If you've read my blog for a while, you probably know this has been on my heart for a long time. Late last night, while chatting on Twitter, the desire to get things moving hit me full force. I tweeted about it with a few of my IRL/Blog friends and found there's actually quite a bit of interest!
So much so, that we've already received positive feedback from our first possible sponsor!
Details will be slowly coming out as they are confirmed but this is what I can tell you so far:
- This conference will be for Christian Homeschool Bloggers
- Topics will include both Homeschooling and Blogging
- This will be a rather intimate conference, not huge
- It will be in Spring 2011, probably May
- It will be in the Washington DC area (a great place to take a family field trip!)
What I need from you:
- Prayer - we need generous, Christ centered sponsors to keep costs down (which includes ticket costs)
- Comment - Let me know if you're interested, what topics you'd like to cover and who you'd like to hear speak
I would LOVE for this to be my first conference! If you do it, I'll be there. Let me know if I can help!
ReplyDeleteclapping hands - wildly excited!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteYou already know that I love this idea. I can't wait! Praying that all the pieces will come easily together. Can't wait to hear details. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome! D.C. is not too far from me!
ReplyDeletehaha! get out of town! I thought this was just pie in the sky! I'm so there!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a session/workshop for the Christian unschooler :)
ReplyDeleteOH WOW!! I would definitely be interested! I'm way far away, but if I could swing it, I would love to be there!
ReplyDeleteI feel like jumping up and down!! Sounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Wondering who I could get to sponser me to come up from Bolivia. :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful! I will definitely pray. I would love to attend too, if God works out all the details for me to come!

How exciting! Susan Wise Bauer is an *excellent* speaker and I think she lives in that general area. Of course, that's the height of homeschool convention season, so she may already be booked.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, though...excellent family field trip material.
Count me in! I would love to attend! I am in NY, so it's a no brainer!
ReplyDeleteHey, I gave a nod to your blog over at the Homeschool Blog Awards! Good luck! https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGMwQVpMblVBVlQ0d1pPWURfUERQQlE6MA
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy reading your posts. Thanks! (Feel free to vote for mine in the New blog category...just sayin'.)
I am crying all over again!! Praying for God's guidance and provision in every detail of it! I love you, girl!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback everyone, it is very much appreciated!!
ReplyDeleteCarrie-I don't know what to say, I am so honored!! That just made my day!
Sounds like great fun -- but since i live almost as far as I can get from D.C and still be on the same continent, and we are likely to be preparing to visit various orphanages throughout the world,I will have to join you via podcast or blog posts. Great idea. And if you need to change it to the west coast, let me know, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI am interested! I saw your Tweet about it the other day & wanted to run it by hubs. We were talking about taking a family trip to DC next year anyway. It would be great if we could do both. So depending on the date, hopefully we can try to come. I'll be praying. Let us know if there's anything else we can do to help.
ReplyDeleteI thought I've already posted on this two different times. LOL Apparently not!
ReplyDeleteYou know that I'm totally excited!
Hey -- how about early May if it's in May?
I LOVE the idea of this! Not sure if I could commit to come; would depend upon our wedding photography schedule. But if possible, I'd love it!
ReplyDeleteI wish it was Washington state, I'd love to attend something like this :)
ReplyDeleteI so, so, so love this idea, but I'm light years away from D.C. I will sure be praying, though, cause I would LOVE to attend. Have you heard of ProBlogger? Christian and author and blogger- as a speaker?
ReplyDeleteI love the idea!
ReplyDeleteI would love this! Will love to hear more details along the way.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really interesting. And I've NEVER been to a conference. Sounds like fun. Keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteOhh. I am totally interested!
