Jenna and I are back from the Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cinci where we were blessed, once again, to work The Old Schoolhouse booth!!
Isn't that the cutest little booth worker you ever saw? Now...HOW could anyone resist buying a subscription from her - the deal is great enough - but how could you resist that sweet smile?! lol She was SUCH a great help and she had a far better time than she thought she would at working a booth for the 1st time. So many of her homeschool friends were there and stopped by to say 'hi' and that really made her day.
I hope that if you were there that you got a chance to say 'hi' to Kris and Jim Price. Kris works for TOS and they are so much fun to work with. What great booth-mates! At one point, things were so busy on Friday that we couldn't even look at their end of the table for 2 hours! It was awesome!
Here's our TOS gang: Spunky, Jim, Kris, Jenna and me. Also there was Karen "Spunky" Braun from her famous blog: www.spunkyhomeschool.blogspot.com If you don't read it yet, you need to start. Very smart, very engaging, very thought-provoking. If you want a blog that will make you think, that's it. Spunky did a workshop on blogging and was blogging live throughout the convention. She's so much fun - we worked together at the TOS booth at CHEO in '08, too. Great to see you again, Spunk!
So many bloggers know Jen Ig and her lovely blogging daughter, Coie. They were there representing Rosetta Stone Language curriculum. Two of my favorite people! We hadn't seen each other since last year's CHEO. Here's Coie hard at work - all the booth workers were really hoppin'!
Here's Jen Ig and sweet Marsha Drews during a rare lull in the action on Saturday. Many of you know Marsha from right here on HSB from her great blog: www.homeschoolblogger.com/drewsfamilytx. What a doll! I SO enjoyed meeting her - all the way from TEXAS! We had a sweet conversation and shared our hearts. Marsha - what a pleasure to finally meet you!!
Here's a fun group! lol This is Jen Ig, Coie, me and blogger Julie Park! Hers is another blog you must read, if you don't already ~ www.inlightofeternity.wordpress.com. What a FUN girl!
I know what you're thinking..."Now, THERE'S trouble!" lol Really, we didn't cause any at all! There were SO MANY incredible bloggers that came up and introduced themselves to me! THANK YOU ALL FOR TAKING THE TIME! Seriously, there had to have been at least 50. I could kick myself that I didn't think of this sooner, but it wasn't until late afternoon on Friday that I thought of writing down the blog friends who stopped by...I mentioned Marsha, Julie, Jay and Deb, but there was also Amy W., Jen from Mrs. Incredible! I was SO excited to meet her! (www.homeschoolblogger.com/MrsIncredible) And then there were the awesome bloggers who are part of The Old Schoolhouse Crew: Regenia Speirndle (www.homeschoolreview4you.blogspot.com and www.homeschoolblogger.com/supermomof5kids), Christy Lucas (www.mercyeverymorning.blogspot.com), Heidi Pair (www.chatterandclatter.blogspot.com), Penny Ray (www.notnewtoautism.blogspot.com) and Angela Richter (www.homeschoolblogger.com/byourlove1). What a GREAT group of ladies! Please forgive me if I have missed you! It was no less of a thrill to have met you, but I just turned 50 you know, and I can only stuff so much info into my head before SOMETHING has to fall out! If you didn't make the Midwest Homeschool Convention this year, you need to try to go next year. There were people there from 22 states! I've never been to a homeschool convention w/that kind of saturation before. Brennan Dean, you should be thrilled with what you have done! Blessings from Ohio, Kim Wolf<>< |
Here's another TOS alum and one of the funniest people of the weekend..."Jay From Cleveland" and his lovely wife, Deb!! (
We were too busy to get into trouble...so...we'll just have get together AGAIN! By the way, that's Jenna, Coie, Jen and me.Comments
