Happy Kansas Day!

Kansas became a state on January 29, 1861 so today we celebrate it's 151st birthday!  I am proud to be a Missourian from a line of Missourians, but I must say I love this state that I have found myself in for the last 12 years.  I've posted about this in the past if you'd like more information.

Free Habit Training e-book

One of the most valuable parts of Charlotte Mason's writings for me are the passages on  habit training in children.  Debi Taylor-Hough of Charlotte Mason Home Education has put together a free e-book with all Miss Mason's writings on habit training.  Makes it easy to read and reread which I should be doing!

...I say to myself that hate is too great a burden to bear. I have decided to love. If you are seeking the highest good, I think you can find it through love. And the beautiful thing is that we are moving against wrong when we do it, because John was right, God is love. He who hates does not know God, but he who has love has the key that unlocks the door to the meaning of ultimate reality.
