Update 05/23/09: Due to multiple family issues, HCL will remain closed for the remainder of the year. We have had a death, a birth, major surgery, lingering medical issues with Luke, ongoing behavioral training for autism in-home and a more difficult time with our diabetic all within the past 4 months. The Lord is calling my heart to focus on HOME right now, and to allow HCL to wait patiently until this stormy family time is weathered and we're on solid ground again. There have been and will continue to be major changes in our family and home now, and over the next two years.

Our printed books are no longer available through our website and are being shipped to Hands & Hearts, Books on the Path and MarmeeDear who will be offering them until they are completely sold out. These are reliable and trustworthy companies, as well as dear friends of mine that I can highly recommend.

Welcome to Hope Chest Legacy 

Hope Chest Legacy started when Rebekah Wilson wrote: The Hope Chest: A Legacy of Love in September, 2000. Since that time, Hope Chest Legacy has grown and several new books have been written, as well as sewing kits being created with both mothers and daughters in mind.

In the past several years we have also offered many items from other sources. However, we have felt called to go back to why we started HCL and offer only what we have created ourselves. There are varied reasons for this - we have family cares that require more of my time, I have enrolled in online courses to earn a BS through a Christian university, my oldest is leaving to start pre-med in January, I have two autistic boys who are now reaching pre-teen and teen years and are becoming quite a handful, The Homemaker's Mentor has taken off and I am really enjoying writing lessons for HMM and working with Martha Greene, and I have wanted to reorganize Hope Chest Legacy, create many new kits I haven't had time to work on and to also write new books - my favorite of all!

If you are a California Homeschooler, we also own and operate Country Christian School, an ISP for homeschooler in California. We have been working with homeschooling families through CCS since 1996.

I just want thank you for stopping by our website and leave you with one of my favorite Bible verses...

"I delight to do Thy will, O my God, Thy law is within my heart.'  Psalm 40:8
