If you are considering homeschooling your children, www.earnestparenting.com is a good place to find out more about it from a parent’s perspective. Although Earnest Parenting is written in an informal blog tone, the personalized format delivers quite a bit of useful information.
The creator of Earnest Parenting is Amy L, a 37 year old wife, mother of two sets of boy twins (ages 9 and 4) and a former middle school teacher who homeschools her children. Her conversational style of blogging is easy to read, entertaining and informative. With great honesty, Amy discussed her youth, her current family and the ways she organizes her life effectively to handle the tasks at hand.
Earnest Parenting features links to help you get organized and links to find out more about homeschooling that refer you to other useful websites. Amy’s blog entries are organized along the right side of the screen so you can click and review articles about various subjects, such as boys, parenting, personal growth, growing with God and homeschooling. Reading Amy’s entries about parenting issues feels much like you are speaking with a good friend. This is particularly useful to homeschooling families who may feel alienated on occasion when there is no one available to discuss various concerns.
For solid parenting advice from a professional educator who speaks in everyday language you can understand and relate to, www.earnestparenting.com delivers.

1I highly recommend Amy’s blog as well. She has a wealth of information about homeschooling, and she’s an awesome mom as well (I know her in real life.
).
