I have a friend who makes her kids run laps around the house. Don't obey? Run 5 laps and try again.. :)

Now, THAT'S funny :)

:)

:) I was thinking "no" just line up your extra shoes by the door :)

Wall paper stores can give you their sample books... sometimes :) and it makes really beautiful crafts :)

I would go to Washington, too!!! I'd love to carpool :)

Is it crazy to think that I could have Speakers Christian & Not Christians.... at the same conference.... and everyone play nice?? Have you ever been to one like this?? If so, can you tell me about it or give me a link?? I want an "Academic Conference" ... is this doable?? What says the Hive?? :bigear:

Well, we can stick together :) I promise I'll take the bullets for ya!! And there might be some other WTMers that would come.... And... well... I don't think that OHEN would have much curriculum for me.... Although if anyone knows it would, let me know! And.... maybe Jim Weiss will be there.... That'd be happy :) I'd bring my curriculum to a gathering, but I'm pretty basic right now... as I'm only hsing my 7 year old. I have Hebrew, Latin, Math (2nd grade!!), Handwriting Without Tears, and Memoria Press Bible and.... Famous Men of Series... (well... and then the many other books on my shelves..) Oh, for fun he asks to listen to SOTW and Jim Weiss cds... does that count as school?? :)

I want a more classical feel; I actually like the people I've met from there.... (leadership wise) but I just don't think it's my niche.... But, neither is OCEAN, although I appreciate the leaders that I know there. It's just not a conference for a second generation hser in my opinion... or at least not for me. I may go check out curricula... :)

Hey Lisa, I sent you a pm... Just to start... I wouldn't have Voddie Baucham again... But... that's just the start... :) Are you going in June? I may go check out curricula; if you are .... let me know... I would probably go just to meet you :)

If you would want to help put one on in the PDX area, pm me with how serious you are, what you're wanting... (do you want Christian.... secular.... or...well... the "obligatory other" :)) Let me know if you think summer of 2012 would work for you... and if you've helped put anything like this together..... I have no doubt that I can spearhead it... but I know it takes a crew and not just one person :)

Pop :)

I'm not Directing a CC program anymore :) I'm directing another program :) Good Luck!

Ok, So, Come Summer 2012 I'd love a Homeschool Conference in the Portland/Salem, OR area. I'd love to hear your "Perfect World" list of speakers :) I have a list going, and am shifting through what my dream would be. Of course, then cost, time schedule, and all the other factors... happen.... and your list gets shorter :( If there are people I want to hear... but wouldn't know about... put those people on, too. Of course, then I remembered that when you put something together, you don't get to hear the speakers... you're too busy running around. Anyway, Who to dream of having?? And, how would the Conference be run?? How many days?? Etc... :)

May God be praised and His people stand in unity; prayers for SWB and her family :)

I read the caption and thought "WHAT" she's asking SWB about babies?? Oh yeh... at conferences :) Maybe throwing hershey kisses :)

Oh Good Heidi, so did I!!! I'd love to work with you!! ;) (And yes, Salem would be great!!... oh wait... what's half way between Salem and Albany??) :D

Well, I don't know a good answer to your question, so I'll let you know what I thought when I saw the post. "When can you come to the Portland, OR area?" I already emailed with your office, and now... something was broken in the link.... and... I would LOVE to hear what you put together summer of 2012!!! Wanna come our way?? :)

YES!!! We can plan it together??? Or you would at least just come?? I would LOVE to do this... I would love to just be with her with just a small group... but that feels so selfish!!! (Is small better than large??) And what kind of $$$ do I need to drum up??? I can do it!!! I'm a good fundraiser :)

Ok, I keep looking for people from Salem, OR :) or Portland!! Can't we do this here?? But, i guess I want bigger than just around the living room. I can't imagine anyone not wanting to come... So..... here?? :) Please??

This is much better spam than some of the rest... Hey Leonidas... what other posts are you gonna spam today?? (if it's not really spam, apologies... it just is VERY suspicious..)

Can you plug them into a larger screen? Just curious!! And congrats!! What did you name her/him? :)

Hey!!! I'm in Salem, OR and we would LOVE to do this!! :) We can find the space, but a house would be too small :) I LOVE to organize and plan :) It's TOTALLY doable and something I'd like to do ;)

Hmmm.... Well, I'm not sure. I don't think it's a huge deal... but I have olders down to age 7. I am in Oregon, though :) Are you around Salem?? Pm me if you are :) :)

Well, If I were you, I would relax.... take a few weeks off... and enjoy your new spot. I would work on times tables with your 12 and 9 year old... watch some School House Rock.... take field trips wherever you're going. I would listen to SOTW to the place where you want to start history... even if you don't want to use it for your whole history curriculum.... My son LOVEs listening to them... as does my older daughter. I would get library books and have them available... Choose some of different subjects. Unpack... Relax... Try to enjoy :)
