Well ladies, it’s not even the first of the year and I have already messed up 😆 Turns out I only have the first half of Little Women (the early years) and that’s what I used to plan the schedule. So, be patient with me and we’ll just take longer than planned to finish Little Women 😊 But maybe go check your copy to make sure you have the entire book 😉

I just finished up. Thanks, again, Jordan for the audio link! That helped me finish it up quickly. Fred is my favorite character and my goal is to be more like him, not letting others diminish my spirit or have effect on my attitude in life! I also love that when Scrooge came to reconcile with him, there was not a moment of hesitation! Fred heartily welcomed Scrooge into fellowship.

Over all, a great little read. Short, sweet, and to the point 😊

We are finishing up Christmas Carol this week (or you can take the rest of the year, if you like 😊)! January 1 we will start Little Women, so make sure you have your copy 😊

I love when authors can’t help but foreshadow. You can almost feel their excitement! Looking at you page one Shakespeare reference 😏

I misspoke. I planned this week to finish Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning. There are some helpful things after the last chapter, so take this week to finish those up and we’ll jump in to the Christmas spirit next week! Can’t wait!

We’re finishing out the book this week ladies!! Next week we’ll start Christmas Carol and then January 1, we’ll start Little Women!

Yay! Glad you’re joining us Leah!

Jaime, Doug Wilson has a couple great books on Christmas and several podcast episodes/videos on the topic as well. He has really helped me see the importance of celebrating Christmas! This was my first time reading Dickens as well. While I like his writing, I still prefer Austen or Brontë. I found myself getting a smidge lost with Dickens.

Something very encouraging: Doug helped start the Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS). They accredit and hold accountable Christian schools who join the association. Looking at the map of all the schools in the country, it is obvious parents are unsatisfied with the state of private schools and are willing to put in the work to change the situation 👏🏻
