Congratulations!!! It is SO true about your heart expanding to love each child. (I am in the middle of writing a poem about that very thing!)

There are no bounds to Mother-love…cuddle and kiss that baby!

You can order them from Amazon.com, search using "EMI classics." (What I have I've bought locally to support the mom-and-pop business in my community). P.S. I've been reading along, but not posting. Last week our latest, precious bundle of joy finally arrived-Praise God! I admit I did wonder how it was possible for a mom and dad of four or more to love each of their children as much as a mom and dad of two or three. Now I know the answer: your heart gets bigger. I second Jennifer's comment that it is a blessing to have sisters like you who live out the belief that children are indeed a blessing from the Lord. (Oh, and thank you so much for your very frank description of your natural childbirth experience! Very, very, very helpful!) Hi Kelly,

I think you can read all of CM's original "Homeschooling Series" at http://www.amblesideonline.org/CM/toc.html...literally an ocean of information--about life, not just about homeschooling ;-) Jennifer (and anyone else interested)…

Written out in the blog posts it seems less overwhelming. I have been praying and reading about different homeschooling approaches recently (My children are 5 and 20 months) and the CM approach is really speaking to me. I have ordered some children's books from the AO list and added more nature/outdoor time. We have already been doing verse memory, chatecism, and Bible reading. The more I learn about this approach the more I can't wait to be homeschooled right along with my family. PS-I have been reading your blog for a while and praying for a LONG time about stopping all birth control (we used NFP before). My husband's tipping point came after reading your blog (especially the video you posted about population)! That was a few months ago and I am not pregnant yet because I am nursing my 20 month old. Even though I would like to have another baby I just feel so much peace in my heart since recognizing He has a perfect plan for my family's life. Thank you for speaking the truth in love so we can all help each other grow as followers of Christ. In Christ, Jennifer I love this series! Written out in the blog posts it seems less overwhelming.

I recently got married and my mother gave me Mason's book. I'm so excited to be learning more about the method and I can't wait to read the book. Thought it will be a few years before I start homeschooling, I'm loving studying about it now. Thank you for the summaries. They have been very helpful!
