MAMA, GO OUT AND PLAY. ๐ŸŒฟ Charlotte Mason understo MAMA, GO OUT AND PLAY. ๐ŸŒฟ
Charlotte Mason understood something we mothers so easily forget:
We need to be nourished, too.
She wrote:
โ€œLet the mother go out to play!โ€
The Charlotte Mason community often calls this idea Mother Cultureโ€”the practice of continuing to nourish our own minds, spirits, and lives while we pour into our children.
For me right now?
I rebound. ๐Ÿ˜‚
Morning and afternoon, right there on our deck, with worship music playing, fresh air in my lungs, and Godโ€™s creation all around me.
And you know what?
I feel ALIVE.
Sometimes caring for ourselves isnโ€™t about escaping motherhood.
Itโ€™s about doing something that makes us joyful, energetic, curious, creative, and fully alive.
Mama, you are not just the person who makes sure everyone else is okay.
Youโ€™re a person, too. โค๏ธ
So I want to know:
How do YOU play?
What makes you feel joyful and energized?
Go outside. Read the book. Dance. Garden. Walk. Paint. Sing. Jump.
Whatever it isโ€ฆ
GO PLAY, MAMA. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’•

Our Artza Box arrived, and this one feels like it Our Artza Box arrived, and this one feels like it was made for our family. ๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ
A little piece of the Holy Land delivered right to our table!
This box is filled with treasures inspired by Israel and its rich biblical historyโ€”from a beautiful biblical mosaic crafted by Israeli youth with special abilities, to zaโ€™atar, a Mediterranean artisan spice blend, a little bottle of sesame, and the most beautiful Jerusalem half-shekel replica.
Thereโ€™s even a beautiful book about Esther and the Persian Empire, a fragrance diffuser, and a gorgeous mug with the blessing from Psalm 29:11:
โ€œThe LORD blesses His people with peace.โ€
As someone who has been so deeply impacted by our time living in Israel, I love finding ways to keep those memories alive in our homeโ€”and even better when those little reminders also introduce our children to the history, culture, art, and biblical world of the places weโ€™ve studied.
This was such a fun box to open. Every item has a story, and I can already see several of these making their way into our homeschool and our family conversations. ๐Ÿ“–โœจ
Come unbox the Holy Land with me! ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ

We donโ€™t learn about Canada only from books. We e We donโ€™t learn about Canada only from books.
We experience it. ๐Ÿ
We swim in its lakes, paddle beneath its mountains, walk through its forests, watch its wildlife, visit its historic places, and learn the stories of the people who have called this land home.
These past few days at the lake have reminded me again how deeply geography shapes our relationship with a country.
I donโ€™t want my children to know Canada only as the name printed on their passportsโ€”or as a list of provinces, prime ministers, dates, and facts to memorize.
I want them to know its landscapes.
Its people.
Its stories.
Its beautyโ€”and the difficult, complicated parts of its history too.
That is why I created my new guide:
๐Ÿ How to Build a Rich Canadian History Homeschool Curriculum
I gathered the Canadian history resources I have spent years searching for, including:
๐Ÿ“š Canadian curricula and history spines
๐Ÿ“š Living books and family read-alouds
๐Ÿ“š Biographies and historical fiction
๐Ÿ“š Geography and nature resources
๐Ÿ“š Indigenous-centred stories
๐Ÿ“š Picture books for younger children
๐Ÿ“š Canadian homeschool bookshops
๐Ÿ“š The simple, literature-rich curriculum weโ€™re using this year
My hope is that this guide will help you build a Canadian history study that brings your children into a living relationship with the people, places, stories, ideas, and landscapes of this country.
From sea to sea.
And there is still time to enter the 2026 Back to Homeschool Giveaway inside the post!
FOUR families will each win a $200 digital gift card to the homeschool curriculum or supply company of their choice.
Youโ€™ll also receive access to the FREE 2026 Homeschool Resource Guide, featuring more than $1,000 in resources, discounts, savings, and special offers.
โฐ The giveaway ends TONIGHT, August 12, at 11:59 p.m. ET!
