Just received an email from Cindy Rushton that she's hosting a seminar this weekend about organizing for your school year!  This is exceptionally timely for me, since this is my week to plan for school.  I've run a set of links here for the past several years for a several week-long back-to-school planner, but this year I feel like I can't take quite as long as usual--I really want to get my planning and organizing done all at once so we can get back to summer!    There's a taste of the weekend conference this afternoon at 2 EST which is *free*  (we love free, right?) and then you can either listen to the conference this weekend live for free, or pay for access to the conference as well as mp3 downloads of all the sessions to listen to whenever you want, in case your children are like mine and have a tendency to interrupt when you're listening to something online!  Here's the link to Cindy's site:

If you've never heard Cindy before, you're in for a treat.  She's very down to earth and funny, but everything definitely centers around the Lord and finding His plan for our kids and our homeschool life.  I think you'd really enjoy it, whether a new homeschooler or a veteran!  So if you pop in to the seminar, say hello to me!  I'm MistyK in the chatroom, which runs simultaneously to the seminar sessions and is a fun bonus!
