I look forward to the convention ever year. We have gone for over 20 years now all for different reasons.

I love homescholing and look forward to the day I get to go to the convention as a grandparent!

Jennifer said on December 29, 2012
Jennifer such a wonderful and exciting opportunity. I am a stay at home mother of 2. My FIRST year homeschooling after terrible experiences with bullies and pushovers my children were so unhappy with school. God has blessed me with the opportunity to walk away from my career after 14 years of dedication to give my children the education they need and deserve without the added pressures. Some days are such a challenge to where I want to throw my hands up and say they are going back to public school..but I know I would not be following Gods plan(and my children LOVE home school)..so through much prayer God is always there and our days a filled with such happiness and fun learning. The convention would be a blessing to attend and meet such wonderful speakers and a blessed family as the Duggars who have inspired many.
Lisa W. said on December 29, 2012
