Scholar Queen
Once upon a time in the kingdom of Scholarship there lived a queen who knew that in order to reign in her kingdom she must be a scholar. Somehow she had missed that training, now she must make due and try to catch up. So she went to the royal advisers, the women in her local book group, but their advice was conflicting and she went away more uncertain then before. How could she attend to the affairs of state with her husband, the king, instruct the royal children in the ways of scholarhood and become a scholar herself? What is the nature of the “scholar mom” and can she or should she “do it all”? What is her Happy Ending?

Martha,
Thanks for your comments at the forum! They were just what I needed. It is exciting to look at my family through the "classics" perspective.
Martha,
I have not been able to attend the forum or other things you have presented at yet, but I am consumed with the questions you pose above and I have wanted to get your perspective on them for a long time. I'm working harder than ever on my own education, yet my family doesn't seem to be following suit and I am stymied as to how to inspire my children and also enjoy them like I should! I would love to hear your thoughts on these things. Are you still in Cedar City? Can we talk sometime or email? My email is alysiahumphries@msn.com
I purchased your talk on the scholar mom from AYLI and LOVED IT. I came looking for more and found just the one post. Is there one somewhere else you write more on? marnisueh@yahoo.com
