About
Welcome to Joyful Heart! I pray that by utilizing this blog space, I can reflect on Christ’s work on the cross, meditate on Words of life and hope from the Bible, see God’s merciful hand in my family’s life, and begin to catch more glimpses of joy in the everyday happenings of my life as a stay at home mom to four precious gifts from our Lord.

Michelle, I never knew you had such a wonderful blog. I’m sharing it with the MOPS moms in our summertime newsletter, last of the year. I’m in a new Bible Study and learning so much in His Word. This resource is another place I’ll turn for support as mom to my precious little ones. Thanks so much and Praise Jesus for His gifts through you. In his love, Chris, your neighbor
Hi Michelle,
Just wanted to thank you for sharing so graciously! I’ve just gone through ‘Hubbard’s Cupboard” and I really want to thank you for the time you’ve taken to put together a Bible based curriculum! Thanks for giving me a great tool to lay a strong foundation on.
I can’t thank you enough. I just found ‘Hubbard’s Cupboard’ last week. Before I had children, I was a teacher for eight years. I thought homeschooling my children would be a breeze with my previous experience. Boy was I wrong.
This past week was my first week using your curriculum, and all week I have been sick. Yet, this has been the best week I have had with my kids in a long time. Your site just made things so easy for me. I just printed up what I needed, and applied it. It fills up my whole morning.
We start at breakfast with reading our Bible story, and going over our memory verse. Then we activities related to the Bible story. After that, we sit in our living room singing songs and reading books that you have so graciously provided. After that they have an hour of free play, where they are actually enjoying playing with each with out all the bickering and fighting. Then we have lunch, and then we do any math, reading, or writing activites. The afternoon they have free to play outside.
You have provided a solid foundation in which I can just add a little of my own ideas here and there. I can’t thank you enough. Thank you for your time, effort, love, and energy that you have put into this!!!
