Who am I?
I'm Amy, a reluctant homeschooler. I didn't intend to homeschool my kids, but a less-than-ideal school situation prompted us to consider it. I was terrified at first, with visions of tiny desks in a dank basement and me standing at a blackboard all day. Then a friend said, “Oh no, all you have to do is read.” That statement changed everything.
We made trips to the library and checked out dozens of books at a time (multiple library cards made it possible). We spent our days together on the couch, reading, reading, reading. Living books saved me. I hold them entirely responsible for educating my 4 kids in their younger years.
