“Thought breeds thought; children familiar with great thoughts take as naturally to thinking for themselves as the well-nourished body takes to growing; and we must bear in mind that growth, physical, intellectual, moral, spiritual, is the sole end of education.”
― Charlotte Mason

What language are you studying on Duolingo? I was doing so good at getting on every day and practicing French (my husband lived in Quebec for 2 years and learned French there, so I'm trying to learn so we can go back and visit!), but I haven't done it in months and months. I need to get back in the habit!
I took Spanish in high school, so I'm trying to remember everything I learned way back when! The list of other languages is so tempting, though… 🙂
Yay for celebrating Lucy 🙂
