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 about 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 homeschooled her nine children for over 30 years. She is the co-host with Angelina Stanford of the popular Literary Life Podcast and curates the Over the Back Fence Newsletter at Cindyrollins.net. She is the author of Mere Motherhood: Morning Time, Nursery Rhymes, and My Journey Toward Sanctification; A Handbook for Morning Time, and Hallelujah—A Journey Through Advent with Handel’s Messiah and the Mere Motherhood Newsletters.

Her heart’s desire is to encourage moms. She lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee with her husband Tim, dog Max, and however many children happen to be home.
