Cindy homeschooled nine children for over 30 years years using Charlotte Mason’s timeless ideas. She is the author of Mere Motherhood: Morning Time, Nursery Rhymes, My Journey Toward Sanctification, The Mere Motherhood Newsletters, Hallelujah: Cultivating Advent Traditions with Handel’s Messiah and Morning Time: A Liturgy of Love along with its Anthology.

She co-hosts The New Mason Jar Podcast with Dawn Duran and encourages moms weekly on her Patreon “Morning Time for Moms Discipleship Group.”

Find her on patreon.com/cindyrollins or at morningtimeformoms.com. Her heart’s desire is to encourage moms and go to baseball games.

Jeannette was first introduced to the ideas of Charlotte Mason when her then fiancé (now her husband) gave her a copy of For The Children’s Sake and said, “This is how I would like us to educate our children!” 34 years later, Jeannette looks over a rich life of learning alongside their four children, ages 22 to 33: an artist in residence in a Belgian castle, an internet security consultant, a mechanic/welder, and a career yet to be determined. As each child left home, Jeannette may or may not have turned their bedroom into an annex for her ever growing lending library Green Door Children’s Heritage Library. Jeannette’s education continues today as she tutors privately and runs a two day a week kindergarten enrichment program called Kinder Garden. Jeannette delights in: collecting/hoarding/consuming/lending/reading aloud the best living books, in naming what is found in nature, creating with handicrafts, obsessing over artists, rendering in paint objects in nature, helping to run a local CM support group, and being part of far too many book clubs.  She considers it a privilege whenever she has the opportunity to share her gleanings from this life of living ideas that is a Charlotte Mason education.
