In a few short days (3 to be exact) I will be driving to the next Midwest Homeschool Convention. I look forward to this event every year. It is a place to reflect on our current school year. In that reflection time we look back at what we used this year and liked and what we didn't like. I also spend a minute or two (okay really like a few hours each night the week before) looking over the vendor list and speaker lists. I try to make a game plan to tackle this exciting, yet overwhelming event. This year there are over 300 exhibitors! There are many, many speakers talking on topics from homeschooling high school to what to do with the little ones and more.
My husband was able to rearrange his schedule this time so that I am able to spend the night in the city and make the most of the time the convention is going on. This convention is about an hour from us. I feel so blessed to be going again with my best fried. She has been an awesome support to me over the past 5 years on the homeschooling front. I am so grateful for her guidance and support. The convention can be checked out at http://www.midwesthomeschoolconvention.com/.

Spring is here! A new season of adventure...Maybe.
According to the calendar Spring was supposed to start on March 20, I believe. As I sit her thinking about the events we have canceled this week due to the weather I wonder when it "officially" will come.
As a little girl Spring was always my favorite season of the year. I love to hear the birds chirping for the first time again. I love to see the grass slowly becoming green again. You could hear the gentle warmer breezes brushing up against the trees as if they were saying "Good morning, it's time to wake up".
Right now our Spring is consisting of temperatures that are in the mid 40's. If it is not the temperature that is keeping us in the house it is the rain. The saying goes April showers bring May flowers. However, were we supposed to build another arch? We have planted our flowers in the house this year to start because it has been too cold to set them out.
I know that Spring is right around the corner. Waiting for it to blossom. Waiting for the children to be able to explore outside in God's amazing world that he has created for us. I do like winter and the blanket that God puts on the earth during this time of the sleeping season. However I can't wait to get out and be in the warmer weather. Spring where are you??
