Featured Blogger:

Christy of Training Hearts at Home

One of the things that I love about HomeschoolBlogger is the people that you get to meet. They are real, friendly, and a blessing to know. I have never had the opportunity to meet Christy in real life, but she has touched my heart time and again with her blog entries about motherhood, housework, homeschooling and being the daughter of the most High King!

Being a mom is hard work. Sometimes we just need to get away and recharge our own batteries. What do you do when you discover that your child wants to be with you right in that Mommy time moment? Christy realized that sometimes that Mommy Time Will Have to Wait!

Sometimes the best way to get in that Mommy time is to Just Pretend…

Laundry has been done ever since Eve told Adam that if he wouldn’t let her wash his animal skin he wouldn’t be sitting next to her at the dinner table. Okay, maybe not, but the point here is that laundry is a chore that has been done for millennia. Today’s woman has gone soft, and the real work is just trying to get the laundry put away. Christy reminds us, Be Nice to Your Washer! You never know when you’ll be without it.

If you are ever weary and tired, just go to Christy’s blog. She is an encourager extraordinaire! Concerned that your child will never learn? Christy shares that Some Things Kids Just…Learn!

There are some things kids just learn, and there are some Things Every Kid Should Do.

Random Blogger: Sherrydhoneycutt of A Bibliomane Amidst Butterflies

I can't believe it. I simply can not believe it! Me? Chosen as the Featured Blogger? Little old simple me who spent so much time changing the LOOK of my blog lately that I forgot to actually take the time to BLOG!

I truly am honored and consider it a blessing to be a part of the HSB community. Before joining HSB I didn't even know what a blog was. Kinda sounded like a sickness to me! Little did I know that that 'sickness' would be just the cure I needed when I was feeling lonely (w are the only homeschoolers in our family and our church and it seems like our entire community) or when I had something I needed to talk about or when I was excited about something and just HAD to share it. Besides my on-line homeschooling friends, I have no one who truly understands the excitement and joy of homeschooling, and often times it seems, no one who feels the same joy and honor I do in being a wife and mother.

So thank you HSB, for always being here when I need a friend. For introducing me to so many wonderful homeschooling momma's (and dads!) and allowing me to talk about whatever is on my heart at any given moment of the day or night. But, above all, thank you for being an encouragement to me and my family, for providing so much help and support to all us homeschoolers, for all the laughs (JenIg!) and all the tears (Missey Gray), for all the wonderful friends whom I have grown to love and look up to, and for making it possible for me to meet and chat with thousands of homeschooling moms each and every day!

May God continue to richly bless HSB and all of The Old Schoolhouse family
