It was back in the 1980's when Cindy Rollins, then a new mom in search of the best ways to teach her baby son, first heard of homeschooling. Thirty years and nine children later, Cindy has become a popular blogger, podcaster, and award winning teacher. This is her story. It's a story of big families and cross-country moves, and small-town living. It's about great books and morning times and nursery rhymes. It's the story of a dedicated mother's journey toward the Truth and the family she brought along with her. "Written with grace and humility, Mere Motherhood is packed with insight and perspective only a thoughtful, experienced homeschooling mama can give. It's the kind of book you'll borrow from a friend and never want to give back. I was captivated." --Sarah Mackenzie, author of Teaching from Rest, A Homeschooler s Guide to Unshakeable Peace Cindy Rollins is a mom of nine with over thirty years of homeschooling experience. For over ten years she blogged her way through her efforts to homeschool under the principles of Charlotte Mason and classical education. Today, she is an occasional contributor at circe institute.org, the co-host of The Mason Jar podcast on the CiRCE Institute Podcast Network, & the 2016 recipient of the Russell Kirk Paideia Prize, awarded for a lifetime spend cultivating wisdom and virtue. She lives in Chattanooga, TN with her husband Tim and however many children happen to be home.
