:: 
As you begin wrapping up this year of homeschooling and looking to the next, are you considering what kind of tools you could add to your home education toolbox that are inspiring, educational, and nurture you in living out your vocation to home educate in your Catholic home? Look no further! Let me tell you a little about my favorite resource - mater et magistra - a magazine for Catholic home educators!
See that bin full of magazines above? That's how long I've been collecting this amazing resource - since before my oldest daughter was born!! LOL!!! My mom received them and would pass them along to me. I saved every one; they are like treasures that I turn to now for wisdom, inspiration, and ideas! Each magazine comes with a pull-out unit study section in the middle - these are amazing!!! There are book reviews, nature study ideas, expressions from other families living out this vocation letting you know how it *looks* in their home...and so much more! Do check out the many free articles available on the site! One of the free articles available is a recent article I wrote entitled, Passport to History. In it you'll find some ideas, links, and resources for building a history program!
If you look closely at that image above and the most recent issue displayed in front of the bin, you'll notice that's my name on the cover. I'm still amazed! I'm writing for mater et magistra! What a joy and a privilege to share with you all through this resource that has blessed me so much through the years!
Because I've been so blessed and nurtured by this resource, I'm going to offer two give-away subscriptions to mater et magistra! That's right! If you don't subscribe, but you'd love to receive this great magazine supporting and inspiring Catholic home educators, here's your chance...
** Leave me a comment below letting me know you'd like to enter the drawing. Please leave me contact information in the comment so I can contact you if you won (I'll need some address information to get the latest issue out to you!)
** Comments are open and entries will be accepted from April 15 - April 23.
** Two winners will be announced on the Feast of Our Lady of Good Counsel, April 26!!
If you aren't one of the winners, please consider this opportunity to subscribe to mater et magistra so that the coming issues can bless your home education journey! Speaking of...the summer issue will be all about *JOURNEYS*. That's all I can say...but I promise it will be great!!!
Edited...I wanted to add a link to the new mater et magistra blog! Be sure to check them out for interesting and pertinent links and timely information about this amazing resource for Catholic home educators!
