We attended our states homeschool conference this weekend. It was great. It's always nice to get away with Paul without the children, but to attend this conference also was a bonus. We heard Ken Ham, Kevin Swanson, Turansky and Miller, Rhea Perry and Mary Hood. I enjoyed them all, but especially the workshops by Turansky and Miller. They give very practical advice on raising children- I would encourage you to check out their books. I also enjoyed Mary Hood. I remember reading her book, "The Relaxed Homeschooler" many years ago when we first started homeschooling and it was nice to hear her in person. She is very balanced in the area of homeschooling and child rearing and in taking care of mom so mom can take care of everyone else.
Our state does a wonderful job in putting on this conference and we plan to go every year that we are able.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot! We were so privileged to hear the Eden String Quartet at the conference. They are amazing. The quartet is made up of four sisters who have a great testimony. Franklin Springs made a DVD of their life called "A Bountiful Blessing"- a must see.
