It has been awhile since the last\u00a0Ideas Worth Sharing (IWS) gathering post. Here are a few things I’ve enjoyed\u00a0over the past few weeks. But first, let me give you the link to the Mighty Mug giveaway <\/a><\/strong>\u2014 I’ve had a ridiculous amount of fun testing it, and the company was nice enough to offer a $30 gift card so one of you can win your very own tip-proof mug. Scroll down for\u00a0my review and photos of where I tested it below. But first: tidying, musings on a Charlotte Mason education, a great book list, a Ted talk, and some very odd maps.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>\"\"I rarely read books that make the best-seller list, but The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up\u00a0<\/em><\/a><\/strong>kept cropping up in conversations, so I finally cracked and bought a copy. Marie Kondo’s method is definitely unusual and in some ways reflects her Japanese life and heritage, but the principles are easily\u00a0translatable to other life situations. Since fall is the time when I usually have a bit of energy, it’s my primary tidying time, so I’m having fun applying a few of her techniques. If you struggle with too much stuff (such a first-world problem), I think you’ll find this useful.<\/p>\n

Remember, a Charlotte Mason education<\/strong> is\u00a0Not Just for the Children<\/a><\/em>, but that’s something that’s easy to forget. Those of us who are graduated homeschool moms will especially appreciate Joy Shannon’s post at the Charlotte Mason Institute.<\/p>\n

36 Books Every Young and Wildly Ambitious Young Man Should Read<\/em><\/strong> from The Art of Manliness<\/a>: This blog is is a must-read for men, but I’ll confess that I like it too. There are quite a few books on this list that I’ve enjoyed, and a few new ones to check out.<\/p>\n

And just for fun, here are\u00a032 Maps that will Teach You New Things<\/a><\/strong><\/em>. It would be fun to go through this post, one map a day. Believe me, there is a lot to learn!<\/p>\n
