Poetry Tea Time is an opportunity to gather your children around the table, enjoy a cup of tea (lemonade, juice, hot chocolate, etc.), read together, and enjoy deep conversation.  Poetry is a perfect thing to read during tea time because poems are often relatively short and great for discussion.  It is a time for connection and fun.

Instagram post 2140173294753944163_2263400667 How is your school year going?  This has been our best school year ever!  My kids agree.  The difference?  I decided to jump in and go full-on Charlotte Mason.  I had followed some of her methods before, but this year I jumped in with both feet.  A huge part of knowing how to do that was this conference right here.  It was a game changer.  You can bet that I will be watching the sessions again throughout the year and every summer as I plan my upcoming year.  This week only the price is slashed to $15.  If you want a more peaceful school year and to truly enjoy what you are called to do, please check this out!
