Are you a homeschool blogger in the Dallas/Fort Worth or Houston areas? Texas Home School Coalition invites you to join their blogging team! How neat is that?!!
The THSC Family Convention is my absolute favorite homeschool conference. We attended for the first time back in 2011 in The Woodlands. The conference came at the conclusion of our very first family vacation. We made such great memories and try to make it back each year.

For us it’s like a long weekend of homeschool family camp. We always enroll all the children in the activities. Our kids absolutely love the children’s programs and look forward to them each year. One of my favorite things is that THSC staff always happy to keep my children together. In fact, that is what they prefer to do. The kids feel happy and safe together, and it’s so much easier for me to pick them up when they are together too. I love how much they learn, and all the fun they have!

Last year Faith had a blast in the Teen Helper program. Faith is quiet and reserved around people she doesn’t know so I wondered how she would do. She absolutely loved it, and is excited to participate again this year.

THSC always has great Christian family entertainment as a part of the convention. One year we even saw Tim Hawkins! Every year since we have been going, we look forward to hearing John Erickson, author of the Hank the Cow Dog books, read parts of his books and sing some Hank songs! We love the books and Faith even learned to read with them! This year we are so excited to also see The Amazing Chemistry Show and Family Experience!!

Jason and I really look forward to learning together from the speakers! Each year we go home encouraged, refreshed, and challenged not only in our homeschooling, but in our marriage and parenting as well. THSC is truly something we look forward to every year!
