tulips in the spring

tulips in the spring

I am truly loving the spring weather we have been having. Everything is blooming in this area and the colors are beautiful. The place where my hubby works at has the flower beds full of tulips. This year, they decided to add in smaller flowers all around the bed. Just beautiful. My pictures definitely do not do them justice.

2:1 Conference, I’m Going, Are YOU??

2:1 Conference, I’m Going, Are YOU??

I am so excited!  I am going to the 2:1 Conference this year!  What is 2:1 Conference? This comes straight from their website:

“2:1 is the premier conference for bloggers like you – mothers, in the trenches of homeschooling, with hearts for God.  What are your desires for your faith, your homeschool, your blog this year?  Would you like these to grow in His grace?  Then join us.
You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine. ~ Titus 2:1
This conference is based on Titus 2:1, but we’re not here to indoctrinate you.  This is a welcoming home for all denominations to come together, make new friends, be encouraged in homeschool and learn about social media – all with biblical principles and foundations. 
2:1 has a knowledgeable and fun group of speakers waiting to share their expertise.  We’re ready to laugh with you, grow with you — and hug your neck!  We’ll see you there.”

When I first learned about the conference last year, I knew this was the one conference that I wanted to attend.   I just had to figure out a way to get there.  While I thought the price of the ticket was worth it, I just didn’t know how I could work it into our budget.  Thanks to the help from The Homeschool Village, See The Light decided to sponsor me!  I am so thankful and blessed that See The Light is giving me a chance to go to the conference.

Why do I want to attend this conference over any of the other conferences that are out there?  I love what 2:1 Conference stands for.  They want to help moms like me who love God, loves to share my faith and who love to blog learn more about social media to help others who homeschool.  Ever since I started homeschooling, I have always wanted to help new homeschooling families begin their journey.  I want to encourage them and help them any way I can.  Social media is one of the best ways to do that in this day and time.

As you can tell, I am extremely excited.  I am also thankful that God saw fit to allow everything to work out to where I could attend.  It is my goal to go to this conference, to learn as much as I can and come back to share it with all of my readers.  I would love to know if any of my readers will be attending this conference.  I would love to meet as many of you as I can.  Just look for a short and fluffy blonde headed blue-eyed chick with a grin from ear to ear!

Blessings!

spring time is here!

spring time is here!

This post is picture heavy today. I was outside enjoying everything that I saw blooming. Thought I would share some of the beautiful flowers that are in and around our home.

Oh, I am still around.  Don’t give up on me yet!  I have been so busy with the family and school, that blogging has taken a back seat.  I have missed being here and hope to get in a routine soon!

I will also be switching to WordPress soon.  I won an awesome blog makeover from Honeycomb Design Studio.  I have seen several blogs that Honey and her husband have created and I am so excited!

Off to work on a few posts for this next week!

See The Light Review

See The Light Review

I have been looking for an art curriculum for my children and I do believe I have found the one that is right for our family. It is See The Light art curriculum with master artist Pat Knepley.  They have an awesome team of artists that teach children from the basics.  The lessons come 4 to a Volume (dvd) and are about 10-15 minutes long.    They have 9 volumes out.   See The Light also has several story DVD’s where they tell a bible story and also include art lessons.

Come on by The Homeschool Village to read the rest of my review of See The Light!

“Anything Goes”

“Anything Goes”

My oldest daughter is part of a wonderful dance studio, Triple Threat Performing Arts Academy. This past weekend, the older musical theater group put on the musical “Anything Goes”. My daughter played the part of the Purser. She loved it! She really did an awesome job and we are so proud of her. Music and dance has become a huge part of her life. Nothing like seeing your daughter up on stage performing.

The whole group did an outstanding job on the musical.  We are looking forward to the next one.  Here are a few pictures from the performance.
