What if You Can’t Attend a Homeschool Convention?

One of my favorite things each year is attending homeschool conventions. Over the past few years I have been fortunate to be both a speaker and attendee and several different conventions across the U.S. – speaking with Teach Them Diligently and attending the HEAV Convention in Virginia. It’s been both amazing to share my heart but also receive and listen to speakers on a variety of topics. 

But what if you can’t attend a local homeschool convention because of travel or the overall cost? If you would love to be encouraged right from a comfy chair in your own home, can I offer a solution? 

I’ve been listening to several of the sessions from the Digital Homeschool Convention, which is a part of the Build Your Bundle sale until Tuesday, May 30th. It is included in the Homeschool Helps bundle ($19.95) and features the following session topic and speakers and is normally $79.99! (p.s. I would HIGHLY recommend the sessions with Dr. Scott Turansky.)

If you are interested in anything related to parenting and anger management with kids, I would also highly recommend the Parenting is Heart Work resource (normally $49.99) that is included in the Character bundle or can be added to the Build Your Own premium bundle (this is what I did!!).  

I LOVE that this resource has lifetime access. One of the things I appreciate most after attending sessions is the ability to go back and listen to talks because sometimes I hear things differently or at a much needed time! Other times I just need a refresher. 

If you are at a point where you need a little, be sure to check out the deal happening only through Tuesday in the Homeschool Helps bundle – so many great sessions! And don’t forget the Buy 2 Bundles & Get 1 FREE option as well!!
