Hey there!

 

Welcome to Eventide! I began this little Charlotte Mason blog because my family blog kept getting overrun with Mason’s ideas and my yammering about our home education experience. So, I moved all of that talk over here.

My name is Mary, and my husband Michael and I love using Charlotte Mason’s method to educate our seven children. We have graduated our oldest, and she is doing well at college this year.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy this blog!

My Talks from the Living Education Retreat

I’ve decided it would be alright to share these talks with those who want to easily find them. I have met so many wonderful people over these past few years, and I am very grateful for your comments on these talks.

Thanks to my kind friends Nancy Kelly and Art Middlekauff, I am able to share my talks from past Living Education Retreats.

For my talk on Simplicity in 2017, you can follow this link to Art’s post on Charlotte Mason Poetry.

For my talk on Trusting Mason’s Method, from 2018 you can follow this link to Sage Parnassus.

Thank you Nancy and Art for sharing these talks!
