• Who should join Talk-a-Latte chats? YOU--if you're homeschooling, if you're a mom, if you're weary, lonely, or discouraged, if you've lost your vision, or if you just wanna have fun! I was all of the above, and the chats have lifted my spirits, taught me, given me fresh vision, turned my heart and face to God, given me practical, hands-on ideas, and introduced me to some of the greatest cyber-girlfriends who are kindred spirits on this journey!




• The Talk-a-LatteChat I did with Cindy was a great experience! Cindy is so upbeat and energetic she could probably make bean soup sound exciting! I represented my company In the Hands of a Child. We create ready to assemble lapbook-style Project Packs and that is what we discussed on the chat. Not only was the chat a relaxed and fun afternoon, we also acquired many of our good customers from it! I still have people email me and say they heard me on Cindy's Talk-a-Latte!




• Talk-A-Latte chats have been such a blessing to me. They have helped me to keep my focus on the things that God has called me to do. They are also filled with practical ideas to make being a wife, mom,and homeschooler so much easier. My husband has nicknamed me "Ipod Woman" because I always have my mp3 player attached to my ear listening to the latest chat while I'm doing my housework and while I go to sleep at night. He has even noticed a change in my attitude and heart because of all the encouragement from the chats. I highly recommend them. They are life changing!




• Wow, Cindy, what a ministry you provide with the Talk-a-Latte Chats! With my schedule, I rarely get time to attend Mom's Nights or events. Listening in on these chats with like-minded women on topics that cover the spiritual, homeschool, and family gives me that rejuvinating boost I so desperately need at times! It not only refreshes the soul, it gets me excited to put new ideas into action. With how late I work on our business, I'm at my desk until the wee morning hours. I LOVE going to the archives to re-listen to the topics. With tea in hand, it's an enjoyable time to cover things I may have missed the first time around. Each time an announcement shows up in the e-mail, it's like opening a present with anxious anticipation...what's the topic going to be this time???




• The Talk-a-Latte Chats, Bible Studies and Seminars have been a timely blessing in my life. You won't leave the chats without being encouraged and built up in Jesus Christ. The Talk-a-Latte Homeschool Seminar Series provides what local support groups often leave out and that's time for learning new ways to homeschool using easy, do-able and enjoyable lessons and fresh learning ideas. Cindy is just overflowing with sound Biblical teachings and if that's not enough, the mommies who are present will seek to answer questions and help you in any way possible, all in the privacy of YOUR own home! Cindy often invites the best speakers and guests. The ideas she and they present are ENDLESS! From household organization tips to lapbooks, holiday planning and marriage helps! It's not always possible to attend conferences when one of your favorite speakers will be there. Cindy's Talk-a-Latte chats have bridged that gap for me. Cindy is not just a distant, respected speaker and teacher. Via the internet (and the Lord's enabling), she has become a much beloved friend and mentor in my life. May our Lord continue to Bless you abundantly Cindy!




• Each week when I get in on the Talk-a-Latte Chats, I get inspiration to encourage me in my priorities for my homeschooling. Cindy always manages to direct our attention to the heart of homeschooling -- reaching the hearts of our children and teaching them the ways of God.




• The chats have been a breath of fresh air. I so love getting them. I also do the seminars and I am in a rural area with very few other homeschool moms and far from a support group - I have gotten encouragement, been challenged, and new ideas. I could go on and on. Best of all cindy always brings me back to God's word and encourages me in my relationship with God and then with my family. This doesn't cause me to be divided it helps me keep my focus and is well worth my time. Cindy is a joy and I feel like shes sitting in my kitchen visiting with me! THank you Cindy for doing what God has called you to and encouraging me to do the same.




• I have been inspired, encouraged and challenged by the Talk-a-Latte Chats. I would highly recommend this forum to any Christian ladies, but particularly those who are becoming discouraged with homeschooling, or who need a fresh perspective. Not only have I grown in my walk with the Lord, but my marriage has been improved! Thanks, Cindy!!




• Dear Cindy and Lorri, I want to thank you for doing this series. I am coming in a little late. I finally listened to the very first Talk-a-Latte interview with Lorri and just so appreciated the topics covered and the sweet spirit of you both. After listening to this interview, I signed up for the seminar. It took all night to download the mp3 of the first "R" session and I listened to it this morning. All I can say is..."wow...ouch...oh Lord here I come!!!" I have struggled with a consistant "quiet time" all my life and recently have felt feelings of being overwhelmed with homeschool, with keeping our home clean, with child training...the list goes on. I have been sidetracked...and I know the Lord is going to use this seminar to speak to my heart. And as Lorri stated...not just speak to me, but change me...I must obey what He is teaching me. One thing that I have been doing recently in my quiet time is choosing a book of the Bible to read. Each day I read one chapter. In my journal I record a verse or two that really spoke to me and use this verse to meditate on throughout the day. I then write down in my journal what this verse is saying to me - how I am going to apply it to my life. I then write out a prayer to the Lord. I look forward to using Lorri's tips for Bible reading, Bible study, and the meditating and memorizing too. I know that the Lord is going to do great things in me during this series! I regret that I will probably not be able to participate in many of the chat times (we are leaving for Washington on Thursday and will be gone for two weeks), but I will be downloading the listening to the series and doing whatever "assignments" are given. Thank you Cindy and Lorri. The Lord has used you both to speak to my heart...and I can't to see what He is going to do in me in the days ahead. Blessings on you both! In Christ, Sheri Graham

• I really do not know how I ended up on Cindys website one day last July or August, but I do know that it was the leading of the Lord. I had wanted a "New and Fresh" aproach to our school and had been reading about Charlotte Mason over the Spring and Summer. When I started to read through Cindys page I was amazed at the wealth of information and encouragment that I found not only for Home Educating but also on topics as loving our husbands and Godly motherhood. I also found Talk-a-latte!!! My two favorite things Coffee and Good fellowship. You sit down in the comfort of your own home with a cup of coffee or tea and instantly you are surrounded by a community of ladies who all love the Lord and desire to listen to His leading ...Wow! I never knew that there was anything like this out there! I always come away from a talk-a-latte session refreshed and with a desire to seek the Lord for His direction and a desire to live a deeper walk with our Heavenly Father. Cindys sincerity to see others grow in their relationship with God and in their roles as wives and mothers is seen and heard in everthing she does or has written. I have recomended Talk-a-latte to many young moms who are just getting started in Homeschooling, but I also have highly recomend it my veteren homeschool friends. We all need a spiritual oasis in our lives that we can come to, drink from, and leave refreshed with new insights, encouragement and fellowship. Talk-a-latte has become one of my favorite "Oasis"




• Talk-A-Latte Chats are so encouraging for moms. Cindy shares a wealth of information. In fact she gives her heart and soul to those who are listening to her. When I finish listening to Cindy, I always have specific ideas to implement in my home the next day. I also want to thank Cindy for interviewing me on Talk-A-Latte. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the ladies on the chat and share ideas with them. Thanks, Cindy, for providing a great service to homeschool moms. You are truly filling a need for all of us.




• Living overseas, the audios especially (since the timing for the "Live" talks often is late at night) have been such a blessing to me. The topics really speak to my heart and give me a nudge in the right direction. Cindy, your cheerful voice and enthusiasm are definitely contagious. You are one of the "bubbles" of joy in the body of Christ!! I love when a new audio comes out so I can have a heart to heart across the ocean with all the homeschooling moms and be a part of a bigger family. Thanks so much for being such a humble and joyful servant!!!




• I just wanted to say that I have just loved the Talk a Latte chats from Cindy Rushton and her guests, it just keeps getting better every time. It's so much fun and a real blessing to be able to get such a wealth of experience in one place from moms and Cindy. I have learned so many things and gained so much knowledge and encouragement, its unbelievable. Its really nice to feel so in touch with other moms who KNOW what you feel. I think everyone should listen in. Keep up the great work Cindy.




• Wow! The study sessions have been such a blessing for me - really opening my eyes to how I relate to my children through my life and my homeschooling and helping me to teach their hearts, not just train their behavior. Thank you so much, Cindy!!




• Get your house in order! WOW!!! The 5R's for the Homeschool Mom wil really help you get your life together. Starting with our personal quiet time with the Lord. The first session really hit home and reinforced the importance of our time personally with God. I can't wait to hear the next sessions. They are sure to be God inspired!




• The chats have been a breath of fresh air. I so love getting them. I also do the seminars and I am in a rural area with very few other homeschool moms and far from a support group - I have gotten encouragement, been challenged, and new ideas. I could go on and on.

• Hey Cindy! Just want to say thank you for following the Holy Spirits leading in your ministry. The Talk-a-Latte Chats have been such a blessing. Even though our family has been on this journey of home education for 22 years now I can't say enough how the studies have so blessed and encouraged me to keep on keeping on. Like balm to a weary soul and a breath of freash air! Thank you my friend! In Christ's Love, Donna <><




• Talk-a-Latte has been such a blessing to our entire family. It is wonderful to hear the wisdom of Cindy and experienced homeschool Moms and then be able to blend that wisdom into our homeschool. God has used this program as a tool to further enhance our school studies. The women who subscribe are mothers who are interested in being the best teachers to their children. This show allows us to chat "live" and brainstorm with each other. Their ideas have been so-o-o helpful!A couple of times, I have been unable to participate live but I have been able to download the program and listen at my own convience I thank the Lord daily for Cindy and The Rushton Family Ministries. They are a gift from above!




• What can I say.... the Talk-a-Latte Chats have been AMAZING!!! I have learned so much. I have become a better wife, mommy, and keeper of my home. The lessons I have learned have been PRICELESS!!!! I don't want to miss a single one!
