Janice's Reviews > Mere Motherhood: Morning Times, Nursery Rhymes, and My Journey toward Sanctification

Mere Motherhood has joined For the Children's Sake as one of my first recommendations for sane, simple homeschooling. It's not another tedious how-to, with day-to-day instructions drawn from someone else's life, but a memoir that shows, rather than tells, some of the realities of living and learning as a family.

Perhaps because we are of the same generation and read many of the same books, Cindy's story parallels my own journey in many ways (minus a few children; plus long-term caregiving). Reading it was oddly like a walk down memory lane. For younger readers, it is a practical, gracious reminder to focus on things that truly matter.
