Last weekend while my kiddies were living up life at Grandmother’s farm I had a weekend at the Titus 2:1 Conference.
The 2:1 Conference is an event for Christian homeschool bloggers to connect and encourage one another. A Journey Through Learning Lapbooks was my sponsor for this weekend of refreshment.
My reoccurring theme for the conference: Jesus, Homeschool & Blogging.
I was able to meet several bloggers who I’ve admired for some time. This little lady in the picture above is Toni Anderson from The Happy Housewife. She has 7-kids, blogs, homeschools and is married to the military. My kind of lady.
This is Tabitha from MeetPenny.com I know, her name is not Penny…it’s a long story that you can read about here. 😉 She was my wonderful room-mate. It was fun to stay up late and talk about–wait for it–Jesus, homeschool and blogging.
It seems every time I go to a conference I have to do something for attention, like the time my baby and I were trapped in an elevator (<—yes, there’s a video of it) during the Relevant Conference. For this trip I just knew that I had it all together. The kids were at my moms for a few days. I had plenty of time to pack. So using my great wisdom I waited until the morning that I was supposed to leave to pack (because again, minus 5-kiddies, I had time). Ha, ha, ha on myself I didn’t hear my alarm, woke up an hour before I was supposed to meet Jolanthe, and ran around like a mad woman. For added fun I couldn’t find my bank card. So I knew, yes I knew, that God wanted me at the 2:1 Conference.
…and now I show you a fruit platter; the food was amazing!

Another wonderful thing that happened at the conference was I did a phone interview for the Homeschool How-To Conference. Now this is where I conference hop and talk about my new site for a minute. Part of my life as a homeschool blogger mom is now running a 2nd site, because God likes to keep me completely dependent on Him, FreeHomeschoolDeals.com. My new site is now a month old (I told my hubby it’s our 6th baby) and was a sponsor of the Homeschool How-To Conference (are you keeping your conferences straight in this post?) If you’d like to hear how Holy Spirit-led Homeschooling come to be, how the Lord put FreeHomeschoolDeals.com on my heart, or just how in the world I blog with five sweet kiddies, then I have a treat for you.
