Once in a while someone will ask me this simple question:

"What do you wish you would have known when you started homeschooling?"

Our homeschool looks NOTHING like it did when we first started almost 22 years ago! I had been in a Catholic School setting since the third grade and that's what I knew best about "doing school!" I didn't know it was okay to count going outside or just reading books together as science and literature!

I knew other homeschoolers who were about my age and had homeschooled only a few years more than I had, but it seemed that we were all trying to do school at home, instead of homeschool. I didn't know any veteran homeschooling moms to show me the ropes.

Over the years I eventually learned things like:

you can set your own schedule,
you really can finish school for the day by lunch,
you don't need that super expensive boxed curriculum,
you can go on a nature walk and teach science,
you can make math fun,
you can lighten up- you've truthfully been homeschooling since birth,
God called you to this and He will equip you for it.
your homeschool is yours and it doesn't have to look like another's

Part of what helped me to re-learn what it meant to be a home educator was attendance at a state Homeschool Conference. And now, you can attend the 2018 Homeschool Moms Conference in the comfort of your own home!

There are MANY, MANY workshops in this year's conference that will help brand new homeschooling families get on the right path from day 1.

The speakers have a combined total of over 600 years of homeschooling experience.

Here is the complete list of topics.
Workshops include:

3 Most Important Things I Learned in 31 Years of Homeschooling

and MANY more {over 100 workshops in the homeschool track!

AND I'M GIVING ONE OF THE HIGH SCHOOL TALKS!!! I'm so excited!

The 2018 Homeschool Moms Conference also has a work at home/blogging track that will teach and equip you with a strategy for bringing in an income while homeschooling your children. I worked from home for 25 years while homeschooling my children. The information here would have been very helpful to have back then!! There are 30+ speakers and 48+ workshops in the work at home track!

Worried that you will be overwhelmed and not have time to watch all of the workshops?! NO WORRIES- you will have LIFETIME access to ALL conference workshops. That means that you can glean from the wisdom and ideas shared for YEARS to come!

In addition to all of this, ALL conference attendees also receive a digital swag bag filled with homeschool curriculum resources and discounts valued at over $1000, access to an online vendor hall featuring 40+ vendors including popular homeschool publishers like Apologia, BJU, Sonlight, Notgrass History and more, and admittance to the conference community group full of fun, fellowship, and HUNDREDS of dollars worth of prizes!

The 2018 Homeschool Moms Conference kicks off on June 4th, but Early Bird Registration {the lowest prices ever} is happening now! You can register for the Homeschool Track or the Work at Home Track for $15 each OR you can register for the All-Access Pass and get BOTH tracks for $25!
