    I need a new “in the middle of it” homeschool book. Not a book about how or why to homeschool, or about teaching math or writting. But rather the kind of book that you hide in the locked bathroom with on grumpy days when you need a time out. Do you know the kind of book I mean?

    I like One Hundred and One Devotions for Homeschool Moms by Jackie Wellwood.  There is a second book too.

    I really like Karen Andreola’s fiction — ?Pinecones and something?  (I can’t remember the exact title!  I’m getting OLD!)  and Lessons from Blackberry Inn.  The fictional story is enough of an escape for me; the ideas and the example of Carol, the mom, are the balm I need on those days.

    Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit by Teri Maxwell. Any of Todd Wilson’s books.

    I have and like all the books mentioned so far. I also really like Homeschool Supermom, NOT! by Susan Kemmerer.

    My top favorites are probably:

    Homeschooling with a meek and quiet spirit

    Homechooling lies moms believe

    Homeschooling Supermom, not

    Those are specifically about homeschooling in the trenches!

    My favorite inspiring books are A Pocketful of Pinecones and Lessons at Blackberry Inn.

    The Ministry of Motherhood
    The Mission of Motherhood

    I just started The Homeschool Mom’s Devotional Journal: 52 Days to a Stronger Homeschool.  It just came out so there aren’t any reviews and I’m only a few days into it, but it looks great.  You journal along with the readings.

    Another one I like to read is Large Family Logistics.  Although not necessarily a homeschool book, I find it motivational to read.

    I love many of the ones listed here.  I’ve also loved Reaping the Harvest by Diana Waring.  I re-read For the Children’s Sake last year and it was refreshing, too!

    I loved Seasons of a Mother’s Heart!  Another homeschooler’s devotional is Daily Focus by Janet Tatman.
