Amy Hughes, author of Words Like Honey and mother of nine brings decades of homeschooling wisdom to the Beautiful Feet community.
Beautiful Feet Books is proud to announce the addition of Amy Hughes to its team. A celebrated author, seasoned keynote speaker, and mother of nine children whom she educated from kindergarten through graduation, Amy arrives at Beautiful Feet Books with twenty years of Charlotte Mason practice, a published book, and thousands of days of homeschooling behind her.
“We believe that the words we speak shape the faith and character of our children. Amy’s voice is exactly the kind of resource our families have been asking for.”
– Josh Berg, CEO
An Author Who Speaks from Experience
Amy Hughes is the author of Words Like Honey: How to Avoid Unintentional Harm, Model Kindness, and Nurture Your Child’s Faith Through What You Say, newly released and already resonating deeply with homeschooling parents across the country, as well as the yet to be released book You Belong Among the Wildflowers: Analog Homeschooling in a Digital Age. Drawing on Scripture and her own journey raising and educating nine children, Amy’s writing is both practical and profoundly encouraging.
Having homeschooled from kindergarten all the way through graduation, Amy understands the full arc of the homeschooling journey: the early years of cultivating a love of learning, the middle years of building discipline and depth, and the high school years of preparing young adults for life. She has a deep understanding of Charlotte Mason and her educational philosophy, having studied and followed the principles for twenty years.
Equal parts warmth and wisdom, Amy's perspective comes from having done this herself: every year, every season, every hard day and every breakthrough, for nine children across more than two decades.
A Sought-After Voice at Homeschool Conferences
As a keynote speaker at homeschool conferences nationwide, Amy has a gift for connecting with parents where they are: tired, hopeful, sometimes uncertain, and deeply committed to raising children of faith. Her talks are known for being honest, uplifting, and immediately applicable to daily home education life.
A New Resource for the Beautiful Feet Family
Beautiful Feet customers will now have the opportunity to connect with Amy directly, through content, events, and community conversations. Her addition to the team reflects Beautiful Feet’s ongoing commitment not just to providing exceptional curricula, but to walking alongside families throughout their entire homeschooling journey as a mentor.
Julia Arlen, Brand Manager at Beautiful Feet Books, reflects on what Amy's addition means for the families Beautiful Feet serves, "Amy has walked the full road of homeschooling, from kindergarten to senior graduation, and she brings the kind of wisdom and warmth that can only come from someone who has truly lived it."
Amy herself puts it simply: "I have long been passionate about encouraging and supporting homeschooling parents. I’m honored to be able to do so alongside a company I deeply believe in."
Wisdom for Every Season of the Homeschool Road
Amy’s impact reaches well beyond any single curriculum or company. At conferences, in her writing, and in the conversations she sparks, she consistently points families back to what matters most: the relationship between parent and child, the power of words spoken in love, and the long-term vision required to educate a child from the first lesson to graduation day. That kind of voice doesn’t just benefit Beautiful Feet customers. It strengthens the entire homeschooling community.
At a time when homeschooling is growing faster than ever, with millions of new families entering the space each year, experienced and trustworthy guides are more needed than ever. Few people in the homeschooling world have done what Amy Hughes has done. She has genuine wisdom that's worth passing on.
Beautiful Feet Books is honored to be the home from which Amy’s voice reaches even further, and committed to making her wisdom accessible to every homeschooling family who needs it.
