"I am able to fill my mind up with godly wisdom each day as I jog along. I always come back from my jogs with a fresh idea and a new attitude about homeschooling. It would have been too much to process all this information in a weekend, but with the MP3, I can get my cup filled regularly. Thank you so much for offering it. I will definitely purchase it—and recommend that others purchase it—each year."  - Jennifer Agnew, Charlottesville

Dads, we even had a track just for you! And moms, whether you are beginning or a veteran, we had workshops to bring you back to the heart and joy of homeschooling.
