THE blog

WELCOME!

I’m so happy you’re here! I’m Cassandra, a Charlotte Mason homeschooling mom of three who writes about all-things homeschooling & motherhood. I especially love to share my favorite resources for cultivating a grace-filled and Christ-centered home and homeschool. I hope that while you’re here, you’ll be encouraged and inspired!
