Oh I love this letter. Last time you published it I print it and it is on my bulletin board. It is encouraging to me for my kids even though they are not homeschooled and it inspires me as a lifelong learner.
Oh how I wish I had this advice when my children were young and still at home. Would you please share your syllabus with us as so we can study too. Can you share your recommended list of 'must reads'?
"Wait, so becoming Catholic was the cheat code to making Classical education make sense?" because in the context of the Mass, feasts, etc... things like Latin, artwork, music, etc... seem relevant instead of like I'm cramming a square peg into a round hole. I've always been a "Latin is just for pretentious people" in my secret heart of hearts, but I might change my tune. I'm having these lightbulb moments, like when I pulled out the arrangement of Ave Maria I sang for choir auditions at one point, and "D'oh! That's Latin for "Hail Mary". Anyway, I'll just be having synaptic explosions all year while we talk about art and music ;)

I love that, Lacey!

I can do that sometime when the dust settles on the start of the school year + my book manuscript it turned in!
I completely understand. Thanks
Yes, to the rightly ordered loves!
Me coming into this school year:

Um…. YES. I had that exact same revelation a few years ago too. 🤯
