There is an obsession with health, and rightly so. Americans are among the unhealthiest people on the planet. We spend billions chasing after the "magic pill" of health only to be disappointed and worse off than before. The truth is that health is not for the select few, it is for everyone. Join me today for a look at what is really possible for every one, every day.

The Charlotte Mason educational philosophy is fairly prevalent, and often diluted. I was attracted to this philosophy from the beginning, but it seemed to good to be true, so I didn't. Now in my last season of home educating, I decided that I had nothing to lose; I didn't want to have any regrets when I finished. This year is our first year of implementing the full feast.
