dear miss mason

I think one of my favorite things about homeschooling is the ability to tailor it to your family; the way it can grow along with your children.  Our family relies pretty heavily on a blend of classical education and charlotte mason. 

So I just want to take a morning to say it:  Thank you Miss Mason.  Thanks for that awesome book you published in 1886.  Thanks for the amazing ideas you packed into it.  Thanks for encouraging us to get outside for hours on end, for the habit of attention, for short lessons, Bible study, handiwork, and living books.

Thanks a million.
