This will be my 4th year to attend the Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati. Every year has been a refreshing, though sometimes convicting time for me. Every year God has designed a perfect mix of encouraging and “kick me in the seat of my pants” kinds of speakers for me.

Susan Wise Bauer
Jessie Wise
Catherine Levinson
Cathy Duffy
Andrew Pudewa
Jim Weiss
