Homeschooling and the Holidays

Do you homeschool?  If so, great! Let these amazing speakers inspire you throughout the holidays.  If not, PLEASE do not let the ‘title’ stop you. These speakers are to inspire and encourage everyone to get through the holidays stress free and to enjoy the true meaning of the season.  Listen to the speakers share ways to reduce stress, gift giving tips and ideas, ways to spend time with family and friends, and more.

 Making the Holidays Meaningful

When the fall leaves begin to shed I feel the fresh wind also takes “my peace that surpasses all understanding…” We’ve settled into our school, our studies are underway, we are cooking… making progress and then it happens, the holidays! And just when we were really doing well! What do you do? Chuck all the books and bake cookies and make crafts? Study all the harder to cram in the last little bit before Thanksgiving rolls around, or a little bit of both? What STRESS!! Join our wonderful expo panel and listen to moms who have survived the holidays with flying colors and share their scheduling, baking, praising and joyful tips and techniques with you! STRESS BUSTERS! The homeschooling lifestyle blends in perfectly with the holidays and we continue on without missing a beat! What fun your children will have celebrating the different seasons of the year as they continue to learn.

5 Exciting Thanksgiving Secrets

Lorrie Flem

EternalEncouragement.com

As Christians who are also Americans, when we celebrate Thanksgiving each year, we try to conjure up the same gratefulness to God that the Pilgrims and many other founding fathers felt. Because of them we have a traditional Thanksgiving holiday and the concepts of self-government, a “hard-work” ethic, self-reliant communities, and devout religious faith. But, are we really celebrating the way our forefathers did? Download Handouts for Subscribers Only Audio Sample  Coming Soon!
