We started homeschooling our six kiddos back in 1997 (well, we didn’t have six kids at that time….only 2) and in the 18 years since then, never once have I attended a homeschool convention. Shocker!!
Why? Oh, lots of reasons. Money, time, energy, distance, kids, babies, toddlers, and not being interested in feeling harried and pressured in a convention hall are just a few of my thoughts. Sure, it would be nice to see more of the things that I’m interested in, but I’d also be seeing a million other things and getting distracted and possibly feeling more overwhelmed than I was to begin with. NO THANKS!
Well, it’s mighty nice how technology has changed in the 18 years since I started my homeschool journey. One terrific thing is how connected I can get with other homeschool moms who have the experience and expertise to truly encourage and assist in a mom-to-mom kind of way. Blogs and social media are great. Periscope has been awesome for getting to really understand these other ladies in a more personal and authentic way, too!
I’m excited to tell you that this year you can attend a homeschool convention FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME, full of speakers that are authentic homeschool moms just like you, and…..it’s all for FREE! Yup!
Right now I believe there are now 40 speakers scheduled to share about everything from babies to college and everything in between! And these will all be video sessions, so you’ll be able to see the speaker and the demonstrations without having to squint across a big room full of people! 🙂 Check out these sessions that you’ll be able to watch:
Not only are there all these great speakers (and hey! I’m one of them!), but there will also be swag. Oh yes! Freebies and discounts and other goodies will be available for all participants, and I know how you love that. 🙂
It’s FREE to register, so get on over there and sign up so you don’t forget. Be sure to let your friends know about this, too. The convention is happening July 22-25, 2016, so clear some time in your schedule and plan to soak up some fresh inspiration and encouragement!
I have a wedding and will be traveling during the convention. Will they be available only during the convention, or will they be available for a certain amount of time??
Hi Leisa! I’m sorry this got lost in the shuffle. The videos will be available for a couple days during the convention. You’ll also have the option to purchase lifetime access to the sessions after, so no worries if you don’t have time to watch them all!
