I’m going. Are y’all?

For many of y’all, the school year is wrapping up and your mind begins to fill with thoughts of staying in your jammies IN BED for a little longer than the usual bright-and-early.  Or maybe you school year-round like I do and hunker down with the books when the sun’s heat is most intense.

Either way, now is the time to spare a few minutes to think ahead to next year!

No really, I’m not kidding. What if I told you that YOU CAN STILL STAY IN YOUR JAMMIES? And even have chocolate for breakfast. At 11:00am. And not have to leave the comfort of your house– or even your bed if you are a lucky-ducky laptop owner?

I am super excited to announce that registration is now open for the 2010 Heart of the Matter Online Homeschooling Conference!

This year, the Conference will be August 9-13th.

Some people have said some very nice things about our past conferences, but this year’s conference will be even better!  We have switched to a new conference software and now you will even be able to see some of the speakers and hostesses via webcam.  Don’t worry, they won’t be able to see you– so your mismatched jammies, bedhead, and chocolate for breakfast secrets will remain safely guarded!

Trust me, you’ll WANT to hear what these great speakers and authors have to say!

• Susan Wise Bauer, author of Story of the World and The Well Trained Mind
• Sally Clarkson, author of Educating the WholeHearted Child and The Mission of Motherhood
• Jeannie Fulbright, author of Apologia’s elementary science curriculum
