Making a Plan of Attack for Homeschool Conferences

For many homeschool parents, the spring is full of convention opportunities with each convention/conference having a different flavor. With that in mind, the TOS Blog Cruise has a homeschool conference focus with the question: “Homeschool Conventions – Do you attend, what are the benefits, pitfalls, etc. Share your experience!” This will be my fifth year [Read On]

Schoolhouse Expo coming back in the Fall

As I was going through my email messages, I found one from The Old Schoolhouse about a special discount rate to pre-order the Fall Expo package.  This time, they are offering either the Live format OR the “To Go” format.  Both options give you all the mp3 files to download a few weeks after the [Read On]

A ‘shout out’ I forgot to share earlier this week ~ Ulitmate Homeschool Expo 2010

This is the third year I’ve ‘attended’ this expo and somehow it snuck up on me this year.  With all the chaos in our lives, I am especially glad to have a ticket to the Expo so I can download and listen to all the wonderful speakers that I am missing live.  But, I have [Read On]

Another shout out for the TOS Homeschool Expo

Well, I am all signed up for the TOS Homeschool Expo and can hardly wait for it to begin. Thankfully, they know just how inpatient some of us can be and have their free ‘goodie’ bag stuffed full and ready to download just moments after you register. They also have a nice attendee ‘handbook’ to [Read On]

Sharing about an upcoming online expo and TOS sale

This just landed in my inbox and I wanted to share. I’m planning to ‘attend’ the TOS Homeschool Expo, myself. If you’re looking for homeschool encouragement, resources, and fun, check out all that is going on at The Old Schoolhouse! Right now March Madness and Win Big are going on in the Schoolhouse Store. During [Read On]

Monday Madness in our House

Well, maybe madness is a strong term. Rather, things are not as planned. The older boys are at their final dress rehearsal before tomorrow’s performance of Hamlet. Instead of doing some thrift store shopping and playground time, D is watching a DVD while snuggled in his sleeping bag. Poor guy’s running a rather nice fever [Read On]

Only a few more days until the Ultimate Homeschool Expo 2009 starts

June 1st (this coming Monday) is the official start of the UHSE 2009 and when the membership site opens up. After having a great experience with last year’s event, I have been looking forward to this one. I’ve already got my ticket, which works out great as we’ll be out of the house when many [Read On]

Ultimate Homeschool Expo 2009

It’s time again for the Ultimate Homeschool Expo, hosted by Cindy Rushton. I bought a ticket last year after listening in on some of the preview chats and a year later I am STILL listening to audios from the member website and using the other downloads members have. Compared to attending an in person conference, [Read On]

Apologia Live! Conference Reflections 2

Computers acting up and just the audacity of life to get in the way have kept me from writing about this next session I attended at the recent Apologia Live! Conference. Elizabeth Smith, wife to HSLDA President and the director of the HSLDF, spoke on. This talk had so much in it that I needed [Read On]

Apologia Live! Conference Reflections 1

This past weekend I was extremely blessed to attend the Apologia Live! Conference in Baltimore. I was one of several bloggers chosen to review this first conference in what the new owners of Apologia hope will become a well attended annual event. Given what I experienced this past weekend, I suspect this venue with thrive [Read On]

Apologia Live Conference coming up

Just wanted to pop in and remind those reading this blog of this opportunity to break free of the homeschool winter blues. Reading through the conference site, there are so many great ladies coming to help attendees refill their cup. As someone who loves music, I am eager to see how the praise and worship [Read On]

Apologia LIVE! Conference for Women later this month

Now that we are in February, the winter doldrums can start to rear their ugly head. I’ll be honest that while I don’t feel like my life is dragging between homeschooling the boys, participating in a great homeschool co-op (that’s on break this month), serving as a member of the TOS Crew, and also my [Read On]
