Hi Lauren, we are SW of the Twin Cities – south of Prior Lake/Shakopee. I was just in your neck of the woods this weekend for the MACHE conference. 🙂 For co-ops, when you join MACHE, they have a listing of co-ops throughout MN. I had a hard time finding co-ops around my area until I joined MACHE. And this year there were so many co-ops in the area, it was a little crazy! 🙂
MACHE is a wonderful organization to join, and I agree with Sara B. that they are helpful in finding support groups or co-ops though I haven’t found a Charlotte Mason co-op. I really enjoyed the conference in Rochester and seeing Simply Charlotte Mason there along with Sonya, Doug, & Karen. I picked up some more Picture Study Portfolios. My husband and I live in Minneapolis near the downtown area with our four children. Our oldest DS is 9.
Sara, yeah I missed out on the MACHE conference this year. I have a nursing baby and just figured it would be too difficult to really focus on what I needed to do. So is next year’s in Duluth then? I just joined MACHE and contacted some co-ops so I’m excited about that.
Yes, MACHE is a wonderful organization. Yes, Lauren, it is in Duluth next year. It rotates every year (Rochester, Duluth, Minneapolis, Rochester, etc).
@johnnyyvette, I’m in the metro and I haven’t found any CM co-ops either. We’ve tried a couple of co-ops over the years but the educational philosophy didn’t match with mine. I met a lot of wonderful women, though. 🙂

I live in Minneapolis and love SCM! My husband, being a technical geek, is always impressed with Doug’s technology updates to SCM. He also appreciates the e-books so that our bookshelves aren’t quite so full.
I love when we can get out of the city to do some nature study outside of our small backyard or neighborhood park.Amber, I am going to that Nancy Kelly seminar next week! I am embarrassingly excited. Anyone else going?
We live in Lakeville and this will be our first year doing solely CM. we have a 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 yr old kiddos. I’d love to meet at a coffee shop sometime just to connect with any other moms in the area (Farmington)? Let me knowing anyone is interested. I am hoping to attend the workshop, just sent an email for more info!
