My youngest just went to college this August but our Charlotte Mason homeschool years are some of the fondest memories of my life. I have carried the highlights of her routine for many years even incorporating some handicrafts into my own own "empty nester" days. I make candles, paint, play piano and today I dried orange slices for a Christmas tree decoration. Her routine brings calm yet purposeful meaning into any season of life.
I can echo your comment. As a retired Charlotte Mason homeschool Mom, I still live the same lifestyle that we implemented with our children. Her principles have become a part of me. Loving nature, working hard, resting well, journaling, the love of books and beauty....⭐
Mother Culture changed my life, truly! My approach to homeschooling and intentional habits making... I'm so happy you're sharing CM with your audience!!✨️🙏
This was a delightful video. Your son photobombing in the kitchen was especially delightful when you smiled upon realizing what he had done. So sweet. ❤
I absolutely love Charlotte Mason. The things I like most about her routine are the way she breaks up her day between work and play, and taking time out for a nature walk.
Wow!! My treadmill time FLEW by today 😅 and was thoroughly enjoyable!! What a lovely episode, Jennifer, and YES, I'd love for you to do a video of another daily routine! What fun, and what a fun way to learn about different routines and eras. Absolutely 5 star!! Thank you so much - it's a great idea to try it out too! Have a super day 😄🌺
I love this! I actually used this method when I homeschooled my 3 children and it was a wonderful experience…especially the reading aloud at night! Thanks for all you share Jennifer!
I too enjoy going to bed around 8:45 pm and dipping in and out of the seasonal books which I keep on my bedside table. For the autumn season I like to read a few haunting tales, poems about nature in the Autumn, Persuasion by Jane Austen which I read every Autumn, and I often have an audio book on the go as well. Right now it’s Hallowe’een Party by Agatha Christie which I admit is a little disturbing for bedtime listening. I’m rereading Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier which is my current haunting read. I’ve become a real DuMaurier fan in part because of visits I have made to Cornwall England. I’ve just finished Frenchman’s Creek which was quite an adventure if you like reading about pirates! So I do like Mason’s 8:45 pm reading routine especially in the Autumn as the days are growing shorter and shorter. 🍁
This was a lovely video! Yes, please do another routine. It was so interesting. The dress was beautiful on you! I can picture you wearing it with a wide brim black and white hat at a British style wedding 😊
What a beautiful video Jennifer! I really enjoyed this! My children are now grown but I homeschooled for seven years and we followed Charlotte’s plan especially regarding nature and art. She is an inspiration! And so are you! 💕
Feeding the birds in the winter is a delight. Where we live, we need to wait for the bears to go into hibernation before we can feed them and need to stop about mid-March.
Here in northern Wisconsin we also limit our bird feeding during the warm months. It is uncomfortable having bears in your yard and annoying when they break your feeders. Nature watching is wonderful but be safe, people. 🙂
Did Tasha Tudor have a daily routine? Charlotte Mason was a lifesaver for me whilst homeschooling. ❤ I live in TN so we have much better weather. lol But I am outside daily. I have to be. It grounds me. I'm actually learning how to start feeding the crows that visit me daily. 😊
Hi Jennifer! WOWWW!!!! SOO fun!!! What an interesting way to spend your day...like a grown up unit study!! I also loved how you filmed yourself talking on your walk! I so appreciate how creative you are and can't wait to see you again tomorrow! :) Also, for what it's worth, I think it would be fun to see how Louisa May Alcott spent a day! Have a great day! With love, Kellie
My friends and I have a CM book club, we are CM homeschoolers, and CM honestly changed my entire perspective on parenting and education. With that said, I am not a purist. She didn’t have children of her own, which means she never had a schedule that involved pregnancy, nursing, and childcare. Her educational methods are for all income levels, but it’s clear that it’s assumed most people she talked to would have had a servant or 2 or at least a housemaid. Also, she ran a school where there was schooling 6 days a week, and again, cooking and cleaning or working an extra job were not on the list. I truly love this video though! Thank you for introducing CM as a person to people! I actually found your channel from your videos talking about life advice from Farmer Boy and Little Women. I read Little Women after that, and I fell in love with it. It has become my favorite fiction book of all time thanks to your videos!
Reading Charlotte Mason's volumes changed my educational life as a piano teacher, and they've slowly been changing my personal life as well. Thank you so much for sharing!
“My Dear Susan, I always thought you a woman of admirable good sense, and I rejoice to see marriage has not spoiled you” 😂 (I was reading over your shoulder a page of that book of letters.)
I loved this! I own many of her books and cookbook, and have used her method to homeschool all three of my boys who are now all grown. I think it is so interesting to walk in the footsteps of people long ago. I would love to see you follow the routine of the Edwardian Lady, Charlotte Bronte, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Louisa May Alcott, or LM Montgomery. Some of their heroines would be fun too!
Here in E. TN I don't go out in the afternoon without a big sun hat and a lightweight long sleeve shirt to keep the hot sun off my skin. It makes a WORLD of difference!
I found this video to be interesting. I like how you introduced Charlotte Mason and decided for fun, to try it out. I also like how you made it work for you. ❤
I loved this video, Jennifer! You are a true hero for going out for a walk in such heat! Here in Belgium, we have already closed down our pool for the season and enjoying the start of autumn. Are you thinking of Jane Austin's routine next? :)
This video was great. I have so much work on my plate but this video shows the wisdom of breaking up your day to include breaks with nature and reading. Thx ! Also , i just returned from California- the mid day sun is hot . 🥵
I enjoyed your video and getting to know a bit more about Charlotte Mason. The idea of doing a famous person’s daily routine reminded me of Nathaniel Drew’s series three years ago where he would follow someone’s daily routine and explain why he chose that person. It was very inspiring to see him do the daily routines of The Dalai Lama, Maya Angelou, Picasso, Einstein, Frida Kahlo, Van Gogh, etc.
What I really love about Charlotte Mason's routine is the appreciation of time. Her life was punctuated by simple actions (reading, walking, eating ...) fully satisfied. Thank you very much for sharing this video.
This makes me smile! I've been watching a handful of your videos lately and kept thinking, "I bet she's into Charlotte Mason." ❤ Our homeschool is CM inspired, and her book Ourselves has had a huge impact on me personally. I love that you did a video on her routine!
Oh I love this video Jennifer! We do Ambleside online. I have a year two and a year four. We love CM. I agree with the comment below. Mother culture has truly been a blessing to my life as a stay at home and homeschooling mother. I was reading one of her books and Shakespeare this morning and it’s such a treat!
Thank you so much for your calming videos i always get such joy when i watch them especially on mornings i have a day care and i always make it vital to either listen to something or watch something that puts me in the right mindset to be best i can be for my little ones and you bring so much calm and happy energy thank you!!!! 😊 ❤
Jennifer, what an amazing video. Thank you for taking the time to make it for us. Your dress is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing the various books too. ❤ Charlotte Mason's routine is certainly fascinating. I do love all the reading times as well as time outdoors.
Loved this video, Jennifer! What a fascinating idea, to follow Charlotte Mason’s routine for a day! 😄 A dear out-of-state friend and I have our own little book club, and we’re about to re-read Mother Culture, which always makes me think of Charlotte Mason. 🤍
This was such an interesting video Jennifer! As you say it's good to see how people from bygone era lived. I love how you used every part in the same way albeit updated lol. I've never thought of this but I might try this too 😃 thanks for the idea xx
What fun! You really observed her schedule with intentionality and whimsy! I have tried on her schedule before and it really is interesting to follow rhythms of someone you admire and respect. There are lots of reasons why it works or doesn't work but it is still fun to "walk in someone else's shoes" sometimes. Our family is reading "Swiss Family Robinson" in the evenings. Sayers is my classic detective read and I have a few others going for morning and tea time. Charlotte is such an inspiration for living a literary life, among other things. Cheers!
This was so fun to watch! We've been using Charlotte Mason's philosophies in our homeschool for many years. I was fascinated by Richele Baburina's articles on her trying of Charlotte's schedule for a month and have thought about it off and on ever since I first read it. The varied reading really stands out to me and just that she was so intentional about her days.
I loved this and would love to see more like it! Thanks! I also like the idea of breaking up work and play/relaxation (especially reading with family time and alone) and hope to incorporate that more myself 😊
I loved this video. I also have a lot of books I'm reading and I like the idea of doing the varied reading along with the Bible and a biography every day. . I'm going to adopt this too. Thank you for all the videos you share on UA-cam. You are one of the people that make UA-cam such a valuable platform.
We had a Charlotte Mason homeschool experience. It was lovely. My young adult children still reminisce on the afternoon tea, poetry, and read aloud. The narrations and copy work did their work. All of them are great communicators with a rich vocabulary. They comment on the things they “know” that their peers seem to have never been exposed to. What a lovely way to learn. I know you are enjoying it. I miss it and remember it fondly.
This is so interesting! Like you, I lived and studied in France in college and had a beautiful experience. I have read all of your books…multiple times. Thank you!
Beautiful video! Jennifer, have you ever thought of wearing a huge sunhat and sunglasses when you go out in that sun? I never go out without my hat and sunglasses and it feels so much less hot.
I like this routine, I would switch the afternoon walk and the morning letting writing, it's still hot here too. My favorite parts are the bits of reading throughout the day! I really enjoyed this video ❤
Loved this video! (I love ALL your videos!) Yes, would definitely love to see you follow another famous person's routine. This is such a neat way to layer the past over the present and see how the two meld (or not!)---and so fun for those of us who wish we were born Victorians !
Really enjoyed your Charlotte Mason day. I love Karen Andreola's "A Charlotte Mason Companion" too. Have you read her new book, "Michael's Gentle Wife"? Such a cozy read! My homeschooling days are long gone, but I appreciate so much of what Charlotte has to say about living in general. Her ideas are also valuable for me with my ten grandchildren, all of whom are homeschooled. I am also reading The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry - just started Part 3 and I find it a very worthwhile read. Again, thanks for sharing your day.
I love CM and this video! So inspired to give her routine a try now. Thanks! I loved Andreola’s book too and am slowly reading Home Education. Have you heard of The Children’s Tradition? New curriculum CM inspired + Classical, based on John Seniors 1000 Books list… I’m just in the early years and don’t need to start formal lessons yet but it looks like a fabulous spine for curriculum.
This is such a lovely video! My fondness for Charlotte’s routine would definitely be centered around her nature walks, though I definitely feel your pain regarding your 2:15 pm walk in So-Cal…Ohio summers are not much better (oftentimes they are much worse if humidity is involved 😬🥵). I have to know where you got those adorable toad tea party stickers?! 😍🐸☕️🫖
Loved the Charlotte Mason routine. I'm glad that you're enjoying the John Mark Comer book. That one was life changing for me. I'd love to know which Londontown shade your nail polish is.
What a fun video! It is a way to play. I LOVE this idea, and now I want to try it! Charlotte Mason inspires our homeschool too, and so I might try this on an open Saturday (our Sabbath time) as well. I think this is a great series to keep trying. What about the past Queen Elizabeth's schedule, or did Emily Dickinson have one?
I love to see you getting in jammies early. That is such a pleasure to me. I also love how refreshing your new mural is along with those checkerboard pillows. It feels a little Alice in Wonderland to me!
Lovely video. I really enjoyed it and I'm so glad you put the links to the books down below. I read a lot of fiction but occasionally I feel like I need to stretch my brain with nonfiction and these sound perfect. Thank you!
I love your pool and it looks like you have a water slide? If so could we see your kids having fun going down the slide? It would be so much fun to see that!🫠
I also recommend the books by Karen Glass when learning about Charlotte Mason. She has one called Consider This, and another called Know and Tell, The Art of Narration. And the podcast The New Mason Jar by Cindy Rollins. I used Ambleside Online with my children.
Could you do a video where you discuss what you give your children for meals most days and when they go to campus? I am often put off by the sandwiches discussed by most food blogs. My husband and I have been eating low carb/high veg/lean protein in the past year I notice your diet is similar since you began intermittent fasting a few years ago. I often just pack my husband dinner leftovers for his lunch and that works well.
Did Charlotte Mason have household servants? I liked how her day was broken in a variety of tasks with reading throughout the day. But I have cleaning, laundry, yard work/gardening, meal prep and clean up each day. There is a variety and each day looks different. My husband and I are retired and have part time jobs. I know my day is more slowly paced than you young mothers with children. Thanks for the interesting video.
I absolutely loved this.I also have two or three books reading simultaneously,the Bronte sisters Oxford edition,and the Oscar Wilde complete works are my Autumn stables.I take a walk every day,much later because its still very hot in Greece.What about Jane Austen's routine?😊😊

Mother Culture was so great too!
I am currently reading Mother Culture. It's so inspiring and encouraging!! ❤
I’ve always been fascinated by the daily routine of C. S. Lewis. I’d like to see you do one on his routine.
Is that the one he describes in Surprised by Joy? His ideal one? I loved that!
I’d love to hear about that!
I love that idea of ringing the wind chimes after the bird feeder has been filled. I’m totally doing that from now on!
I did it again today! 💫
This was a delightful video. Your son photobombing in the kitchen was especially delightful when you smiled upon realizing what he had done. So sweet. ❤
I absolutely love Charlotte Mason. The things I like most about her routine are the way she breaks up her day between work and play, and taking time out for a nature walk.

I absolutely love that black and white ensemble! So elegant!

I am recently retired and trying to come up with a new daily routine...This has given me some inspiration on "trying on" another's routine!
What a beautiful video Jennifer! I really enjoyed this! My children are now grown but I homeschooled for seven years and we followed Charlotte’s plan especially regarding nature and art.
She is an inspiration!
And so are you! 💕
I love her art study ideas. That's a bit like what we do with the Seek Out the Arts series!
Feeding the birds in the winter is a delight. Where we live, we need to wait for the bears to go into hibernation before we can feed them and need to stop about mid-March.

Oh, Louisa would be a good one! Thank you, Kellie!
LOVE the idea of Louisa May Alcott’s routine! 😄
This was absolutely delightful, Jennifer! Thank you!
Thank you, Lynne!
I really love your casual, unscripted updates to the camera on your walk! Feels like a relatable slice of life. 🥰
I like how she took time for herself to read and go outside. ❤
What a fun experiment! My husband has mentioned that Winston Churchill had an interesting daily routine also. Might be fun to look into! 😊

Hi Jennifer, I love everything about her routine. Unfortunately I work out of the house, but will try it on the weekend, and thank you for sharing 😊
I love reading aloud to my kids. We just finished Rifles for Watie. It was so good
Here in E. TN I don't go out in the afternoon without a big sun hat and a lightweight long sleeve shirt to keep the hot sun off my skin. It makes a WORLD of difference!
Same here in St. Louis.
This was such fun watching. Loved that she worked but also took time for herself.. 😊
I found this video to be interesting. I like how you introduced Charlotte Mason and decided for fun, to try it out. I also like how you made it work for you. ❤

Charlotte Mason has changed the lives of many a homeschooling family, including ours.
I love the reading out loud(I mean I do like the sound of my own voice anyway) 😂 📕 🗣️ thank you a Jennifer!
Love John Mark ! Practicing the way is great too.
This makes me smile! I've been watching a handful of your videos lately and kept thinking, "I bet she's into Charlotte Mason." ❤ Our homeschool is CM inspired, and her book Ourselves has had a huge impact on me personally. I love that you did a video on her routine!
I love the idea of changing up your schedule it's important for mental health I think. And I love that dress with the Pearl buttons it is beautiful!
This was fun to watch. Thank you. I hope you do more like this
Yes, I would enjoy more of these
Oh I love this video Jennifer! We do Ambleside online. I have a year two and a year four. We love CM. I agree with the comment below.

This was a terrific segment. I'd love to see more of these. Thank you
This is so interesting! Like you, I lived and studied in France in college and had a beautiful experience. I have read all of your books…multiple times. Thank you!
I used the Charlotte Mason theory to homeschool my youngest son. Her approach enriches everyone’s life. This was a fantastic video!! -Melinda 💕
Beautiful video! Jennifer, have you ever thought of wearing a huge sunhat and sunglasses when you go out in that sun? I never go out without my hat and sunglasses and it feels so much less hot.

How funny! My husband and I are readying Comer's book currently as well! :D
Thank you so much, that was such a treat to watch!
Thank you, Konrad! My nephew loved his card!
I just loved this!! CM is truly as inspiration 🫶🏼
Loved this video! (I love ALL your videos!) Yes, would definitely love to see you follow another famous person's routine. This is such a neat way to layer the past over the present and see how the two meld (or not!)---and so fun for those of us who wish we were born Victorians !
This was so interesting! You inspired me to get creative w my routine. Thank you!

I love Charlotte Mason. I’m reading Home Education right now. I was so excited to see this video pop up!
I loved this! It was really fun to watch ❤ thanks, Jennifer!
I LOVED THIS!!!!
This was very nice! And good for you, in finding something positive in your hot walk - you still were able to enjoy it.
So fun, more routines would be great!!
This is my 24th year homeschooling.
Charlotte Mason influenced me so much!
I love CM and this video! So inspired to give her routine a try now. Thanks! I loved Andreola’s book too and am slowly reading Home Education. Have you heard of The Children’s Tradition?

What a fun idea, loved this. Seems like a creative way to break up the ruts we get into.
Great video… would love to see others like this.
What a fun video! It is a way to play. I LOVE this idea, and now I want to try it! Charlotte Mason inspires our homeschool too, and so I might try this on an open Saturday (our Sabbath time) as well. I think this is a great series to keep trying. What about the past Queen Elizabeth's schedule, or did Emily Dickinson have one?
Tasha Tudor, for sure.
I adore the navy outfit with white trim!!
I love to see you getting in jammies early. That is such a pleasure to me. I also love how refreshing your new mural is along with those checkerboard pillows. It feels a little Alice in Wonderland to me!
Loved this! Jane Austen routine would be fun!
Lovely video. I really enjoyed it and I'm so glad you put the links to the books down below. I read a lot of fiction but occasionally I feel like I need to stretch my brain with nonfiction and these sound perfect. Thank you!
I love your pool and it looks like you have a water slide? If so could we see your kids having fun going down the slide? It would be so much fun to see that!🫠
Hi Jennifer , I enjoyed the video, as always.
Your son is adorable!
I loved this! Maybe you could do a read-aloud series for us?
I also recommend the books by Karen Glass when learning about Charlotte Mason. She has one called Consider This, and another called Know and Tell, The Art of Narration. And the podcast The New Mason Jar by Cindy Rollins. I used Ambleside Online with my children.
Lovely vlog. I really liked the GOELIA dress!
Could you do a video where you discuss what you give your children for meals most days and when they go to campus? I am often put off by the sandwiches discussed by most food blogs. My husband and I have been eating low carb/high veg/lean protein in the past year I notice your diet is similar since you began intermittent fasting a few years ago. I often just pack my husband dinner leftovers for his lunch and that works well.
I would say I still eat a lot of carbs... Definitely not low carb. Thank you for the request!
How fun and inspiring! I might try a Charlotte Mason-Inspired day :)
I loved this so much!
I also follow Ambleside with my children!❤
Did Charlotte Mason have household servants? I liked how her day was broken in a variety of tasks with reading throughout the day. But I have cleaning, laundry, yard work/gardening, meal prep and clean up each day. There is a variety and each day looks different. My husband and I are retired and have part time jobs. I know my day is more slowly paced than you young mothers with children. Thanks for the interesting video.
You can listen to audiobooks while doing your tasks. I'm 53 and have really found this a boon to my creativity and an energy boost.
Good video. So interesting to follow a routine from the Victorian age and compare with today's routine. Thanks for sharing.
Another lovely one! Thanks. 🥰 Do you use the dinner size plate or the luncheon size plate at lunchtime?
And do you have the whole Spode set or just pieces?
I absolutely loved this.I also have two or three books reading simultaneously,the Bronte sisters Oxford edition,and the Oscar Wilde complete works are my Autumn stables.I take a walk every day,much later because its still very hot in Greece.What about Jane Austen's routine?😊😊
Great video! I hope you do some more famous peoples routines. 😁👏
