When I attended and spoke at the 2013 convention in Ohio, I was truly impressed with the professionalism and organization that had gone into the event.

    I have been homeschooling 10 years. We’ve been to several state conventions, but never to a Great Homeschool Convention. Hoping to be able to attend the one in Texas. Thanks!!

  3. Cristy S.

    What a great giveaway, thanks!
    I have two homeschooling experiences. I homeschooled my stepson his last year of high school, and currently homeschool my daughter and have done so for the last 5 years. The two experiences are radically different!
    I would choose the Cincinnati location if I won!

  5. Mama Rachael

    We’ve been ‘unschooling’ for nearly 3 1/2 years now… but then Little Man is only 3 1/2. we are striving to make learning an integral part of our everyday. I loved listening to Jim Weiss on the read aloud podcast. We would totally go to the Fort Worth convention. I have friends in Ohio, but not sure the hubby would be up for it. 😛

  19. Becca Hubble

    This is our 5th year of homeschooling, and we’ve not yet attended one of the Great Homeschool Conventions, although I would really love to! We just moved to Ohio this past year, so the Cincinnati convention would be perfect!

  20. AmyC

    I have been homeschooling for almost one year. I would choose the South Carolina convention, because it is closest to my home. Thank you for the opportunity to win this wonderful package!

  22. Amanda

    I’ve been homeschooling for negative 0.9 years—or for positive 7.5 years, depending on how you look at it. The road to homeschooling has been a long and twisting one for me, but now our family is ready to jump into this adventure with open minds and hearts. We’re so excited to start in the fall of next year!!! Attending one of these conventions would really help us tie up loose ends.

  23. Rachel

    I’ve been homeschooling now for 7 years! I have 4 great kids ages 6-13 and we have truly loved the adventure of homeschooling. I will be attending the South Carolina conference this year. Thanks for the chance to participate and maybe win this great prize. Have a great week!

    I’ve been homeschooling my 3 kiddos for nearly 10 years. I’ve attended the Cincinnati convention twice before and it is sooo awesome. I live in Saskatchewan but have friends and relatives close to Cincinnati, so we make the long trip to attend the convention. I’d love to do it again:)

  91. Kelly

    This is our very first year of homeschooling my prior public school attending children. We SO need this opportunity and am prayerful this would help me in our decision to further home educate. I reside in the Cincinnati area and would attend the convention here in Ohio if I won.

  93. Debbie

    I’m in my 4th year of homeschooling and would love to travel to South Carolina…as well as attend my first conference.

  97. Christie Jo Rooks

    I am a mother of 4. I will begin my homeschooling journey beginning next school year. I would love to go to the convention in Cincinnati to learn more before we begin.

  99. stacy g

    How long? Well, let’s see, my oldest is almost 9 and we’ve always been homeschoolers! We’d go to SC. Thanks for the generous giveaway!

  103. Jaci Lopez

    I have already been following both pages and we’ve been homeschooling solo for 2 years and through K12 for 2 years prior.

  108. Dayna

    I haven’t begun actually homeschooling yet, as my oldest is currently only two, but plan to do preschool in a couple years 🙂
    I’d go to the Ohio convention.

  109. Jenny

    We have been homeschooling for 1 year, and I would pick the Ontario convention. I wanted to go to the 2013 one, and we couldn’t make it work, so this would be fantastic!

  112. lolo

    we have been homeschooling for 7 years now! would absolutely love to attend the Ontario,california convention. thx

  117. ashle

    I’ve been homeschooling for 2 years and have yet to attend a convention. I’m thinking that right now, in this season, a little inspiration could do me some good. I would attend the Texas convention if given the chance.

  127. Karen

    We “officially” started homeschooling in July. (unofficially, since our son was born)
    I would probably pick Cincinnati, OH. I think it’s the closest. 🙂

  128. Lydia Hostetler

    My oldest is turning 15 soon and we’ve been at it since he turned 5.. So this is our 10th year. And I would have to choose Cinncinnatti, Ohio as that is the closest to me, yet its still over 7 hours away.

  130. Dana

    We’ve been homeschooling for 8 years now. Cincinnati is the closest location for us, but we’re planning a late winter trip to TX, mixing music ministry with visits to our friends and my hubby’s alma mater, Arlington Baptist College, so Ft. Worth might work too. That way we’d get to see Dr. Carson speak!
