A letter from me to you, every week.
Join the Around the Thicket newsletter for ideas, encouragement, and inspiration for your Charlotte Mason journey.
To say thank you, I’ll send you my audio read-along podcast of Charlotte Mason’s School Education.
An email newsletter to look forward to.
I know that email addresses are precious, and that they are in high demand. So why might you want to subscribe to mine?
- You won’t hear from me on social media. Even when I do post (which isn’t often), the algorithms don’t work in my favor. I don’t have the time or energy to play the game. A newsletter lets me stay in touch with you without needing to adjust what I write in order to get more ‘likes’. I think this makes my emails more interesting for you, and more fun for me.
- My blog posts are rarely my only thoughts on a topic! If you like what I’ve written here, I think you’ll enjoy the background ‘scoop’ that I provide in my emails. Always encouraging, always thoughtful, always working out principles that can be applied.
- You’ll receive access to my read-along podcast of Charlotte Mason’s School Education. In this podcast series I chat through Charlotte Mason’s third volume chapter by chapter. Listen to the first two episodes on SoundCloud.

Know what you're getting.
I think it is only right that you know exactly what you are subscribing to. Here are the details.
- I send emails every Friday. These are casual letters that discuss ideas I’m thinking about, the practicalities of parenting and home educating, and the Christian faith.
- I do include links to related resources, like blog posts I’ve written, my podcast, or other sources I love and appreciate.
- I also include info about upcoming events I will be a part of (like online conferences) or projects I’ve worked on (like a book or a course).
Join the newsletter.
In addition to my weekly newsletter, you’ll also get access a read-along podcast of Charlotte Mason’s third volume, School Education.
A bit about me.
Hi! I’m Amy. I’m a wife, a homeschooling mom of three boys. I grew up in Indiana, but I now live in the northwest of England. I have an MA in Education and worked for a number of years in higher education before leaving the workforce to take care of my children.
I first learned about Charlotte Mason when my eldest was just a baby. Since then, I have been reading, writing, and talking about her philosophy. I share the practical working-out of my Charlotte Mason journey here on my blog.
You will also find me at the Thinking Love podcast, where I am a co-host, chatting about Charlotte Mason, the early years, and more.
