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.

Mere Motherhood - An Uplifting Read

Reviewed in Australia on 2 July 2019

I loved this memoir! It is witty, intelligent, heartfelt and helpful. The wisdom and humour had me nodding my head, shaking my head, and laughing or crying my head off. But it touched my heart more. Thank-you Cindy.

Wish I read this sooner! My friend let me borrow this book and it sat on my shelf for months. I finally bought it and LOVE it! Cindy is so great and her love for her children is so obvious. I left feeling encouraged to be, not only the best mum I can be but also homeschooling teacher! :)

Inspiring!

Cindy Rollins paints a candid picture of life homeschooling multiple children in the midst of a challenging, providential life. I love the way she weaves her narrative with quotes from scripture and many good books. It is clear that words and language are a large part of her life and philosophy of education.

True to life!

Reviewed in Canada on 30 January 2018

What I loved the most about this book is the truth in it. I really felt like she just told her story the way it was; without editing. As a mom of nine children myself, I could relate to so much - even the run down farm and the rodents! Thank you for the inspiration to keep going!

An honest memoir of a mother

Reviewed in the United States on 20 August 2018

Verified Purchase

First, I buy (and read) a LOT of books, mostly from Amazon. Mere Motherhood is the first book (for that matter, any Amazon purchase) for which I’ve written a review.

I really thought I was too cynical (and probably burned out) to read another parenting (or homeschooling) book. I was wrong. Years ago, I read Cindy’s blog faithfully, and shamelessly copied her fabulous ideas. She’s about 10 years ahead of me raising children, and she succinctly understands where I am. I read the whole book tonight, utterly inspired. A few pages in I decided to not highlight but read as quickly as possible (I can read it again to highlight, I quickly decided). Halfway through, I had my phone in one hand, filling my Amazon cart with her suggested resources (I already owned a lot of them). I love how she can interweave Wendell Berry, Scripture, CS Lewis, and LI Wilder references. “God was God and I was not.” “We’ll always have Narnia.”

Finally, I think it’s a fascinating memoir of one person’s mothering journey for any other mother to read, whether she’s just starting out, totally fledged her nest, homeschooled or not.
