About - The Relaxed Homeschool

Welcome!

Welcome to The Relaxed Homeschool! My name is Jennifer. I am a mother to spunky and fun 8 year old boy. I’m so glad to be able to share my love of homeschooling and being a mom with you! Like most of you my days are usually pretty busy. I spend most of my time blogging, homeschooling, keeping up with housework and errands, and finding a balance between it all.

The Term Relaxed Homeschooling:

The Relaxed Homeschool was established many years ago, before the term “Relaxed Homeschooling” was even a common term. Now a days, Relaxed Homeschooling has become it’s own way of homeschooling. That was not the intention of my blog or my blog name when it was created. The term “Relaxed Homeschooling” just kind of grew a life of it’s own since my website was named.

I would like to make it clear that I support ALL FORMS of education. This includes but is not limited to: Classical Education, Charlotte Mason, Relaxed Homeschooling, Unschooling, Waldorf Homeschooling, Eclectic Homeschooling, Charter Schools, and yes… even public schooling.

When I first started homeschooling I was so overwhelemed that I didn’t get to enjoy my time with my son. How sad is that? So I chose to “RELAX” more… a lot more actually, and enjoy this precious time with my son.

Homeschooling your children can at first be a bit overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be stressful! This is an amazing start to a new chapter in your lives. Embrace it and have fun with it! I came up with “The Relaxed Homeschool” to help other parents find the resources they need to homeschool their children effectively. I also hope that you find support and encouragement here as well. Just RELAX and go with the flow! It’s an amazing adventure and I hope you join me!

Amy Baker should be tired. She’s a wife and the mother of four sons, including a set of twins. She can talk to you about cloth diapers, slings, potty training, homeschooling, the joys of boys, competitive sports, teenagers, applying to college and ways to stretch your budget until you want to run away screaming. For now, she’s focused on homeschooling her youngest son and writing about her experiences rather than scaring away perfectly nice people.
