Barb at Handbook of Nature Study is hosting this edition of the Charlotte Mason Blog carnival!

I contrived this list using

Laying Down the Rails: A Charlotte Mason Habits Handbook

These are all wonderful habits that we should want to instill in our children.

The habits that I am going to address here, may not be of most importance...

but there is no doubt, that they ensure smooth and easy days!

Because I did not want to reward the kids for doing what is expected of them,

but at the same time, I want there to be an incentive and a time limit;

I have given them a list of my expectations to be done before our mealtime or snacktime.

(sort of like chores on a farm being done before breakfast!)

   
It is also my goal that my children can run the household if need be.
