HEAV Convention Is THIS THURSDAY!

It's here! It's finally here. The annual HEAV Homeschool Convention is THIS Thursday, Friday and Saturday. So much to think about and so much to plan for! From past experience, I can tell you that hitting the exhibit hall can be quite overwhelming. So many booths and an overload of information.

To help ease the chaos, I like to have specific booths in mind that I plan on visiting when I first arrive and then I will go from there.

You can check online and see which exhibitors will be set up in the exhibit hall and where.

For starters, if you head over to Booth #826, Character Concepts is handing out a FREE BOOK to anyone who stops by!

Have a science kid? Your first stop should be Booth #600 where Applied Inspirations will be holding a hands on soldering workshop!

Nervous about SAT and ACT testing? Visit Booth #1228 and meet convention speaker Jean Burk who will be sharing her test taking knowledge and so much more throughout the convention! Check out her videos below.

Here's some of her Amazing Testimonials:

National Merit Scholar-College of her Choice!

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too! Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

Truck-Themed Homeschool Chore Chart

Use this truck-themed homeschool chore chart to keep your kids on track throughout the school week. With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly. At times, kids are excited for the new opportunity to help out around the house and do it with joy. Other times they stomp toward the trash can with anything but a good attitude. Help keep attitudes in check by using stickers, smiley faces, or positive verbal reinforcement as your child completes each task on the chart. For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand! (Simply right-click, save, and print)

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
