Just this week I joked with Phyllis that she was part of my continuing education. But it’s true. She and her family do so many wonderful learning activities that truly educate me. Not only in the ways of homeschooling but in the ways of joy. Of making memories. On her blog, All Things Beautiful, Phyllis simply shares. Hers is a window into their family life. Their approach is all about fun – learning about castles by building sandcastles; knights and armor by playing chess; chemical reactions by cooking and mixing household ingredients.
I know Phyllis through the shared Handbook of Nature Study and Charlotte Mason online communities. But you, my friends, get the pleasure of meeting her today. Right here at the start of her annual adventure! Each year, she and her family make a habit of setting aside two weeks for family camp. May I introduce to you, Phyllis…
Phyllis! You are an incredible teacher and mom! I am so impressed with your planning and dedication to educating your children. My daughter Tricia and I so look forward to your encouraging words that you send to us, and I consider you my “daughter of the heart!”
Forever,
Nana (aka Lucia Hames)
What an awesome idea! How neat that your husband gets to be a part of it, too.
I love it. That is such wonderful family time!!! Thank you for allowing us this peek into your home!!!
We have been attending a family camp that our church does for the last four years and have loved it. What a great idea to have your very own, too. Thanks for sharing!
