This giveaway has ended; thanks for your interest!
Welcome to this weekend’s giveaway–hosted by Great Homeschool Conventions!
Great Homeschool Conventions will hold this year’s regional conventions in South Carolina (March), Ohio (April), and California (June). Each convention features a huge (and I mean huge!) Homeschool Curriculum exhibit hall.
This year’s featured speakers include Dr. Benjamin Carson, Heidi St. John, Dr. Thomas Woods, Dr. Kathy Koch, Gianna Jessen, Dr. Jay Wile, Cathy Duffy, Jim Weiss, Steve Demme, and many more.
When I attended and spoke at last year’s convention in Ohio, I was truly impressed with the professionalism and organization that had gone into the event. The number of sessions to choose from meant something for everyone no matter your needs.
Attendees get to choose from hundreds of encouraging, equipping, information-packed workshops…selecting those that are most applicable to YOUR homeschooling efforts. There is also an optional children’s program and a special track for teens–real faith for the real world.
One Simple Homeschool reader will receive a family registration to the conference location of your choice!
Choose from:
* Greenville, South Carolina (March 20-22, 2014)
* Cincinnati, Ohio (April 24-26, 2014)
* Ontario, California (June 12-14, 2014)
* Fort Worth, Texas (Feb 12-14, 2015)

Amida’s day in a life (with a 3, 7-, 12- and 15-year-old)
I have a 10 year old and a 1 year old and would love to attend one of these because we never have yet! I also would love to hear Dr. Carson and some of the other speakers.
We have a 5 year & 16 month old. We will begin formal homeschooling this year.
The conference would be a great way to see up close all the choices I’m researching. And, it would help our plan feel more solidified.
I’ve liked both Facebook pages as well.
We have a 9, 7, and 4-year-old. I would love to attend because I have never been! We would make a road trip out of it! We are 7 hours away from the CA conference. Thanks for the chance!
We are a Canadian homeschooling family (two boys – ages 7 and 6) and have been inspired by many of the speakers presenting this year (Dr. Carson, Jim Weiss, Cathy Duffy). We’re in our second year of homeschooling and enjoying the journey. We would love to drive down and take part in this conference, and perhaps stay an additional day to visit the Creation Museum!
We are new to homeschooling and looking forward to starting in the next couple years. We have a son part time (9) and a daughter full time (3). We will be homeschooling our daughter and welcome the opportunity to gather as much information as possible prior to starting this adventure.
I have liked both Facebook pages as well.
Our kids are 4, 3 and 7 months. The oldest should start kindergarten this fall, but homeschooling is a big part of our dream for our family, and I need some encouragement and ideas for how to make it happen (while also working full- or part-time from home). I want to meet more people like us!
My son is 7 1/2 and I’m glad to read that there is a kid’s track! I’d love to hear Matt Walsh talk in person. And Dr. Carson! I remember reading his book as a young teen and being very inspired.
I like you both on Facebook.
My son is 5 and I’d love to attend a conference to learn more about getting started!
I liked both on facebook. 🙂

My kids are 4.5 and 2 with another one on the way. I’m planning to attend the Ohio convention so that I can choose and purchase curriculum for next year. Free admission would be great since I’ll probably be spending a bit on books!
I homeschool my only and she is 10. I wanted to go to this conference last year, but was unable to. So I would love the opportunity to go this year! I want to go to this one because of the large exhibitor hall and because of the speakers who will be there. Sounds like a wonderful conference to attend!
I have 4 (almost 5) year old, and a 2 1/2 year old, and one due in June. We’ve done some preschooling this year, and Kindergarten starts for my oldest next year. I really want to get off on the right foot, and follow about 5 or 6 blogs for inspiration and guidance, but still have so many questions. I want to attend Homeschool 101 with Cathy Duffey, find out answers to my legal questions, hear best practices for teaching reading, hear from Matt Walsh, and visit the curriculum exhibitor’s hall.
My son turns 4 in a few weeks and my daughter will be 2 next week(!) We have planned to homeschool since long before they arrived, but there are so many options I’d like to see it all and learn about what will work for our children and family.
I am the mother of a four month old. Due to many advancements in certain political agendas in the past decade, including but not limited to the wide spread implementation of Common Core Curriculum and the many examples of increasingly hostile attitudes toward Christian beliefs in the public school practice of “education,” I am already trying to educate myself on homeschooling for my (what I hope will be) expanding family. The opportunity to avail myself of the knowledge at this conference (closest to me is Ohio) would be a fantastic! Thanks! And glad I found your blog.
We’ve gone to the Cincinnati convention for the past few years and it’s been so worth it. Great giveaway!

My daughter is 4 and we will be starting kindergarten in the Fall. If love to go to the conference as a newbie and learn a lot!
I have also liked both pages on FB!
I will begin my first year homeschooling my 5 yr old son and setting the stage for his younger brothers. I would love to go as a new homeschooling mom who I wanting to soak in as much information as I can to kick start our season of homeschooling.
I have twin 8 year olds and have never been to any conference. I think it would be great to learn and meet other homeschoolers.
Our children are 9, 12, 14. and 19. We would love to attend this year’s GHC conference in either OH or CA, since this will be our 1st time attending and we’d love to meet Linda Hobar from Mystery of History. Thanks so much for sharing this awesome giveaway!

I have one more child, age 16, the 7th, on the home stretch after 30+ years homeschooling. I am tired and need some inspiration. I want to finish well!
We have a 12-year old, 8-year old, and 3-year old who I’ve been homeschooling for two years. I absolutely love homeschooling my children and would love to attend the conference in Fort Worth to learn more about how to teach them better! Thank you for the chance to win!
I have an eight year old and a ten year old. I’d like to go so I can look at some middle school curriculum and plan for the next few years.
I have a 7,5, and 3 year old. I would love to attend the convention so that I can learn new tips and tricks to making our day run more smoothly. Plus, I would love to see so many different texts in person.
I like simple homeschool on Facebook.
My children are 6, 5 & 3. This is our second year homeschooling and it has brought some challenges, but greater rewards! I’ve wanted to go, but haven’t had the chance yet… Dr. Carson would be a dream to hear! It would also be a great way to meet other homeschooling families, along with great hands on opportunities to see and explore curriculum ideas! Yay!
My kids are 12, 9, 7, and 18 months. When I lived in KY I used to attend the convention in Ohio and loved it. Last year we moved to Texas, and I was so sad there wasn’t a GHC to attend close. I was so excited to see you are coming to Fort Worth in 2015- which is where I live!!!! Thank you for all you do, and for adding this location!
Great Conference. We attended once in SC.
My girls are almost 9 and 7. I’m hoping to homeschool them for the first time next year. I would LOVE to attend because I’m dying to actually look at curriculum in person – hold it in my hand, get a feel for it – and a convention would give me the most exposure. Thanks!
Our children are 8, 6, and 4 and this is our third year of homeschooling. I would love for us to attend the GHC for the first time as we are returning to the states next month, after serving 12 years as missionaries in West Africa… It would give me a chance to help our family transition from homeschooling in a remote location to homeschooling in the U.S. Thanks!
I like Simple Homeschool and GHC on Facebook.
I already like both Facebook pages! 🙂
My daughter is 8 and my son is 4. The encouragement at conferences is worth its weight in gold. I go primarily for that, but the wealth of knowledge and resources is also worth a trip.
My kiddos are 4 1/2, 3 and 1 1/2. We attended the Ohio Homeschool Convention for the first time last year, just to get a preview, and it was SO GOOD! We will be officially starting to homeschool our daughter this fall for Kindergarten, and I know the other two will be right along learning preschool activities with her. We’d love a chance to go!
And I “like” Great Homeschool Convention and Simple Homeschool on Facebook! 🙂
Hey there, I really love you blog and find it incredibly helpful! We are just starting homeschooling after pulling my son out of public school(1st grade)! We are very excited and it would help tremendously to be immersed in a homeschool wonderland like the convention! Thanks for the opportunity!
My children and 4 and 7 and we love the convention in Ohio. We go every year.
I have a 7,5,3, and 1 year old. I would love to go o the conference this year as a way to get connected to other homeschoolers and learn about new curriculum choices.
I am in my 1st yr of homeschooling 10 yr old twin girls and have never
Been to a homeschool conference. Also. I have heard many positive
Things aboutt Dr Ben Carson and would love to hear him speak!
Greenville, SC is our hometown and I plan to attend the convention this year. My children are 12, 9 and 5. We will be going to hear Dr. Benjamin Carson (amazing!!!), among others, and to seek wisdom/council/perspective on homeschooling through high school. LOVE your blog – thank you for all of the encouragement…you are a sharp tool in the Lord’s hands! Blessings to you and your family!
My kids are 11 and 9 and I want to go to get new ideas!
Hi, I’m Domini and I have four kids, ages 12, 11, 8, and 3. As someone who is new to homeschooling this year, I’d love to attend the conference to get new ideas and encouragement for this new, rich lifestyle we’ve chosen. Thanks!

My kids are 11, 10, 8, and 2. I’ve never been to a convention even though we’ve been homeschooling since birth! I’d especially love to hear Dr. Carson!
I’ve always wanted to try a homeschool convention; my kids range in age from 3-16.
I have a 7 year old and 4 year old. I went to the ohio convention last year and loved it. You were one speaker I heard. I would like to go again for the opportunity to hear more speakers.
We would love to go! We could also visit our family in CA!
I have been a Facebook fan of both for awhile!
My kids are 8, 6, 6, 4, and 1. This is our 2nd year homeschooling, but we’ve never been to a conference. I would love to go!
I have an 8 year old son. I am halfway through my second year of homeschooling and I would love to attend the convention for some fresh ideas and rejuvenation as I start to prepare for 3rd grade. Thank you for sharing your blog!

My kids are 6 and 5. I would love to go to a convention mainly because I have never been to a convention. I would love to be able to see, hold, and look though the curriculum before I buy it. Also talk to the people who wrote it would be great.
Like both on Facebook.
I have a 5 and 6 year old son. This is my second year of homeschooling. I have greatly enjoyed conventions in the past but it doesn’t look like we will be able to afford it this year. This would be a huge blessing!

My kids are 2 and 5. I would love for my husband and I to go and discover what we think would work best for our boys. I am finding he has great ideas for what will work best for our oldest.
My boys are 2 1/2 with Down syndrome and 7 months. I know I want to homeschool. I need to know more. Thanks!!!!
5, 4 & 1. We are dabbling around with homeschooling and I think my husband is finally on board! I think a conference could seal the deal for us and give us the confidence we need to move forward.
Our kids are 14, 12, 11, and 9. I would love to win this because we’ve been homeschooling 9 years and haven’t ever gone to one! Next year our oldest will be in high school and listening to and getting encouragement from others who have already done high school would be nice. Thanks for the give-away!

My boys are 7 and 4. I would like to attend the conference because it helps me to re-charge and be inspired with new ideas! Thank you!

I have two and four-year-old girls. We started preschool homeschooling with the Letter of the Week curriculum from Confessions of a Homeschooler on our own this year but we would love to know more!! I was homeschooled but I feel lost with my own kids, there are so many things to know and so many options, help!! 🙂

My dd is 6. We started rving full time this year. I need to revamp how I think about school. A conference would help me reevaluate.
My kids are 5.5 and 3 and 6weeks old. First year homeschooling. Have never attended a conference. Thanks for the opportunity!
I liked simply homeschooling on Facebook 🙂
My kids are 13, 8, 3 and 6 months. I have been homeschooling since 2005 (when my oldest started kindergarten) and have never been to a convention. My husband and I have been talking about going to the one in OH, but with the way things are going financially lately, that’s not likely to happen. Winning this would be a blessing! 🙂
Our crew is 8, 6, 4, and 3. We live in an area where homeschool is not popular. A convention would be SO encouraging for us and full of great insight.
My children are 12,10,9,& 8. I woyld love to be able to attend this conference because I have never been able to attend a homeschool conference. I love that there are ao many thibgs for the whole family to do at this conference. It would be great to have ab ecperience to get us all excited about school again.

Our children are 8 and 5. I would love to attend this years conference because we just found our niche in interest-led learning and my husband and I would LOVE to get some inspiration from veteran mothers.
I liked the FB post as well.
My children are 7, 9, 14, and 17. I would live to attend the conference ( it’s in my town – Greenville) because although I have homeschooled our oldest 2 children for the past 7 years, I am brining home the youngest two and will have a full homeschool house! I am looking to be invigorated and inspired!
I’ve ‘liked’ the FB pages 🙂
My children are 11 and 12. I’d love to attend this year’s conference to hear Dr. Ben Carson speak.

I’ve liked both pages.
Hello! My children are 14,12,8,&6. The reason I would love to attend the Conference because this is my 4th year homeschooling and I need inspiration! Having elementary, middle, & high school to teach has been challenging and I would really learn a lot from the speakers & from the entire experience. Thank you 😉
My children are ages: 16, 14, 10, 8, 7, 6. I would love my teenage sons to hear Dr. Carson and Matt Walsh, specifically. They are both influential men and have attained their positions through very different means (one has many higher education degrees, the other, none). God has used them both mightily. I could list a bunch more reasons for attending, but that was the first one that popped into my head! 🙂
I have a 9 year old and a 2 year old. I would like to go to a convention because I’m tired! I need some extra encouragement to keep moving along this homeschool journey!
I homeschool my youngest daughter, she is 6. We would love to attend the homeschool convention in California. We are new to homeschooling & we would appreciate the guidance from other’s & hear success stories to stay motivated. It would also help to be able to look at all the different curriculums & ask questions! I have *liked both fb pages as well. Thank you
My kiddos are 9, 6, and 3. I’ve always wanted to attend a homeschool conference but have never found the time. This one looks so excellent and I’d love to go and be reinvigorated and inspired!
SH and GHC liked!
I have an 8 year old son and 6 year old twin daughters. We have been homeschooling all along but I have never attended a conference. My sister just started homeschooling and I think this would be a wonderful way to inspire us and where we could learn more about this journey we are on!
My kids are 3, 5,7. I went last year to the GHC in Greenville, SC. So uplifting, encouraging, and a much needed break for my husband and me.
I want to go this year to hear Kirk Martin and Kathy Koch. Both are amazing!
My children are 12, 8 and 5….. and we’re expecting in July. I’d love to attend the convention in SC. We’ve been praying about transitioning from private Christian school to homeschool. I feel like this convention would give me the resources and confidence to make the switch. I’ve liked your page on Facebook.
And I already like GHC on Facebook. Did that count?
I have three children ages 10, 7 & 2. We’ve been homeschooling for four years, and I’ve lately been longing to attend a homeschool conference. I’d like to look into new curriculum and hear some amazing and inspirational speakers. This would be a fabulous event to attend! I’d like to attend the Ohio conference. I am already a fan of Simple Homeschool on FB. 🙂 Thanks!
My children are 10,7, and 3. I would like to go because this is our first year homeschooling and I’m still trying to figure everything out. Would LOVE to hear all the speakers, soak up the encouragement, and meet other families like ours.
I’m a fan of both on FB.
My children are 8, 7, and 5. This is our first year of homeschooling and I have learned so much from all the amazing blogs online. I would love to attend the convention because there is so much more I would like to learn and have questions I would like to direct answers to. Not to mention the exhibit hall. That is always the most fun part of the convention. So excited about all the spears at the Ohio convention.
I am a fan of both FB pages.
My children are 5 & 8 and I’d like to go to for a fresh perspective and to see what’s new.
My children our ages, 20, 15,13 and 4 .. This will be our first year homeschooling with our youngest ( the older ones are in high school and college ) and would love to learn more and connect with others on this same journey…
I like both on FB!
My children are 17 & 14. I would love to attend the conference because we live in a rural area and we haven’t attended a HS convention in years.
I have two 10-year olds adopted from China. I started homeschooling this year because their brief stint in the public school didn’t work out well. They needed to go at their own pace – and we needed to avoid some of the bullying that was going on. Now that I’ve gotten my feet wet, I would love to attend a convention to help reinforce my belief that this is the right thing for us. I need encouragement, motivation, and an opportunity to explore all that is available.
My son is 12 and we are preparing for highschool. I’d love to be able to browse the highschool curricula.
We have just one 12 year old daughter, and we just started homeschooling at the end of November. Since we started after the school year began, we haven’t had the chance to attend any conferences yet.
Howdy,
I have a rambunctious 3 year old who I am trying to homeschool next year. I have noooo idea what to do or how to start and would very much LOVE to go to this. We live in Califorina and there is NO way I am subjecting my child to public education over here! Pick me pick me!! 🙂
My last name is Valdez not Baldez. Typo!
Hi my name is Kelly my children are 11, and 8. We have been homeschooling since the oldest was in first grade, both of my kids are competitive ski racers so homeschooling gives them flexibility to train. I have learn so much through all the blogs I have found and I am very excited to learn more! We would love to attend the Texas GHC as we have family there and visit often. Both my mom and step mom are retired Teachers and I would love for them to tag along and help me on my quest to find the best curriculum for my two children who are very different learners. Thank you for all the great info you post! Kelly
My boys are almost 3 & 10. We want to attend the convention in California because we are interested in experiencing all that homeschooling has to offer, as a family unit. Togetherness is what makes memories and I want them to feel like part of the team about their own education. We have been fans of both fb pages and love the work you do to help out those who are new to the process. Thanks! <3

We have two boys, 11 and 8. We are thinking of homeschooling and people have suggested going to the convention to assist with all the confusing (and overwhelming) decisions that go along with it.
I liked both Facebook pages.
My kids are 5 and 2, and I’m so excited for this convention! My hubby and I took the kids last year, and it was SO helpful, encouraging, and just plain wonderful.

I have a 2.5 year old and would love to gain more knowledge about homeschooling as it is my dream to homeschool and be more more proactive in my child’s learning.
My kids are 5 mo, 2, 4, 6, 8. Love this conference-it’s rejuvenating, refreshing, energizing-love the vendors too!

I have 2 children ages 7 & 9. My husband has never been to a conference & I would love for him to experience one. And, we love Dr. Ben Carson!!!
Kiddos are 1,3,5,7 and this convention is going to be a Mom only weekend!!!!!!!
I have two boys that are ages 7 and 4. Then my youngest is a girl and she is 3. We would love to go to a homeschool convention as a family. My husband would like to find out more about his role in homeschooling and I would love to here Dr. Ben Carson speak. Thanks for offering this giveaway!
My kids are (almost) 5, 7, 9 and 10. I’d like to go because this year has been really difficult for us as a family and those around us have put a lot if pressure on us to give ourselves a break and give up the homeschooling. We’ve had therapists harp on us about socialization and we could use some inspiration.

My beautiful children are 14, 10, and 6. We’ve homeschooled my oldest now for 4 years under a charter umbrella and now we are making the leap to homeschool all 3 on our own for the 2014/15 school year. I would love to go this convention and get some inspiration and encouragement. I’m so excited to see all the curriculum! Thanks for the chance!

My boys are 3 & 5! This is our first year homeschooling. We get our curriculum through our local public charter school. I’d love to find a more independent curriculum that is not common core! I’m sure the California homeschooling convention will help me find a choice that will allow us to learn more with less bookwork and apply more personal critical thinking. WE LOVE LEARNING!!! Thank you for this!
I have a 4 (almost 5) year old, a 2 1/2 year old, and one on the way (due in June). I have started doing preschool/tot school with my kids this year, but as we embark on our first Kindergarten year, I really want to start off on the right foot. I have been following about 5-6 homeschool blogs for inspiration and guidance, which is helpful, but have been wanting to do something more focused like attend a convention to answer a lot of questions I have. I would love to go to Homeschool 101 with Cathy Duffey, sit in on workshops/sessions about legal matters, best practices in teaching reading and math, network with other homeschool families, and visit the curriculum exhibitor’s hall.
I have also liked both GHC and Simple Homeschool on Facebook.
My kids are 5, 3, 21 months and 1 week. I would love to go to be motivated by the amazing speakers.
My children are 14 and 15, and we have been homeschooling five years. I have been to one homeschool convention, and would really like to attend another one. I could use a time of refueling and encouragement before our next school year.
My children are 4 and 6. I would love to attend the convention because next year will be my first year fully homeschooling. My son is in Kindergarten this year and we are doing traditional B&M school in the morning and homeschooling in the afternoon. For 1st grade, we will move to full homeschooling. I need help and inspiration!
My girls are 5 and 3.5. I’d love to go to the convention, cause I live in Cincinnati and I’m new to homeschooling. I’d love to hear Dr. Ben Carson speak! I “liked” both Facebook pages.

I have a 9 year old, 7 year old, and 5 year old. I love going to the convention. It is such a great time to check out curriculum options and to hear great speakers. I can research other options if current curriculum choices have not worked or learn how to more effectively use curriculum that is working. It is also a time to get motivated to stay the course with homeschooling because it isn’t always easy, and I find myself getting very discouraged at times throughout the year. It is perfect timing to get a reminder why we have chosen to homeschool in the first place.
Our son has been in a christian school since T-K, we have decided to homeschool next year. We will start our homeschool adventure this Fall with an only child who is 11, a 6th grader. We would like to come to the convention to learn how to begin!
I would love to go because I’ve never been to one! My kids are 10, 8, and 5.

Hi. My children range from 13, 12 and 9. My husband and I want to attend to aid in recharging us for the next school year. Our middle son wants to try out public school next year. I want to hear from other families how they handle the constant questions about public school from their children. We know we are doing the right thing for our children, but we need some more encouragement. It’s normal for him to be curious, but how do you help them understand it’s not the best thing for them?

My girls are almost 5, 2, 1 and one more on the way 🙂 I am planning on homeschooling my oldest in Kindergarten this upcoming fall and think the conference would be a great way for me to get a taste of what is out there so I can plan out her year.
I have 5 children still at home, 15, 9 6 & 4(twins). I’ve been attending the CHIA conference nearly every year for 16 years, but I keep hearing about Great Homeschool Conventions. This year, I’d love to check it out!

Hi Jamie..my kids are 21, 18 and 14…the two oldest are college students and our “baby” Sarah is our last homeschooler. She is a ninth grader and we haven’t been to a homeschool convention in several years. I would love for our family to attend the Ohio conference in April to breathe a little freshness into our homeschool. Sarah is particularly interested in gardening and would love to pursue a high school level botany course of study. She is studying Chinese with the hope to minister in China to orphans one day in the future. Thanks for the encouragement from your blog as well as this opportunity. God bless!
We have twin 6-year-olds, a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old…we’re just now starting to get into the thick of it as far as homeschooling goes, and an opportunity to be inspired and encouraged at this convention would be an amazing gift!!
I have four children ages 13, 4, 3, and 1. I would love to go to the convention to get re-fueled, re-energized, and to connect with other homeschool families.

My kids ages are 6, 4, and 1. I want to go to the homeschool conference to get ideas on how to teach a more multiage curriculum than what I have this year.
My oldest will turn 5 this summer, so we will be starting “primary” at home! I also have a 2.5 yr old and a 1 year old! I could use all thw help I can get and would gratefully love to attend the conference in Ontario as I am Canadian!
Ok. I obviously didnt read close enough and didnt realize there is an Ontario in California. 🙂 even better!
My children are 13, 11, 4, &2. We’ve been homeschooling for five years, and I think it’s about time we go to a conference!! This one sounds great!!
My children are 9, 4, 4, and 6 months old. This would be my first convention. I would love to just know more, and meet other home schooling folks from our area.
Thanks
My children are 12, 10, and 8 🙂 I love going to the conference for encouragement and checking out other curriculum I might have not seen otherwise. It’s also “date” for me and my husband and we get to check out our curriculum choices in person too. Thanks! 🙂
My children are 9, 7, 5, and 3. I would love to be able to view new curriculum without having to ask my friends to view theirs or to “chance” it by ordering it before viewing it. I also love to get together with others to learn from their experiences since we are newer to the homeschooling scene.
My kids are 6, 4 and 15 months. I would love to attend the convention in Greenville to hear encouraging speakers and look for Charlotte Mason curriculum!
My children are 21 and 5. My son went to ps and I just started homeschooling my daughter. I would love to attend this conference to see all the options out there and get the encouragement I need. Thanks for the giveaway!
Hello Jamie! My children are 1 and 4. I would absolutely love to go to the convention in Greenville. My heart keeps telling me to homeschool and I want to learn all I can about it. I am a former teacher and decided to stay home with my children, but have missed teaching. Homeschooling is a great way for me to fulfill my passion for teaching and give my children the best education possible.
My daughter, Madeline, is 6, and this will be our first year of homeschooling. The Greenville,SC convention would be a great way to help me get a jump start on networking and would really help me get answers to the legal side of homeschooling in SC. I have liked both of the FB pages ( I love Simple Homeschool)! Thanks!
I liked both sites!:) I hope I win!!!!
My children are 6 and 9 and we’re just looking into homeschooling as an option for the 2014-15 school year. Winning tickets to the convention would be a huge help to us financially and would be a great starting point for us to gather the tools, information, and much needed advice and encouragement needed to gain the courage to move forward!
Hi! I have a 7 year old son and it’s our first year homeschooling. I’d really like to attend a convention. I would love to hear the speakers and check out all of the different curriculum choices. I could use the encouragement and knowledge that I would gain from attending! Thank you! Amber
I would be so eternally grateful to be able to attend the ontario convention! my boys are 12,10and 8 years old. i could really use some encouragement in living and learning with disabilities and different learning styles. thank you
My daughter is 3 and I’m just in the first stages of thinking about homeschooling her when the time comes. I would love to get ideas and encouragement from attending the conference!

My children are 10, 7, 5, and 2. I would like to attend because even though I have been homeschooling for the past 5 years, I would like the opportunity to better equip myself with the knowledge to best teach my children. Also, it would be nice to receive encouragement and make friendships with other homeschool teachers. Since we have made the decision that I would stay home and homeschool our 4 children, as you know this sometimes means that we don’t have the monetary availability to attend opportunities like this. Thank you for the opportunity.
I would love to go to the convention in Ohio! 🙂 winning admission would be a tremendous blessing! I saw that there is a kids’ convention for ages 5 and up, is there any child care solution for younger children?
Oh, also, I liked both 🙂
Our boys are 14, 12, 11 & 9. We’ve been homeschooling the whole time and I could use some refreshment, encouragement, and fresh perspectives.
My children are 2 and 5. We just started kindergarten this year. I would love to take a look at all the different curriculum for myself and get to hold it in my hands. I would also love to get to hear Benjamin Carson speak. I have just read his book Gifted Hands, which is awesome.
Would love to win! I have three kids (7, 4, 2) and it is so encouraging to hear from speakers (in person!) and be encouraged in homeschooling!
I have a 9yo boy and a 7 yo girl. I have never been to a homeschool convention and would love to go to one someday!
Our kids are 7, 5, and almost 3. We’d love to go just for some encouragement. I’ve got a large virtual circle of homeschooling friends, but it would be nice to be with a few irl sometimes too!

As an adoptive mother of 3 school age kids (3, 5, and 7), I want to be able to provide amazing educational opportunities for my children. Next school year will be our first year educating at home and we couldn’t be more excited but nervous at the same time. I would love to win the passes to the Ohio convention in April to get our new family ready for our first year of educating at home. I think this would get us started on the right foot by being able to learn from the best in the industry. Thank you for the opportunity!

My daughter is 10 years old and we will begin homeschooling for the first time next year. I can use all the information available!
My boys are five and two. My eldest was recently diagnosed with Autism (Asperger’s) and after a failed attempt in a DOD public school, and a lot of praying, we decided to homeschool! Although, I find myself in need of encouragement and a greater knowledge of the homeschooling world to feel more confident in my ability to teach my children. My husband and I would be incredibly grateful for this opportunity!
My twin daughters are 2.5 and God has laid it on my heart to homeschool them. I was a professional teacher but I have no idea how to homeschool. I want to learn about the curriculum and lifestyle all in one place. Plus, the ohio convention (my home state) is during my birthday weekend! Please give me a great educational birthday getaway!

My children are 13, 10, 6, 3 and one due July 2. This is our 5th year of homeschooling and I have never been to a convention! I always chicken out because I’m afraid I would end up leaving feeling overwhelmed and inadequate. Of all the conferences I’ve researched, the GHC is the most appealing to me…such an awesome group of encouraging speakers! A group of moms from our Classical Conversations group is going to the Greenvile, SC conference and I would love to join them!
I like GHC on Facebook. I also like and subscribe to Simple Homeschool!
My kids are 8,6,4,3, and 2 months. We have been homeschooling for 4 years and I’m reaching the point where I need the motivation that a conference can give. Burnout is coming with so many little ones in the house and not enough hours in the day.
My kids are 18, 17, 14, 11. I’d love to go because I homeschool and would love to look at some materials I am considering, and I love workshops!

I have a 7 year old daughter, 4 year old son and a 20 month old daughter. My husband and I have attended the convention in the past. It is a great opportunity to draw strength from other homeschooling parents. I know that each year we have gone I have been encouraged! Thank you for this opportunity.
Also liked your facebook page, was already following simple homechool!
My boys are 4 and 1. I’m really interested in homeschooling my boys, but honestly, I don’t know where to start. It’s all very overwhelming. The convention seems like a good place to get started. Thank you very much!
My two boys are 10 and 7. I am from a small town in Mississippi, and I really need the encouragement. I want my boys to see how many people actually homeschool, and give them some encouragement, too.
My daughter is 3 years old, and I would like to attend one of these conferences because I’ve just recently made the decision to stop looking for a good preschool and to continue her homeschooling instead – and I need to know more!

I have 1 child, my daughter Dakota who is 6. This is our first year homeschooling and though it has been a bumpy road, who have found a common ground that is working for us right now. Before the weather turned cold, we were having loads of out door fun with her lessons and we are really looking forward to warmer days again. I am planning to attend the convention in Greenville, one because I am looking to hearing a couple of the speakers, but mostly because I want to visit the curriculum exhibit!! This year I have been pulling from many resources to create a curriculum for Dakota, but I would really love to be able to put my handa on a curriculum I can look through before investing my money! The the thought of ordering a curriculum before I see it and it not working for my child just worries, because lets face it.. box curriculums arent cheap! I would love to win this, but even if I don’t, I was ecstatic to see the 10% off discount for simplehomeschool! Every little bit helps! Thank you! 🙂
7, 4, 18 months. We are new to homeschooling (started last year) and we would love to d ome encouragement.
My children are 8 and 5 years old. Though we’ve been schooling at home for three years, I’ve yet to attend a large conference. I had been intimidated by them in the past, but resolved to “get out there” this year. This speaker line-up is worth getting excited about!

My kids are 7 and 8. I would love to attend this conference to help prepare for our upcoming first year of homeschooling. After two and a half years of public school, we’ve decided that we’re ready to expand our sons’ educational opportunities through homeschooling. This would be a great opportunity to network with other families that have made this leap.
My daughter is 6. We would love to attend the conference in OH to be able to check out curriculum and other resources. I am new to home schooling and overwhelmed with options and a very much hands on person that would love to be able to flip through books and meet other more experienced homeschoolers and get their advice. I also think it would be a fun little get away for my family and I’m sure my daughter would love to check out the kids conference!

I’m new to the idea of homeschooling. Would love to attend the conventions and learn more about it.
We would LOVE to attend one of these conferences. I’ve been ignoring the call to homeschool for 2 years now, but couldn’t ignore it any longer. We pulled our daughter out of school after Christmas break. Our kids are 4 and 6 and we need some direction and support in this endeavor. We’d really love to be successful at it! Thank you!!!
My kids are 6, 4, and 2. We are in the middle of our first year homeschooling our oldest. Sometimes I feel like I’m swimming against the stream because most of my friends don’t homeschool. Any chance I could have to continue to fan this flame within me would be great! Thanks!

Ours are 13, 12 and 10. We would love to go to the Texas Convention. I think it would encourage us and we may even be able to encourage others. This would be a first time for my husband to be able to go with us. We have been to one other convention in OK.
I have also liked both pages on fb.
Thanks for the offer. This is our second year and I would not trade it for anything. We start our daughter next year. She is 4 and my boys are 10 and 11!
My children are 9, 6, 3, and 1. I would absolutely love to go to the great homeschool convention, because I had always thought I couldn’t homeschool because of my oldest childs issues. Three weeks before school started I was convinced by some homeschooling moms that I needed to homeschool because of his issues. The more I read the more I knew they were right. With little time to prepare I pulled my two oldest out of school.. no time to research curriculums and on a tight budget ebayed all of the most common curriculum I knew of (Abeka). Great curriculum and working well for my younger son. I need something very different for my older son. This convention will really educate me hopefully not only on the different types of curriculum, but also different styles so that I can help all four of my children be the best that they can be. Not tobe mention I need anyto organizational tips I canhave get. 🙂 Thanks, Kimberly
Liked both on facebook. 🙂
My children are 3 and 4. I have done homeschooling for pre school and I really love it. I plan to keep on for kindergarten and feel excited to learn about my kids and what approach or combination of approaches fit our family. I would love to win this as the timing would be perfect.
I have liked your site and the conference site on FB.
My kids are 16, 5, 4, 2 and 8 months. I am just getting started teaching my younger ones. I would love the chance to learn more about curriculum choices, as well as attending the workshops and just being around other homeschooling families. There aren’t many where we live and it would be nice to get some encouragement.
I also like both pages.
My kids are 16,12,10,9 and 6. Attended last year was amazing. We live in Colo so a big trip for us.
I have an 8, 6,4, 5months,1 month old. I would love to go. So many resources in one place. This is our first year to homeschool so this is all still really new to me.
I liked both pages as well.
I have an almost 8yo son, 6yo son, 4yo daughter, 2yo son, & 3mo daughter. We are in our 3rd year of homeschooling. I have never attended a homeschool conference before and have been looking to attend one before the fall this year. I am definitely in need of some inspiration and encouragement and I think this convention would be an awesome opportunity! Thank you!
I already liked the Great Homeschool Conventions page! =) Thank you again for the opportunity!
The children I homeschool are 20 (Russian abortion survivor, thus delayed development) & 10. I would like to attend because I lead different life now and need the encouragement to press on. After 25+ years married and 15+ years hs’ing, I am now a single mom due to an unwanted/unexpected divorce. What a blessing this would be. 🙂
I have a 4 year old and we’re just getting started with decisions like curriculum and groups and such. I’d love to explore these options at the convention
My boys are 4 and 22 months. I am considering pull ing my 4 yo out of school as he is crying every morning saying “I don’t want to go to school!”. It takes hours to finish homework. I believe the structured schooling is not right for my son and felt with homeschooling I can nuture his learning capabilities.
Liked both pages.
I have a 4, 7, and 8 year old and I would love to go to GHC because we have not yet been to a major convention.
I “like” Simple Homeschool and GHC
I “LIKED” Great Homeschool Conventions page. Thank you for introducing me to them.
I liked Simple Homeschool, too.
My daughter is 11 years old. I’ve been homeschooling her all her life. I have never been to a homeschool convention.
Ages 17,10 and 8
Never been to a convention.Would love to get inspired and see what other families are doing successfully.The networking with other parents atending the conferwnce would be a helpful tool as well.
