A Charlotte Mason Moment:
“Let the mother go out to play! If she would only have courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favorite book, or in a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed (without the children), life would go on far more happily for both children and parents.”
