Maureen over at the Trinity Prep School has a post called Seven Habits of Highly Effective New School Years. Trinity Prep School is her home, as Maureen is one of the growing number of Homeschoolers in the United States. Homeschooling is not very common in England - sometimes people are surprised to find that it is actually legal. The seven habits are suggestions by Maureen who is inviting other homeschoolers to do their own lists. She has, in the process compiled a list of Homeschooling blogs. Families in England who are thinking of homeschooling might find this list helpful - look up a few blogs, look up their links ... you'll have loads of information in no time.
I found Maureen's blog after following up a link on my site stats. It turned out to be a post on a homeschooling bulletin board group from my sister, Jane, in Birmingham. From there, I found Mary Vitamin at the Castle of the Immaculate (what a fantastic name for your home!) and then on to Trinity Prep.

Dear Father,
I was delighted to add your blog to my bloglines list after reading Jane's post at the homeschool message board, 4Real. The Hermeneutic of Continuity is a beautiful Catholic blog.
Thanks for the link to Castle of the Immaculate.
At my blog, look for the link to a yahoo group called Mary Vitamin which provides a daily Marian meditation by email.
Ave Maria!
Helen (or Mary Vitamin)
Great to hear from you, Helen. We have the Day with Mary in my parish each year, run with the help of the Franciscans of the Immaculate. I have also spoken a couple of times at the Co-Redemptrix Conferences and met the legendary Fr Peter Damien Fehlner. They are great people and show a real hope for the Church.
Ave Maria!
PS - I've put you on my blogroll too.
Well Father, ... it is a small world. I have the book Mary at the Foot of the Cross V. I'll be sure to read your article "Belief in and Devotion to the Immaculate Conception in Medieval England."
I also agree that Fr. Fehlner is legendary. He has spoken at our last two Franciscan Third Order meetings. He gave an incredible talk on the [Marian] role of St. Clare in the Franciscan order.
Ave Maria!
Helen
