The Best Charlotte Mason Homeschooling Blogs

Ranked #918 in Education, #21,451 overall

Blogging Homeschool Moms who use a Charlotte Mason Philosophy

I enjoy reading blogs. That peek into another mom's daily life offers inspiration and focus. Yes, in fact, I am doing enough in our homeschool. Or perhaps, no, I'm not doing enough in this area, but this blog gives me some great ideas for how to get on track!

Here are my favorite Charlotte Mason themed blogs. The authors are all homeschooling moms who know what they are talking about. These are not theorists but daily practitioners who don't gloss over the realities of educating your children at home. They may blog about other topics, of course, but CM's gentle style of home education permeates their posts.

My Favorite CM Homeschooling Blogs

victorian flowersThese are my own favorites, chosen without any voting or official rating system. These blogs are ones that consistently impress me with being real, with being true to CM ideals, and with offering a heavy dose of inspiration. You know, the kind of blog that leaves you thinking, "I could do that!" And then you do!

I'll change out the blogs listed here as I find new ones to feature.

Keep reading for a sneak peek at each blog. Then click over to see what goodies await in their archives.

Important!

Charlotte Mason blogs have their own carnival.

    If you haven't, you've got to check out (and add!) the blog Living Charlotte Mason in California to your list. It is a joint blog of several women in a group, and full of such great ideas. They've been featured a couple of times in the CM carnival, and *I think* should be added to your list. (BTW, I am not one of the ladies in the group. I live an ocean away.)
