  2. Our family is excited to attend the Southeast Homeschool Convention in Greenville, SC. We like that there will be an optional children’s program and we look forward to hearing John Rosemond speak.

  3. Stephanie says:

    This sounds amazing!! What a great list of speakers. Thanks for the chance!

  4. Oh my gosh. I’m up at 1am reading about HOW the heck to convince my husband to let me homeschool our kids, for their sake, for my sake, for our family’s sake. This is JUST the thing to help me out!

  5. Sounds fun! Does “family registration” mean a family of four, or does it mean your whole family, no matter how many kids you have? 🙂

  6. I’ve been wanting to get to one of these for the last few years. I’d love to win! Thanks.

  7. This looks amazing! So happy they have one so close to where I live. Thanks!

Then I have a 4th grader, 2nd grader, kindergartener, and preschooler. But I still feel like I have no clue what I’m doing most of the time!

  55. This is so exciting! I attended a small Homeschool Conference in Eastern MA this summer, and was amazed at the amount of helpful information that I came away with…I can imagine that there are even more resources available at these 🙂

    This is our first year Homeschooling our kids and it would be so nice to go to a convention next year and see materials and other homeschoolers so my children don’t feel like they are the only ones. We live in a small town and no one we know home schools their children here so finding material, advice and common ground for our children is difficult. Thanks so much for offering this!

  81. This is one of my most favourite blogs and it would be great to also attend a homeschool convention. 🙂
