Training Hearts at Home: Blog Walking: Weeks 4 & 5

About Me

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!"

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.

Busy, busy, busy. What homeschool momma doesn't always have ~~something~~ a million things to do?

Once again I am a bit behind on taking my weekly blog walk through my fellow crew members blogs. But, in my defense, I am currently sitting outside ROASTING in the heat and humidity hoping and praying someone, ANYONE(!) will come along and ~~buy~~ take away everything we have sitting here in our yard sale! Seriously, I feel like the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz when Dorothy throws the water on her. "I'm M-E-L-T-I-N-G!" Except someone throwing a bucket of water on me right now would actually be just fine!

Here are some more blogs of those on the Homeschool Crew this year. And guess what? I'm one of the featured blogs this week! Yay me!
