Chapters 12-15 this week 😊 I am really enjoying Laurie’s relationship with the March family and seeing Jo and Beth grow in character. I also appreciated that by the end of Meg’s trip she saw the value of her home, even though she’s poor and doesn’t have the nice things she wants.

I love in chapter 8 when Marmee is talking to Jo about controlling her temper. She says that it was easier for her to learn to control her temper for her children rather than herself. How true that having children makes us want to kill all of our sin because we want to be the best parents we can for our little ones and not pass on any of our sin habits to them.
And the sweetness of father having a little signal with Marmee when he knew she was about to lose her temper. The devotion he showed in being willing to know her, watch her, and help her so diligently and without harshness.

Did everyone do ok with four chapters this week? Are we up for doing chapters 8-11 this week?

This next week we’re going to read chapters 4-7. Is everyone enjoying the book? I was hooked from page one 😉

Love it! Marmee is so patient with her girls. In chapter 11 when the girls want to just relax and not do any work, she lets them try it out to see how it goes. I would be in full on lesson mode, like let me tell you all the reasons that’s a bad idea 😆 I love learning from Marmee’s patience.

Love this Leah ♥️

I totally agree! Alcott has such a simple way of telling the story, yet it’s so beautiful that you can picture yourself there the whole time.

KC, I just read chapter six and teared up too 😭 Mr. Laurence and Laurie go to so much effort to make Beth feel comfortable playing piano at their house. And they buy her new music 😭 Goodness gracious, how sweet.

I’m so glad you decided to give it another try with us!! You should give the movie another try too 😉 The 2019 version is my favorite but I know a lot of people love the 1994 one the best.

😂😂😂 Perfect for today as I started Beckham’s math lesson with him only to realize he had a cut a large chunk out of his hair 😂🤦🏻♀️ “You’ve ruined me!”

Yay! We’re so glad you’re here 😊
