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 five 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!!!
Dear Michelle,
Our family has been so blessed by your website! We have been doing your 2 year old program and we’re having a ball! Thank you for such amazing Christian resources and for fun ideas!

We’ve been so grateful for your free curriculum and FANTASTIC ideas over the years! Seeing photos of your children doing the activities has made implementing them in my home so simple and easy since I’m a very visual person. I was so surprised to find your blog and see how much your girls have grown! :] God is so good!
Would you ever consider printing and making a spiral-bound collection of your curricula/ideas? I have tried printing out the year from HubbardsCupboard and always get confused, mixed up and missing pages, etc. – not your fault, entirely my own, lol. I would love to financially support your time and talents by purchasing a complete, printed and spiral-bound curriculum or even an online printable one all assembled and ready for printing and binding. Certainly I am not the only one!
Thanks so much for all you do and for making homeschooling with my children even more joyful, affordable and blessed every day. <3 Blessings to you and yours, ~Kym
I cannot thank you enough for providing such a well thought-out curriculum for free. I used the 3′s curriculum with my eldest, and we just finished our first year of kindergarten. He is now reading on about a 3rd grade level, and I know that it is because he had such a strong foundation to start with! I am excited to start the 3′s curriculum with my second child this August. I truly appreciate your time and talents that you’ve dedicated to the Lord. THANK YOU!!!
