A homeschool conference at your house!
Does that sound like an oxymoron? I know that, if you're like me, it does. I look forward to going to our state's homeschool convention each spring, and I even post about it on my blog! But, when I heard about the conference that is being hosted by Heart of the Matter, I was intrigued - a homeschool conference right in my own home - no driving (wow~ that'll save on gas) and no getting dressed (no new outfit needed for this conference!). I'm sure you've already heard all about the conference too. But, if not, check this out:
Shhhh! Do you hear that? It is the comfort of your home calling you. PJs, coffee or tea (your flavor), and five fun filled days just for you!
In Heart of the Matter Online's quest to bring you the absolute best home school resource online, they have listened to your requests and are providing you with a fun filled online adventure! On July 30th through August 3rd, they will be hosting Heart of the Matter Online's first annual Virtual Homeschool Conference! They will be providing the attendees with freebies, encouragement, great speakers, timely topics, workshops, and - all ONLINE! Just log on and listen live during that time or log in at your convenience and download the audios. The speakers are guaranteed to inspire, educate, and entertain you! At the end you will even be able to chat with them and ask questions. Please visit theFAQ page to receive answers to all your questions, and view or download a schedule.
This conference will be less like a "seminar" and more like a bunch of close friends in a chat room. Just wait till you see what some of your favorite home school personalities have done to educate and entertain you! At the end you will join in to chat with them, ask questions, and they will answer.
To ensure your spot in the conference room, simply, visit the Heart of the Matter Online Conference site and click the "pay now" button. The price of admission will be just $29.95. The "admission" price includes a positively fabulous goodie bag. Currently, the freebie package is valued at over $80 and growing! It includes a fabulous $30 package from Currclick: curriculum in a click! Currclick (formerly HomeschoolEstore) is the largest one-stop shop for electronic lapbooks, affordable curriculum, and homeschooling resources.
I am giving YOU, my wonderful readers, the opportunity to attend this amazing event for FREE. I have 5 tickets to give away! Your ticket includes the $80 goodie bag! To enter my giveaway, all you need to do is go to the Heart of the Matter Conference site and check it out. Then, come back here and tell me what ONE THING most appeals to you about the conference (maybe it's a certain speaker you've always wanted to hear or a topic that is of interest to you).

Jul. 7, 2008 - Sounds great...
 Posted by proverbsmomof3
they have so many great speakers lined up that I would really enjoy hearing their messages, Like Amy Pak, whose products I LOVE, Jeannie Fulbright, Sheila Wray Gregoire, and so many others. I love the fact that if I'm busy on those days, I can still get the audios of the speakers and listen when I have time. I will add the link to my blog. Worth spreading the news. Sounds like it will be great.
I've posted about this on my blog.

Jul. 10, 2008 - HOTM Conference
 Posted by ccutright
I love the idea of having a homeschool conferenceat home. We can reap nearly all the benefits of going out to a conferece. The variety of speakers have really stolen my attention. I'm sue they will all be great but I am most interested in hearing Linda Hobar, Maria Miller, and Robin Sampson for I am using, have used, or plan to use their curriculum.
Thank you so much for this opportunity to win a ticket to the HOTM Conference.

I never attend homeschool conferences because they are usually too far away and I just can't afford it. So this really appeals to me, and of course any free goodies are always fun.

Jul. 11, 2008 - This is wonderful
 Posted by habermom94
I have homeschooled my boys now for 6 yrs. In this time I have had no support besides what has been given to me by my husband. My family and his family are against homeschooling. If I call my mother just to talk about my day which may have been bad, she in turns says if I would just send the boys to "real" school things would be better. I get so sick hearing that! Anyway the topics of discussion caught my eye of interest. Especially the one titled "Homeschooling with Joy"! Oh how that would be a great tool of encouragement for any homeschooler! The entire conference being online is such a great idea, I know it is for me cause I have no one to babysit for me and that makes going to things like this hard. Thanks for letting us know about this! Just wanted to let you know I added this contest on my blog
