Call For CM Submissions & Catch Up
Posted by Cindy on December 30, 2008
Alrighty ladies, Christmas is over and the New Year celebrations will soon be a thing of the past, too. That means almost all of you already have your wheels spinning about homeschool plans for the new year to come. I’m ready to include all your wonderful ideas in the next Charlotte Mason Carnival! (Um, that means I need you to write a wonderful post and submit it! LOL)
If you happen to have CM writer’s block, I’d like to pass on a few ideas. Why? Because these are things I’d like to read about! 
- Some of the best living literature you’ve read with your children.
- Homeschooling CM style with toddlers in the house.
- How you organize your family’s chore time (habit training.)
- What you plan to do for winter nature study.
- What didn’t work last semester and what you’re doing to tweak it.
All your submissions need to be in to me by MONDAY, JAN 5 at 8:00pm EST (preferably much earlier!) Oh, and encourage others to submit when you see a good blog post! I’m looking forward to all sorts of entries flooding in over the next few days.
Now, on to other things. Like many of you, I haven’t posted much lately because of Christmas celebrations and family time. I thought I’d include a few pictures to show you some of what we’ve been up to the past couple of weeks.
Christmas, of course. I just loved this picture of the big kids digging under the tree while Eli had this look on his face. “What in the world are they so excited about?”
A really cold day (seven degrees) with our single paned door looking cold, but beautiful the next morning.
A really warm day (seventy degrees) where we were able to go on a comfortable winter nature walk.
And a trip to the Creation Museum with grandparents and cousins.
I could keep going on about three different Christmas celebrations, after Christmas shopping, working cattle, doctors visits and such, but I’m sure your story is similar to mine and you can fill in the blanks! Have a wonderful start to your New Year!
Hi, Cindy
This is Jacci from The Educational Life. Not sure if you remember me or not – I’ve been on bloggy hiatus for almost a year now. But, I’m hoping to get back to a limited blogging involvement soon 
I actually had to take The Educational Life down. I’ve started a new blog, though, and moved most of the old posts over there. It’s called Understanding Charlotte and I hope to get a post up on that blog today for your carnival
This carnival was just a little gleam in my eye when it started. I’m so glad to see that it has continued and that it has been a blessing to lots of CM moms!
Thanks so much for hosting it and keeping the ball rolling!
I’m looking forward to reading more of your posts
Blessings,
Jacci
The link I’ve provided in my name will lead you to the CM carnival post…I of course will add the button to that as well.
Thank you and I can’t wait to read some wonderful posts!
Happy New Year to you! I hope you have a wonderful one.
