| Mrs. White's new book about homeschooling. |
With the many changes in our culture and system of educating our children, there is a renewed interest in homeschooling. My new book will help give you confidence and courage in teaching your own children at home.
The book is divided into 3 sections:
1 - Homemaking Foundation
In this section, I share encouragement in housekeeping, old time thrift, chores, a daily schedule, and the sense of peace one can find in simple living. This section will set the foundation for seamlessly adding schoolwork into the day's routine.
2 - Home Studies
This is the largest section of the entire book. I share many old fashioned teaching ideas, suggestions for a basic curriculum, and thoughts on state laws. You will also see a sampling of books found in our home library. This section includes a story about an ordinary day teaching children at home.
3 - Field Trip
I take you back in time on a field trip to Plymouth Notch, Vermont. This is the beautiful village where Calvin Coolidge was born and brought up. We will learn about the neighborhood, the industry of the families, the chores, and what it was like in a one-room schoolhouse. I will even share with you what textbooks were used in this school in the year 1873. You will get a sense of rest and comfort as you read about what life was like in a rural village in the late 1800's to the early 1900's. This was the environment that produced our 30th President of the United States.
I visited Plymouth Notch 3 times as part of my research for this section. I also share several reference notes from a variety of sources. I took a great many pictures to include with this special feature of the book. The rural mountain village is a restful, lovely place.
* The book includes 38 black-and-white photographs.*
As you read this book, I hope you get a sense that, no matter what is going on in the world, every home can be a homeschool.
The book is now available:
Seeking a Thrifty and Simple Life: Encouragement for Christian Homeschooling by Mrs. White
Paperback, 112 pages
ISBN: 978-1-956616-35-4
If you are able to help with getting the word out about my homeschooling book, I would appreciate it so much! Thank you!
Blessings
Mrs. White

Parents and grandparents have always been the best teachers when it comes to their children, I agree. Blessings, Mrs. White!
What an interesting book that sounds. In the UK it is not common to homeschool, though some parents do. I used to teach children who had refused to go to school, and it was interesting to compare their home lives.
With the way the world is now, I'd certainly be homeschooling. It was almost unearthed of when my boys were growing up. I've visited Plymouth Notch. Beautiful part of the country. Vermont and New Hampshire are two of the prettiest states.

Looks good. I am a homeschooling mom of almost 20 years. Our youngest graduates in the Spring. What will I do now? 😊
I don't homeschool anymore but I still purchased your book because I know it will bring comfort, cheer, and good ideas that I can use to supplement my daughter's education. Praying for your son, and for you, Mrs. White!
Dear Mrs. White,
Thank you for another lovely book. I will share the link to it with some homeschooling mothers that I know. I am currently reading House Keeping in Hard Times and am learning so much from it.
May the Lord bless you and your dear family!
