What a teaser, huh? Shortly after my Bloggy birthday post, our DSL went completely out. While things were being worked on and many attempts to fix it, I was completely cut off from the world. Maybe you have to be a rural-living, non-TV watching homeschooling mama of many young ones to fully appreciate the trauma. 🙂 Just as everything seemed to be consistently, fully functioning with our DSL, HSB underwent a marvelous upgrade. I know things are quite different. There are new ways of doing things to learn and many exciting, fun features to play with. I am trying to catch up with my necessary posts, etc. before prettying up the place.
While you are waiting on the new and improved Homeschool Studio, enter my first giveaway. I love on-line homeschool conferences! Did you attend the TOS Schoolhouse Expo? I was able to listen in to part of one session on the last day. I am really looking forward to mp3 downloads. What? You didn’t get a ticket? Well, it’s not too late! You can still order the mp3 downloads–EXPO To Go for only $19.99. Check out the Vendor Hall for lots of Freebies and special discounts. This is an option for everyone–whether or not you have a ticket.
I am working hard to get the last of my reviews posted as a member of the TOS Homeschool Crew. It has been a wonderful, busy and blessed year. It has gone by incredibly fast! Congratulations to all of the new members preparing to board. Be prepared to be blessed! Bon Voyage! To all of my friends returning for a second (or third) voyage, I will miss the interaction from our forum, but will enjoy the time available for actually reading y’all’s blogs 🙂
