Inland Northwest Homeschool Conference

Last week I attended the Inland Northwest Homeschool Conference, March 26-27 in Spokane WA.
It was very encouraging. The main speakers were Mrs. Lorrie Flem, mother of 8, and publisher of TEACH magazine and Mr. Todd Wilson of Family Man ministries.
I bought some of each of their books/materials.
This week I have read:

How to be a great wife, even though you homeschool by Todd Wilson

The Official book of Homeschool Cartoons, vol 1,2,3,4 by Todd Wilson

Taming the Techno Beast by Todd Wilson

Lies Homeschooling Moms believe by Todd Wilson

Mom , what's for Dinner? by Lorrie Flem
