Speaker Workshops

Invisible
Mornings for Remembrance
Part immersion, part philosophy. I walk through a typical Morning Time. I have a book on this subject titled, Handbook for Morning Time.
Homeschool Retrospective: Truth & Consequences in the Charlotte Mason Home
What I did Right (YAY) and what I did Wrong (Ouch) – I will discuss three things that I wish I could change and three things I did right in our homeschool.
Mere Motherhood: Utopianism and Reality in the Charlotte Mason Home
With stories from my own life as a mother to 9 children, I talk about the dangers of Utopianism. The solution to Utopianism is the rest we can find when we seek first the kingdom of God for ourselves.
The Uphill Road

If we do not understand that the road is uphill, we will spend our time and money on the wrong things and we will listen to the voices trying to sell us a fix to a problem that isn’t going anywhere no matter how much money we spend. This talk will bring into focus what education really looks like and why you can be free to enjoy it with your children.

Charlotte Mason and The Habit of Attention: The Secret Power of Knowledge and the Dialectic

How the habit of attention informs every single thing we learn and how synthetic learning is more powerful than analytical learning as a base.
