Today on the front page of Afterthoughts, I've put

Today on the front page of Afterthoughts, I've put up a self-check quick test: three simple questions we can ask ourselves to assess our #charlottemason homeschools to make sure we're keeping on track. It's not meant to be an exhaustive test, nor the *only* test, but it's a set of criteria I found in a recent reading of Parents and Children (volume 2) that I thought might be helpful for all of us.⁠⠀

So go read about it! 😉 DM me if you need the link. 💕⁠⠀

This morning we did a little YouTube tutorial on #zentangle and then used what we learned to decorate our new astronomy notebooks. There is something very satisfying about gold and silver gel pens on black paper! 🌙 ✨

Q-Age-13 working on rank for #kabuto ... she tested tonight. I’m always surprised at her endurance. I would have pooped out after the first 100 reps and she did over 700! 😱

My two older kids had severe food allergies — It

My two older kids had severe food allergies — It took many years of hard work to get them to where they could eat freely (except for gluten, which the younger one still cannot do). My youngest child, on the other hand, is severely sensitive to sugar. When you put these facts together, you get a mother who is very tempted to be controlling of her children's food in ways that could be damaging if left unchecked.⠀
⠀
A-Age-14, though, is old enough to steer clear of gluten without her mother breathing down her neck. O-Age-11 avoids sugar without a word from me.⠀
⠀
The question I asked myself for years was how to help them eat healthfully without making them ... weird. 😜⠀
⠀
#charlottemason taught me that ideas bear fruit in our lives, that they are like seeds planted that germinate and then often (but not always) blossom in time. Sowing ideas seemed a hands-off way to pass on important knowledge without being heavy handed, especially with teens (of which I have THREE) who will have to sink or swim on their own in just a short while.⠀
⠀
People think that my kids eat fairly healthy because their father has a fancy degree -- a master of science in holistic nutrition. He'd tell you it's not him, but rather habit plus our extensive library (much of it purchased for his coursework).⠀
⠀
As I started reworking #circletime for the second half of the year, I noticed it's time for another health read. #westonprice is a classic, and he writes in a living style. It's a great read aloud for older kids and in #morningtime you can even coordinate it with map work sometimes because it reads like a whirlwind tour of the world's healthiest teeth.⠀
⠀
I don't read books to preach to my kids or change their behavior. I read them because they are GOOD books. But it IS fun to see their eyes light up ... in willingness to try a new food or make a wiser choice as a way of applying their new knowledge.⠀

At our last co-op meeting (a few weeks ago) our art teacher @becca_shogren had the children do a special project using their mad #drybrush skills. (I believe @rbaburina had inspired her once again.) The original project was a Christmas card. Q-Age-13 felt so inspired, she came home and started a card factory. 😂 I grabbed one, cut it down into a square, and framed it. Now I have a new Christmas decoration! 🙌⠀
