Charlotte Mason Carnival - Autumn Beauty Edition

Photobucket Photobucket

What a glorious time of year!  In my part of the world, God’s creation is singing in brilliant colors and crisp notes.  In honor of His magnificent show, I thought I’d center the theme around bits and pieces of Autumn Beauty.  Enjoy the wonderful articles!

AUTHOR

  • profileWelcome to my blog! I'm a home school mom to three of the sweetest children - 12, 9 and 2. We use a very eclectic style - mostly Charlotte Mason mixed with classical. We love unit studies, lapbooking and notebooking. And books, books, books! Personally, I love to encourage and inspire homeschoolers new and old.
