Whether it’s the holidays or the start of the year that’s just around the corner, you know what that means: gift-giving time!

Living books are clearly a must-have in any Charlotte Mason homeschool, but it\u2019s not always easy to ask for books from family members who may not be familiar with the philosophy.
