I wanted to share with you about these NEW and exciting mini-conferences that are being organized by Teach Them Diligently!! They are called Marketplace events.
You may remember that I recently went to a Teach Them Diligently homeschool conference in Nashville. I have shared all my notes from my favorite sessions as well!! {The Clarksons, Mark Hamby, Norm Wakefield, Deb Bell and Pam Tebow.} It was an amazing time of encouragement.
I shared this on facebook, but truthfully, the Lord provided for me to attend that conference and He knew that I needed it desperately. As moms and especially moms that homeschool, we rarely get a break. And, sometimes after months and months of the hard stuff, we need a break. Plain and simple. I needed more than a break, though, I needed some encouragement to keep us this homeschooling journey.
And that is exactly what I got.
Because I feel so strongly that we need this time, I’m excited to share with you NINE more opportunities around the country for this same time of encouragement!!
Here are some reasons the Marketplace events are unique:
- shorter time frame ~ 1.5 days instead of 3-4
- cheaper!! $15 family registration (which includes $10 vendor hall coupon!)
- there will still be a “vendor hall” with thousands of books available for sale
- the first day is an Apologia mom’s retreat 5-9pm (THIS is what I would LOVE!)
- 4 main speakers throughout the next day
- stations set up for vendors so you can ask questions about their curriculum products
- GREAT way for someone new to homeschooling to just get their feet wet!
Now, if you’re like me, you may be drooling over this event and wishing there was one closer to you!! Well, check out the locations and see if there is one that is a possibility for you!
