Hello, and welcome to my little corner of the world! I'm Christy and I am so blessed to be the wife of a wonderful, God-fearing man as well as the mom of four great children.
In our family, learning is not about 'filling a bucket', but it's about 'lighting a fire'! We sincerely desire for our children to love to learn, and that's why we homeschool.
Book knowledge will only take our children so far. But if their hearts are trained toward the things of the Lord, then they will be ok no matter what life may bring them.
I'm glad you're here. Grab a warm mug of hot chocolate, sit back, and read about the many different things that I think throughout the day... "Hey, that would make a good blog entry!"
My Family
In May of 1993 the Lord finished creating me when he sent me my other half, the half that I had been without for the first 17 years of my life. Two short years later, we were married and I was finally whole."I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go..." Song of Solomon 3:4
Over the next few years God blessed us beyond our wildest dreams when He sent us four beautiful angels. Our children have brought us more joy than we ever knew was possible and we are honored God chose us to be their parents."Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward..." Psalm 127:3
Our Children
*Baby Girl- age 17
Because she was our long-awaited, much-anticipated, prayed-and-hoped-for first baby and will always be our baby girl.
*Handsome- age 14 Because when he was younger he thought his little brother was cuter than he was, so mommy started calling him her little handsome guy.
*Reece Cup- age 13 Because his middle name is Reece and when he was little he was the sweetest little thing and I called him my little Reece Cup because I could have just eaten him up!
*Princess- age 12 Because she was our baby princess and was treated as such by everyone in our home right from the moment she was born.
I would love to hear any opinions on Story of the World by Susan Wise Bauer if anyone has any.
Thanks!

I just ordered Vol. 1 and haven't received it yet. I can say my best friend used it this past year and absolutely, positively loved it. She used to send pictures of activities that were accomplished and they were SO fun. I read a few chapters and really enjoyed it. When was the last time you said you enjoyed reading about history? I wanted to just keep reading, so I have high hopes for this curriculum.
I looked at it and thought about using it until I discovered Mystery of History. I love MOH because it incorporates a Christian worldview and Biblical history into the rest of history.
