Secrets of a Successful Homeschool Mom ~
Written by Jamie C. Martin, editor of Simple Homeschool
I‘m so excited to introduce you to my ebook, Secrets of a Successful Homeschool Mom: A Manifesto of Freedom and Joy in Home Learning.
It’s a FREE resource for all those on my email list!
Here’s a description:
“Most of us have at least a few insecurities hidden inside about whether or not we can actually do this homeschooling thing.
It makes sense that we would feel this way–after all, we’ve been taught that education is complicated. We’ve been told that education requires experts, and we don’t always feel like one.
But what if some of what we’ve been taught is not true? What if there is another way—a simpler, more natural way to learn?
What if there are secrets of a successful homeschool mom—secrets we can tap into and use to order our days and our lives? I believe there are, and I wrote this book in the hope that they’ll inspire you the way they’ve inspired me.”
I would have loved this short, uplifting read years ago when I first started considering this educational path. Instead I felt, like many of you, that I was stumbling my way in the dark–learning by trial and error.
At around 30 pages, this ebook is the perfect length to print out, hole punch, and place in a binder to read when discouragement strikes.

A simple guide to finding a homeschool co-op that fits
Yeah! So excited about this as we are just beginning! I’m already a subscriber (my favorite homeshool blog!) so I am off to download it.
Thanks, Jamie, for inspiring us!
Thanks so much for your encouragement, Johanna!
Oh no…I can not find how to download it or the email for it. I am already a subscriber and LOVE everything that you share…
I can’t find the download link either…
I can’t find it either. I was already a subscriber, but resubscribed just in case, but it’s still not there.
Sheilla, Amy, Lauren, and anyone else having trouble seeing it – scroll to the bottom of today’s post, either in your email or in your RSS reader (depending on how you subscribe). You should see a little thumbnail image of the e-book’s cover. The download link is right next to that. 🙂
What she said. 😉
Wow! Thanks so much for your generosity! Can’t wait to read it!
Awesome, I can’t wait to read this.
This comes at a perfect time. Tonight I am meeting with a woman who feels that it is time to pull her 7th grader out of school and bring him home. How nice I can hand her this little bit of encouragment. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your book. I’ve already started it (my kids slept in this morning) and it looks like my education philosophy is close to yours. I’ve already gone back to some of your leadership education posts and started taking notes. I appreciate the inspiration!
I have followed you on FB for a long time and LOVE your writing! Thank you for this offer, as it will be very helpful as we begin our journey into homeschooling our LO.
I can’t wait to read this! I’ve been reading this blog and your Steady Mom blog for the past year now but have never subscribed (prefer to just keep a blog roll that I check regularly). I did subscribe just now though so I can read this! Your writing has been very inspirational for me and I’ve actually been going through your archives on Steady Mom for the past couple of weeks to read more. Thanks! Cheryl
Very excited to go download it…
Looking forward to reading this and sharing it with a friend that is contemplating homeschooling.
I am thrilled to get my hands on this! Thank you! I am considering homeschooling with our newly adopted 2 1/2 year old and am feeling very overwhelmed with the idea, so hoping you will inspire me to jump in!
Thank you for this resource! As I began our second year of homeschooling, I felt the pull to think more deeply about why I do what I do. I’m sure your book will be helpful on my personal journey of discovery. Thank you for making this book available.
Just downloaded your new book! Can’t wait to read it! Thanks so much for being so kind to your readers. I so appreciate both your encouragement, inspiration, and your generosity too!
I do feel like I’m going at this with my eyes closed some days. This is our fourth year and I still feel new. Thanks for your generosity. I know this book will be helpful and uplifting. I am already a subscriber and appreciate your wonderful posts. Thank you.
Thank you Jamie! I am so excited for you and to read this new addition to your list of encouraging books! It couldn’t have come at a better time!
Congrats on your latest, O Prolific One!
I just previewed your book. So great. Can’t wait to send more people your way!
Thanks so much for your wonderful materials, insight and inspiration.
I still can’t find where to download the book on my rss feed.
Thanks Jamie for this book of treasure-truths.
I can’t find the link anywhere? Any other way that I can download it?
I’m still trying to find the download link in my email, too. Don’t see a thumbnail pic of the book in my email. Help?
Congratulations, Jamie, on the new book! I’m super excited to read it. I’ve been following your blog for a while now, you helped give me the encouragement to take on this journey. Thank you!
