A Large Room

These guest posts represent feet on the ground. It does not need to be, nor should it be, perfectly written or "perfect" Charlotte Mason (though it does need to be assuming a heart towards Mason's methods). You don't need to sound like you know everything. Your philosophy does not need to be thoroughly flushed out. You don't have to have all your dishes done, have been previously published, own seven chickens, or know how to make sourdough bread. But you CAN have all those things and write about them, too. Submissions are not, and will never be, about obtaining any standard of perfection. They are about the reality of living life, building families, growing character, and doing the hard thing of educating our children at home.

Enjoy the collection of posts in CPQ's Large Room, and consider sharing with us, too!
