Come with me to the HOMESCHOOL CONVENTION | 2023 GHC Homeschool Conference Vlog

[@ualreadyknow321]

We are going to Texas in July as a surprise for my daughter because she LOVE, LOVE, LOVES S.D Smith and the Green Ember. Of course, this mama is absolutely looking forward to all of the speakers and just being able to connect with other homeschool families. ❤️ This will be our first GHS convention. My 3rd convention, but the rest of the family’s second. I’m so excited!!

GHC Cincy 2023 did not disappoint. The energy was so good. I left feeling so encouraged and so much hope. Glad you had a great time.

[@tsbehan]

Oh man, I wish we had something like this in New Zealand!! You guys are so blessed to have so much support and sources of yearly help and encouragement.

[@Alecia-Brown]

Same here in Australia!!!!

We're headed out to Teach them Diligently next week for homeschool convention! I can't wait!

[@StaceyYoder]

This was so fun to watch! Wishing I could go to a homeschool convention. Thankyou

[@ctaylor7943]

I so wanted to go to this but I wasn't on my p's and q's. It's only an hr from me so maybe next year. We are planning to go to the expo in Atlanta in July though. Super excited.

[@ashleymoffat8603]

This was a super fun video!!! Seriously needed this today! It was perfect!

[@madisonhoppermomlife5444]

This was so fun to watch!! Thank you so much for sharing. I felt like we were friends going to the convention together. 😂 That would be so fun! 🥰

[@oursweetiebirdshome]

Conventions are the best! ❤

[@journalofahomeschooler]

I’ve always make plans and end up not being able to go😢. Sounds like you really enjoy the convention and definitely looks like fun. I hope I can go to one soon😊.

[@jenniferoliver164]

Going to one soon with my whole family both excited & nervous at the same time 🥰🥰

[@GinaRLacy]

11,000 people attended!! I was there on Friday for 9 hours just talking to ALL the vendors. What speakers do you recommend? I’m planning on hitting those up next year.

[@EverydayHomeschooler]

Wow!

[@EverydayHomeschooler]

I loved Sarah Mackenzie, Coleen Kessler, Andrew Pudewa, Steve Demme, SD Smith, Sonya Shafer, the list goes on and on!

[@reasonsforroots6958]

We’re attending TTD next week! Can’t wait

[@codyaustin8836]

Thank you for sharing!!!!! I live in rual-ville and don't have access to these type of events without flying or driving across country. With out farm that just hasn't been able to happen yet. I would absolutely love to see your shopping haul❤❤❤❤❤❤ Again, I'm so blessed to have you back on KZbin

[@jerilyn-ourhomeschooltable]

How fun! ❤ Our Oregon conference is tiny in comparison. But it’s still great encouragement to get excited and rejuvenated for the upcoming year. 😊 My husband wants to come this year which will be fun. A night away will be nice. 😊

[@TheLearningLadder]

Thanks for sharing! That was so fun to watch as we don't have anything like that in the UK, sadly.

[@roonie85]

Though it's not the same, there are several online homeschool conferences.

[@survivaldude29]

I am in the video at 3:18, that is my narwhal button up shirt

[@audreyvelderrain9117]

So much fun! I've never been to a convention...I'm not sure I could handle the crowds.😅

[@ShardaeRenee]

Your videos always brighten up my day! Your editing in the 1st min. had me cracking up! 😆 You're right though-we've all done the car seat shuffle. 🤪

[@EverydayHomeschooler]

Aw thanks! Gosh I was just hoping none of the neighbors were watching 😫

[@kristinsmith4827]

I knew I saw you there! Haha

[@sarahbennett7235]

I would love to attend a convention! I am in New England and haven't found any in my area. I am in my 3rd year homeschooling a current 3rd, 5t, 9th grader so I am not familiar with this convention. Are there many secular booths and workshops that don't focus on Christianity?

[@EverydayHomeschooler]

There is definitely a mix of secular and non-secular booths. But many of the speakers present from a biblical worldview in the sessions.

[@ShawnaNash]

We actually have a GHC convention coming up in my area in July (Round Rock, TX). I've been considering going. Question - Obviously, you can't attend every session. Are the sessions recorded and available post conference for the sessions that you really wanted to attend, but couldn't?

[@ShawnaNash]

Found the answer to my question! lol - As long as you buy a ticket to all 3 days, then you can PAY to purchase MP3 audio recordings.

[@EverydayHomeschooler]

Yes - you can purchase recordings of individual or all of the sessions (at least at the Midwest convention this is true!)

[@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife]

I would love to meet Andrew Pudewa.

[@lifebeyondthesalary2458]

Girl I hear ya!!! Sometimes those crazy mornings/days are the perfect reason for a sweet little pick me up!!!

[@almablinn9755]

This has been my first year homeschooling and I really wanted to go to the Ohio convention, but couldn’t afford it. Hopefully I’ll try to make it next year. I’m wondering if you see more people because more people like myself have chosen to homeschool after pulling our children from public schools?

[@EverydayHomeschooler]

YES! I was in many sessions where the speaker asked new homeschoolers to raise their hands - Easily half the room was in their first year!

[@homeschoolteenswithjenny]

I can only do three sessions a day max at convention or my brain is FRIED! Just that many make me so tired. It's always good stuff, but man! It wears me out! And I get mega sensory overload in the exhibit hall - LOL! I have to make a written list, or my brain is mush.

[@EverydayHomeschooler]

YES! I walk in the exhibit hall with a spreadsheet (and coffee)!

[@melissamoore280]

Ohio homeschool question: If the school district near us has open enrollment, can I send the notification there? Second year of homeschooling but my daughter turned 6 after the first day of school. This fall will be the first time I’ve had to notify.

[@EverydayHomeschooler]

I would always point you to HSLDA for legal questions, but you should send your notification to your districts’s superintendent’s office

[@boogsassy1]

I have a home in Illinois, currently in Germany for military orders, I seen where there was a convention in Missouri, basically right down the road from us. My plan is to go next year, can you bring older kids? It looks great btw❤🎉🎉

[@EverydayHomeschooler]

Yes you can bring the whole family

[@lifebeyondthesalary2458]

I have noticed the uptick in homeschooling. We started homeschooling (started with epic for the 2020-2021 school year & then said, yeah no, we’ll do it on our own)& have been doing it “on our own” (is there really such a thing? We have such a huge community of resources, friends, helpers, etc) ever since. Even now, I’ve had SEVERAL people contact me to help them with information/getting started to start homeschooling their kiddos. We started after the pandemic started. I wanted to do it before my youngest started official school, but unfortunately my mental health just wasn’t where it needed to be for me to do so. Oldest (now 26) went through public school,let’s just say I wasn’t impressed. I taught him so much that the schools didn’t teach (& apparently his friends’ parents didn’t teach them either, as he ended up having to teach his friends things like writing a check,balancing a check book/bank account, etc). I’m excited to see how many people are figuring out ways to teach their children themselves “from home” (funny, because we are rarely home, it seems lol 😂 )!
