Teaching Parents Association Convention, Here we come, and a giveaway!!

We are less than a week away from the homeschool convention in my own stomping ground.  The Teach Parent Association Convention in Wichita KS.  I have attended this convention for 9 years. 

Todd is the author of Lies Homeschooling Moms Believe,Help! I’m Married to a Homeschooling Mom and The Official Book of Homeschooling Cartoons, is a dad, writer, conference speaker, and former pastor. Todd’s humor and gut-honest realness have made him a favorite speaker at homeschool conventions across the country and a guest on Focus on the Family.

As founder of Familyman Ministries, his passion and mission are to remind dads and moms of what’s most important through a weekly e-mail for dads, seminars, and books that encourage parents.

Todd, and his wife Debbie, homeschool their eight children in northern Indiana and travel around America in the Familyman Mobile. You can visit his website here - Family Man Ministries

Betty Eisenhour (A Journey Through Learning) - Curriculum Modification, Making Your Curriculum
Work for Your Family
Homeschooling multiple ages and abilities has a way of making the homeschool mom get
creative with curriculum. We will discuss ways to modify curriculum to meet the multiple needs and
abilities of your children, helping you spend less on curriculum, spend less time planning, and more time
educating your children. Learning basic modifications can help you enjoy pretty much any curriculum
you have and be able to use it to meet your children’s needs. We will also discuss what to look for when
purchasing curriculum to help make it easier to modify for your family. Being able to make a few
modifications will help you save money, time, and have less homeschooling stress.

Betty Eisenhour (A Journey Through Learning) – Homeschooling While Dealing with Financial Stress
Financial stress can wreak havoc on the homeschool family, especially considering that many are single income families. We will discuss ways you can help lessen the stress on your family, from grocery shopping, to curriculum purchases, to unique ways to work at home. All while remembering that God will provide for your actual needs. Keeping in mind Romans 8:28, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose”.

Don’t forget about the vendor all.  This year we have some new faces coming.  I can’t wait to see many of the old faces too. 

Who are you excited to see?
