mastered, and yet a feast of interesting ideas to which one could react in one’s own way.
I agree. My parents did a beautiful job in raising me and giving me so many of these things, and I look forward, and pray for the opportunity and ability to continue to give my children the same and much more!
