Spring is in the air and it’s home education conference time! I’m excited to be heading to the NCHEA Conference this weekend, where dd#5 will be recognized with the other graduates this year, and also plan to attend the CHEC Conference in Denver in June.
Home ed conferences are our “teacher training” and encouragement to keep on keeping on. I believe we all need this kind of boost each year. There are two types of home ed conferences. The first type is a general conference, such as the state conferences are. They cover many types of home education and reach out to all. The second type is a specialized conference geared toward a particular approach to home education. They are generally more helpful in the practical application of home educating in the style you choose. Both are important, as each provides for different needs.
Although I highly recommend “getting out” to a conference where you can see and handle the resources and visit face to face with the vendors and workshop presenters and meet other home educating parents face to face, I know that isn’t always possible for everyone every year. If this is a year you “can’t go”, there are still options for you. In my next couple of post, we’ll explore a couple of those options, both a general and a specialized conference. Stay tuned.
For today, Are you planning on attending a Home Education Conference this year? Which one/where? What do you like best about home ed conferences? Post your replies in the comments.

I haven’t updated this blog since my post on Chris Klicka, the day he was hospitalized in Colorado Springs, during the HSLDA Leaders Conference.
.
The lack of posts hasn’t been because things have been dull here, or because I had no more updates on Chris, or because I had nothing education related to post. Health and Life Skills have been emphasized and I’ve been posting on that on my ‘from me’ blog. I’ve also updated on Chris over there, and today posted on his homecoming. Today he sees Jesus face to face. I also was tempted to rename my ‘from me’ blog – Never a Dull Moment. Life has been busy at Me and My House.
.
I hope you’ve been following my musings and random ramblings over at ‘from me’. If not, click on over there and catch up. There are several new posts on nutrition, health helps, homemaking, and new RECIPES! Don’t forget to bookmark and/or subscribe to the ‘from me’ blog. If I’m not posting here, most likely I am there. And it’s all related.
.
And don’t miss the upcoming, ultimate health and life skills class for you and your teens.

The best birthday celebration is a get together, and in June we have our biggest annual get together for Me and My House ministries – Freedom & Simplicity™ of Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ ~ The Seminar LIVE!
We’d love to have you join us for this full day seminar on Biblical home education!

No birthday celebration is complete without gifts of blessing either. For our birthday celebration , you get the blessing. For the month of June we’re offering 3 of our core Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ Exclusive Resources for 1 fantastic special price.
Freedom & Simplicity™ of Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ ~ The Seminar (audios and handouts) AND
Freedom & Simplicity™ of HisStory AND
PIPEline of HisStory
These 3 resources will help you lay a good foundation and get started in Freedom & Simplicity™ in home education – for ONLY $45 for the month of June 2009!
What else for a March Special than our HisStory resources! It builds perfectly on Freedom & Simplicity™ of Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ ~ The Seminar. (You did remember to get that in February, didn’t you?)
Freedom & Simplicity™ in HisStory and PIPEline of HisStory™ remain our customer’s favorite L.E.D. Exclusives, because they do help you put into action the philosophy and principles taught in The Seminar. (See what they’re saying at the book’s links.) Freedom & Simplicity™ in HisStory is a great introduction to learning and teaching based on biblical principles, for the subject that is the backbone of our curriculum. PIPEline of HisStory™ is a common sense, super easy to use, wall timeline (that can also be made into a early learner’s book, or used as dividers in an older child’s PIPEline Journal.) The PIPEline of HisStory™ will help you put all of HisStory into the context of the advancing of God’s Kingdom and Liberty.
For the month of March you can get both of these popular resources for even less! And even add our third HisStory resource, PIPEline™ Book of Remembrance, for half of its sale price. The PIPEline™ Book of Remembrance is a timeline in a book, (based on the PIPEline of HisStory™,) that you and your older students create as you study.
Whoo-hoo! We’ve been working around the clock on this JUST FOR YOU –
JUST IN TIME for your Thanksgiving Studies!
