About
“I am, I can, I ought, I will.” – Miss Charlotte Mason
WELCOME to the AMBLEcommunity blog.
The AMBLEcommunity is a group of Tulsa-area home-educating families who work together to insure that our children receive an Abundant, Moving, Blessed, Living Education. We go on field trips, have park days and nature study picnics, gather as families for fun, meet to discuss Charlotte Mason’s ideas for education, and just enjoy doing life together.
The purposes of this blog are
- to share news about upcoming events
- to record our adventures
- to narrate what we are learning as we study Charlotte Mason’s ideas
- to share resources
- to review living books
AMBLE:
Abundant: marked by great plenty, amply supplied
Moving: actively achieved … exercising body as well as mind … visiting, traveling, working, ambling along
Blessed: enjoying with our children nature, art, music, poetry, craftsmanship… enjoying life with each other
Living: based on the best books … living books … and on relationships within the family and outside of it and driven by the Jesus, the Author of Life
Education: learning to know
The Leadership Team

We decided to homeschool before my first child was 3. I came to Charlotte Mason through my good friend Christa back in 2005 with the reading of Catherine Levison’s A Charlotte Mason Education. I knew this was the way I was going to accomplish the task of educating my children. Gently, richly, and beautifully!

We decided to home educate before we had children. When our oldest son was born with extraordinary challenges, we became more determined. As we added each of our five sons, we continued to live our educational life. Even during our two dark, grieving seasons, we all learned something every day. While intentional schoolwork is important and highly valued in our home, we also learn from each other and life experiences. Though approach we have found beauty in the darkness, in the light, and in each other.
I’m interested in becoming a member and participating in your group activities. Do you have a contact person?
Thanks so much,
Nell Bewley

Hello, I am new homeschooling mom of 3 (5 yr old, 3 yr old, 6 month old) and I am looking for a support group of like-minded homeschoolers. Are you accepting new members and how do I visit your group?
Hi Toni,
If you are in the Tulsa or surrounding area, sign up for our yahoo group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AMBLEcommunity/ . We communicate through the group list, which is where you can see when and where people are meeting around town. We have regular moms group meetings and family park days where the kids can play. Hope to hear from you soon on the yahoo list!–Donna
