My oldest is soon to keep a commonplace journal, and I was searching for advice on introducing the concept or examples when I ran across your blog! :) Thanks (once again) for sharing!<br /><br />Sunshine,<br />Beth AnnBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751547455880621719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-47988133193099670242012-01-25T06:06:16.709-08:002012-01-25T06:06:16.709-08:00Dear Erica,

I really appreciate the point of the parents setting the example and then the children will take it as a normal thing to do. So I need to get started!Erica @ ChildOrganicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01216771657180412345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-10254040679413459932012-01-05T12:52:15.617-08:002012-01-05T12:52:15.617-08:00I learned about your blog from Richard K.

I've been using Evernote to "file" my quotes in general. I like that they are all in one place and I can word-search them. http://twitter.com/Skoobwoman <br />.Lauren alberthttp://twitter.com/Skoobwomannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-30577799857939166512012-01-05T10:39:22.511-08:002012-01-05T10:39:22.511-08:00I love this.

I just got a journal for my oldest to use as a commonplace book, which will double as handwriting practice (since we want it to be beautiful and neat). She's excited that she gets to choose things that are meaningful to her, and it will be great to have such a lovely keepsake.Stephaniehttp://www.revivingmotherhood.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-32947769674698852492012-01-04T07:49:32.771-08:002012-01-04T07:49:32.771-08:00Hi Nancy~

I can't wait to read about your commonplace book ideas for younger children.<br /><br />I recently read Carry On, Mr B and really enjoyed it, and I've been thinking to look for a bio of T Jefferson. I just ordered the one you mentioned.<br /><br />Thanks again ...Glory Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816481384773698544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-3768520830326687872012-01-02T10:04:56.659-08:002012-01-02T10:04:56.659-08:00Hi Nancy:

I write in the margins of books, and underline passages that I want to add to the collection. Currently it consists of two volumes with about 500 pages each. Quite a treasure.<br /><br />I've written about Commonplace Books on my blog, www.marksinthemargin.com and in recent books, A Commonplace Primer and earlier In the Country of Books.<br /><br />I appreciate your beautiful posting on the subject, one that isn't often blogged about. Thank you very much.<br /><br />Richard Katzev,<br />rkatzev@teleport.comRichard Katzevhttp://www.marksinthemargin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-5902448571569742622011-12-31T07:55:49.540-08:002011-12-31T07:55:49.540-08:00I enjoy reading my great-aunt's common place j...I enjoy reading my great-aunt's common place journals about the everyday. Written so small in tiny journals I need a magnifying glass. But learning wonderful things about life when my mother was a child, from her aunt's perspective.

I thank you for the nudge to encourage my 13yo to start a commonplace book. I think she would enjoy it very much (and her future self will enjoy it as well, years down the road).<br />Here's to a great 2012!Charlotte Mason in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745354878221696596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-79462480588161136432011-12-30T15:43:47.471-08:002011-12-30T15:43:47.471-08:00I started another Common Place Book in a journal f...I started another Common Place Book in a journal from a son's girlfriend that had TO BE OR NOT BE from Hamlet on the leather cover. Started with several books : Socrates in the City by Eric Metaxas, Belief by Francis Collins , Right Ho, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse. Putting a link to this to my FB page for my high school tutorial!
