Do you attend a homeschool convention each year? Many of you who receive this email have attended a homeschool convention. I have met many of you as I have traveled with The FlyLady.
When I started homeschooling in 2000, I did not attend a homeschool conference when I placed my first book order. The school year had already started, and I started homeschooling our son after two weeks of kindergarten in public school. I started homeschooling my daughter 6 weeks later. When the spring rolled around, I attended a homeschool convention for the first time.
The benefits of attending a homeschool conference are that you get to listen to great speakers who are vested in the homeschool community. You make friends with other homeschoolers. You get to look at books in person, and many times, you get to meet the author of the books.
When I picked curriculum for our second year of homeschooling, I switched from a textbook approach to the unit study approach. If I would not have looked at the materials in person and talked to someone who used it, I probably would not have made that decision.
Using unit studies really ignited a love of learning in our home that was not present when we worked separately with textbooks. We started doing history and science as a family, and it made us closer. My younger children learned so much from just being a part of what my older children were learning.
In one week, I will be traveling with The FlyLady to the Teach Them Diligently Conference in Rogers, AR. We will also be attending the other three TTD conventions in Tennessee, Ohio, and Georgia. We love meeting homeschoolers and talking to you. We love sharing how you can have peace in your home and homeschool by using basic routines.

The following weekend (March 30-April 1), we will be attending and speaking at the TTD Convention in Nashville, TN.
