Gratitudes June 2020 | The Open Home — For our sweet new addition.

For island life and the freedom to roam again.

For the paradox of the baby years and life with a view.

For open hearts and a welcoming spirit.

For sisterly love and brotherly bonds.

For cloth bottomed babes and joy on my washing line.

These are the inserts from our gratitude journal during June, reminding us that God is good and we are blessed.

What have you been thankful for lately?

Welcome

Hello, I’m Jessica. A minimalist homeschooling mother of two living on the British island of Guernsey. I’m also a nature lover, letter writer and journal keeper that wants to to live life with an open heart. Welcome to my blog.

I am not musical. I can not sing well nor do I play any instruments. Plus, music lessons are pricey and not within our home ed budget at the mo.

Sometimes I wish I could be more spontaneous, carefree and creative in our homeschool. The sort of mum that says yes, pulls out the paints and simply embraces the mess.

We don’t have a dedicated learning space. There are five of us living in a three bedroom house and no spare rooms up for grabs.

I’m pleased to say that despite my indifference to maths in school my girls are both very enthusiastic about it.

I glean most of my inspiration for our homeschool from the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education and the community of Charlotte Mason home educators that I’ve found here in the U.K.

Both of my girls are keen writers, mostly because I’m an avid writer myself so they’ve picked up on my enthusiasm - it’s that art of imitation that I spoke about the other day.

Our Homeschool favourites...

Like many Charlotte Mason homeschoolers we’re very literature based in our approach to our education. I tend to find a great book to go with our topic of study that will really help immerse us in the subject.

It was Charlotte Mason who inspired this idea of parents and teachers striving to be worthy of imitation. It’s a quote I try to live by as a mother and home educator for I know how important my example as a mother and my enthusiasm as an educator truly are.
