Information and Inspiration for Parents and Teachers

I was thrilled to make Circle of Moms’ Top 25 Homeschooling Blogs for 2011 and Top 25 Homeschooling Moms for 2012! I discovered yesterday that Living Montessori Now was nominated again! Thanks so much to the person who nominated me for Top 25 Homeschooling Moms 2013!

This was our Montessori homeschool classroom when Will was 6 1/2 and Christina was 1 1/2. The tables, chairs, shelves, and materials were from the Montessori preschool I had owned previously, compressed into a smaller room.

I really appreciate the extra publicity to help introduce more homeschoolers to Montessori techniques and principles and to have the chance to encourage more parents who are thinking of or are already homeschooling their children. I love telling other parents that homeschooling really does work.

I homeschooled my children through high school, and they now have bachelor’s degrees. They both had straight A’s and wonderful university experiences. And my adult children still have a love of learning … thanks especially to Montessori education, unit studies, and a relaxed style of homeschooling. They also have successful careers, happy marriages, happy family relationships, and plenty of friends. Homeschooled children do grow up to be amazing adults! If you’re wondering, here’s a bit more about my family.
