This episode of The English Homemaker is all about home education, our story, why we started and what we're doing right now.
I hope this is a helpful overview of the pros and cons of different education choices, and if it's something you're considering, I hope this gives you something to chew on.
Please remember, every family, every child is different, and quite frankly, every country and community too - so what I share really is only relevant to the small little world we live in, but stories are helpful so I thought I'd share! It's a big topic and I've only just scraped the surface with this episode, but I hope you take it for what it is, our story.

“If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace. ”

This episode of The English Homemaker talks about the art of homemaking, what the home is for and why it's vital to society. 'Home' isn't about being a mother or wife, it isn't about home ownership, it's about creating a safe and loving environment for other people to feel themselves, to belong, to become who they can be.
Home can be a place of...
Freedom, Connection, Full bellies, Love, Conversation, Relaxation, Fun, Life, Hugs, Comfort, Safety, Teamwork
It's not about perfectionism or DIY or meal plans or cleaning routines... right?
