Ultimate Homeschool Expo 2010 is here

UHSE 2010

I don’t attend many online events through the year, but there is one event I make sure to fit into my schedule each year – the Ultimate Homeschool Expo!  It is here again, and each year it gets better and better. I have listened to the audios from last year over and over for encouragement for this school year.

Cindy Rushton has a GREAT line-up of anointed speakers this year. Even if you do NOT homeschool, these sessions will bless you so much – they are women of God with a passion for Jesus. You not only get every speaker’s mp3 audio sessions, but ebooks, bonus audios, planning pages, notebook pages, unadvertised gifts from the speakers, doorprizes and so much more! 

Just yesterday I won a doorprize at Molly Everett’s session on marriage  (Counter Cultural Mom).  She and Cindy donated Molly’s “My Audio School,” which is a wealth of online homeschooling resources!  Leah and I began to dig into it today, and it is incredible.

I am giving away one free ticket to the Expo. Just leave your name and email address with a comment here at any of my blogs or on my Facebook fan page at http://www.facebook.com/#/pages/Kansas-City-MO/Beth-Jones-Christian-SpeakerWriter/187518037922?ref=mf. I will be picking a random winner by Friday, April 30, 2010.

If you want to be SURE to attend this event (and you do NOT want to miss it!), grab your ticket for the Ultimate Homeschool Expo (UHSE 2010)  here TODAY!  You will be so blessed!  Be sure to use my link to purchase your ticket. 🙂    http://tiny.cc/9zmzi

Deanna Rose Children’s Farmstead trip

Leah by dogwood tree at Deanna Rose Children’s Farmstead park

I love this time of year when the trees and flowers are in bloom, and the sun is coming out, not too hot with a cool breeze. It was just too pretty to stay inside today, so Leah and I took off on a field trip to Deanna Rose Children’s Farmstead park in Overland Park, KS. 

They have lots of farm animals, and even a few wild ones such as the buffalo, prairie dogs, the bald eagle, a falcon, and bobcats. The park’s landscape with brightly colored tulips, blooming dogwoods and other trees, and fountains is beautiful. It’s very relaxing, and it only cost Leah and me $4 for the entrance fee. You can grab some snacks there, eat before you go to save money, or pack a picnic lunch to eat there.

My favorite animals are the bobcats. They pace in the cage and I feel sorry for them, but am grateful for the opportunity to see them up close. Leah likes them, too, and the baby goats, rabbits, and horses.   Here’s a short clip of the bobcats. Enjoy!
