20 Best Tips

Back from the BEECH Conference

This past weekend {and a few extra days}, I spent time with a most BEECH Conferenceamazing group of ladies at the BEECH Conference. A handful of homeschool moms gathered to talk more about a vision for a different type of conference for homeschool moms taking place in 2013.

Though our numbers were small, I cannot even begin to tell you how much I gleaned from the weekend. Most importantly, I was blessed beyond measure with the relationships that were developed and deepened over the course of a few days.

I shared a room with two ladies that I am now able to call friends in real life as well as online ~ Jimmie from Jimmie’s Collage and Maureen from Spell Outloud. While I’ve known them online for quite some time now, being able to spend time with them in person and know their personalities ~ just too much fun. There were some late nights, deep conversations and my heart really cannot begin to explain all that happened.

The rest of the weekend involved a lot of talking, hands-on learning with each other, lots of laughter and plain ol’ fun.
