A Picture of the New Homeschooling book: Trivium Mastery - The Intersection of Three Roads

Trivium Mastery : The Intersection of Three Roads

Trivium Mastery: The Intersection of Three Roads represents a new way of thinking about an old idea: classical Christian education. Authentic classical homeschooling is less rigid than the twelve year, public-school paradigm, and it doesn't include the three “stages” that some homeschool authors mistakenly call classical education.

Ultimate Homeschool Expo

ultimatehomeschoolexpo

Homeschool conventions are a lot of fun, but how many workshops can you realistically squeeze into the weekend? Inevitably, at least one of the speakers that I want to hear is scheduled to talk at the same time as another workshop that I want to attend. I have purchased the CDs of speakers that I missed, but my state charges $ 7 per CD (on top of the $50 convention admission fee) which can really add up if you want to order several sessions. Not only that, but if you live out of town, you have to pay for lodging, food, and childcare (or pay to put the kids into the kids’ program).

Plus by the end of the weekend, your poor feet are tired, and you are physically and mentally exhausted! Have you ever thought about how neat it would be to go to a virtual homeschool convention where you could listen to the speakers at your leisure, from your own home (in your pjs), and for less money? Well, my Alabama friend, Cindy Rushton (host of the “Mom-to-Mom “program on BlogTalkRadio), felt the same way, and that’s why for the third year in a row, she has put together a fabulous virtual homeschool convention which she calls the Ultimate Homeschool Expo.

Today is the kickoff of a great week full of LIVE broadcasts (everyday at 10am and 2pm EST ) plus if you purchase a ticket to the Expo, you have access to ALL of the workshops indefinitely so that you can listen whenever and wherever you want! Cindy is so excited that she has given me permission to share a sneak peek into her membership site. Here is a sampler of one of her free gifts to you:

“Oops! My Cup is Empty and My Coffee Pot is Broke!”
Audio Workshop with Cindy Rushton

Tired? Weary? Find yourself overwhelmed by the tremendous load of motherhood? Do you consider this one of the most demanding, yet rewarding roles you will ever fill…yet that send shivers down your spine? Join Cindy as she exhorts you in your high calling. This workshop shares Cindy’s heart as she shares about those good days and bad days…sweet memories and rather bitter moments that have made life so precious all along the way. Taking you on a journey back in Scripture to meet Hannah, Cindy will share God’s answers to her heart cry during times she has found her OWN cup empty while “everything” continued to hit all at once!! The biblical insights are sure to draw YOUR heart to your Heavenly Father AND to those you are pouring into. Join us as Cindy ministers encouragement and direction straight from the Word of God to your heart, soul, and mind!

Listen now

You see one of the neat things about the Ultimate Homeschool Expo is that everything is online indefinitely. Cindy  has built a private, exclusive membership site that includes everything from the Expo in one place–it has audios (from all of the sessions and from the bonus gifts that her speakers give to us), ebooks, complete unit study guides, articles, printable notebooking pages, cookbooks, on and on.  I can’t believe all of the things that we receive for only $39.95.  “Ultimate” is a perfect adjective to describe all of the goodies that are included with your ticket to the Ultimate Homeschool Expo. There are hundreds more! Take my word for it, you will want to purchase your ticket and access all of the wonderful resources. Grab your “seat” and start listening to the workshops today!
