I have been thinking about education and studying Charlotte Mason's ideas. I found a place to download her original writings from the 1880's. I will read her writings this year. If I want to use her ideas, I will be able to start with Weston next year.
The site I found is truly amazing. It is a group of ten homeschool moms who educate their kids with the Mason method. They have organized and designed a website to help other moms.
It is completely free and they have each year preplanned and with the click of a button you can find almost anything you need there! They have book lists, ideas, artists, music, science all there. Another amazing thing is that they found so many online downloadable books, art prints, and music. With the click of the mouse I have what I need here, even in the frozen tundra!! :)
I do think that children should have real books and be able to hold them, understand how they work and follow along, but sometimes having the no bookstores or libraries here make the online features very useful!
So if you are interested in reading about Charlotte Mason, downloading her writings or her homeschooling methods check out

I'm so happy you have found help in cyberspace to educate Weston and Sierra. It sounds like a great tool to add to what you have.
You're amazing Becca Boo!
