What happens when family read aloud time just isn't working the way it used to?! 😩 What happens when a homeschool family of bookworms stops reading books all together? Can we still find ways to share stories and our love of books?!

With college kids, busy teens, and medical needs taking lots of our time last year, we didn't often find time to read together as a family. But in this video I'll share ways we've still found ways to share stories and build our family culture this past year and a few of the books that have made that possible!

💗New here? I'm Amy. My husband, John, and I are 2nd-generation homeschoolers to five children from 10 to 20 years old, including two homeschool graduates! We adventure together in NC where we pursue a restfully-classical education filled with books, conversation, and not-so-occasional nerdiness.

If you hang out with me for any length of time you’ll quickly learn that she loves overflowing book stacks, giant mugs of coffee, beautiful memory work, and silly memes.

I encourage homeschoolers through my “Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology” podcast, HumilityandDoxology channel here on YouTube, and at HumilityandDoxology.com.

I believe that the best education is the one that leads to a humble view of one’s self and a glorified view of the beauty of God. I encourage homeschooling mamas that faithful consistency and wonder-filled exploration are not mutually exclusive. Our family’s homeschool prioritizes relationships over checklists, and we believe that beautiful words are more valuable to memorize than inventories of facts.

Ultimately, I'm convinced that Gospel truth alone saves us from endlessly striving and the fear, worry, and anxiety of wondering if we (and our homeschools) are enough.
