When I first pulled Alex and Iona out of school I wanted them to have access to ‘teen’ friendly books that had a Catholic worldview. I have always believed that the foundational way we learn is through stories. it is the way people have learned about who they are and what values their community have, probably from the time of Adam.
REGINA DOMAN has written some lovely books which you can BUY HERE. Iona loves the books and I have read them too. Even Josh has read and enjoyed them-although he thought they were a little bit ‘girlie’.
For the younger children we have read ANGEL IN THE WATERS online. I have added the link under Living Fiction in the side bar.
THANK YOU for the award.
LEIGH of Mommy Memoir has kindly offered me the PRIMIO DARDUS award. She tells me that Americans don’t tend to use the word “Twaddle” but thinks they should use it more. I am sure dear Charlotte Mason would love to know her friends across the pond knew twaddle when they saw it. LOL.
God bless Leigh and thank you.

When your kids get ready to tackle history, I suggest you go to a second hand bookshop or online at ABEbooks and get them the works of Henri Daniel Rops which is great Catholic History. In fact if you havent read them i suggest you do it will add a whole new perspective on history. Henri Rops books are actually imprimatured by the Catholic Church
