I went to a HOMESCHOOL CONVENTION!

[@LoveThemWell]

Hooray!! I'm going to my first convention this weekend! This was fun to see:) Thank you!

[@faithhomeschool2789]

Thank you for taking us along. How exciting!

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

So glad you enjoyed it! 😁

[@amandapatterson9182]

Look at that exhibit hall!! So envious! Ours was cancelled again this year and the one in OH is after we already start the new school year. Hopefully next year!! We love the Gaylord in Nashville!!

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

Yes! It was so cool! I heard the one in Ohio was happening in August....too late for us to.

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

I'm so glad you did a video on this because I've been so curious about these conventions!! I so want to go next year!! Um and yes the CFA mac is totally worth it!!! Mmm!!

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Yes...I could really go for another side of that Mac and cheese! Lol 😂

[@melissakirby3901]

Opryland Hotel and Convention center is amazing and beautiful inside. My husband proposed in the botanical gardens. I'm hoping to go to convention next year.

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

Awww that’s so romantic! What a beautiful place!

[@valleyhavenfamilyschool8951]

I was there! I just found this video and it brought back the good feelings!

I soooooo wanted to be there this year!!!!! It looks like such a nice venue!! And I love homeschool conventions!

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

[@knowledgecrate9404]

Hi Toni! Thank you for sharing this, we are headed to the convention this year as a vendor and was trying to get a feel of what to expect and you gave a great insight! Jolene

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

That’s awesome! I’m so glad this helped! ❤️

[@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife]

I can’t wait to see what you got.

[@katiewarszawski2350]

I keep forgetting that you are in Ohio! I’m just north of columbus and this is our first year of homeschooling! Totally jealous you went to a homeschool convention! Thanks for taking us along!

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Hope you get to go to a convention one day too!

[@robinhill8787]

Thinking on this year. My first time home schooling.

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

So glad this helped!

[@amytoren3357]

I stayed at a hotel/convention center like that once in Florida. There were like 6 restaurants inside! It was gorgeous too!!

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

That’s so cool! Definitely makes the experience even more memorable! ❤️

[@christinasheaff6097]

Dayton, Ohio girl here! Just stumbled on your channel. Jealous you got to go to Nashville. If I had known that the Cincinnati GHC was going to be moved to August earlier, I would have made arrangements to go to Nashville.

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

Ugh , yes August would be pretty late for a convention! Hopefully you get to go to one soon! It was really great!

[@TheAbsoluteMom]

We have stayed at multiple Gaylords and they are awesome! So worth it! Also I haven't been to a homeschool convention but you make me want to!

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

Awww so glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you get to go one day!

[@reasonsforroots6958]

I was in the "Inside a Charlotte Mason Homeschool" session! I loved hearing from Soya Shaffer. :)

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

Ahh! No way! That was a good one! I’ve never seen her in person before 😁

[@goingtheextramile0]

Looks so fun! I’m looking to try to go to our in California

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

I hope you get to go! Conventions are so fun! ❤️

[@TheHomeschoolSweetSpot]

Wow. Can only dream of having something like that here.

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

It was pretty amazing!

[@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife]

I hope to go to this one next year.

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

Fun!

[@TheOwsNestHomeschool]

I want to attend one, one day lol... so tha sk for giving me a peek at what one is like.

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

I hope you get to! So glad you enjoyed it 😁

[@MW11-3]

I would have loved to go to this! Nashville is one of my favorite cities but it’s 9 hrs from home so too far unfortunately!!

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

It was a long drive for a convention, but definitely worth it this time!

[@HerDailyJourney]

I would love to go to one of these conventions.

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

You really should! I love them!

[@Lana-uy6po]

How much do you typically spend at these events ? For the books not anything extra like food or hotel stay

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

For me….I don’t buy all of my curriculum here, so my husband usually gives me a hundred dollars…maybe 200 cash to spend on books or curriculum or whatever I want to buy there and I stick with that. But it definitely depends on the year and what is offered at the convention. I may spend a lot one year and very little The next.

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

Yes!

[@nestledvalleyfarmhouse6207]

So jealous! We are still not having conventions over here :-) this is my first year homeschooling. Would you be up for a collab?

[@ourthriftyhomeschool]

That’s awesome! Hope this year is a blessing for you! Feel free to message me on Instagram and we can chat 😁
