This weekend I am at the Titus 2:1 Conference – a Christian Homeschooling Blogging Conference<\/a>\u2026 yes, there really is a conference for everything.\u00a0 I found it last year during a Google Search, and rushed to call my husband to find out if it was cool if I went on such short notice.\u00a0 His reply was, \u201cI guess that would be for you to decide.\u201d It was local, and when I tweeted that I really wanted to go, the conference founder tweeted back that she hoped I could make it.\u00a0 I decided, and I went.<\/strong><\/p>\n Obviously, since I am here again, it was really great.<\/strong> I always feel bad when someone asks me a homeschooling question, and I have no clue what the answer is.\u00a0 I do it \u2013 but there\u2019s no way to know everything about every curriculum, support group, video series, or resource.\u00a0 I do what I do in the few hours that I have, every day is not the same, and I don\u2019t always do it at home.<\/p>\n At 2:1, this year and last year, there are so many fantastic bloggers that you can learn from. <\/strong> I am adding blogs you can follow, resources that you can use, and more – all here in a list – so that if I can’t answer a question that you have, you now have access to the people that I have access to. \u00a0You can ask them questions on Twitter, join their conversations on Facebook, and check out the resources on their blogs.\u00a0 Many of them have communities dedicated to homeschooling, so that you can connect.<\/p>\n Follow the #2to1conf hashtag on Twitter to follow along with the conference at home. \u00a0Keep checking this post for new links to new bloggers I meet, speakers that share their wisdom with us, and resources I find out about this weekend.\u00a0These are bloggers that I actually met or heard speak at the conference. \u00a0I am adding this straight from the cards that I received from people I met, chatted with, ate breakfast, lunch, or dinner with…. if you are a homeschooling blogger, you should consider this conference. \u00a0The 2:1 Conference is in Chicago next year, May 2-4.<\/span><\/p>\n Bloggers: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Colleen Kessler<\/strong> – Raising Lifelong Learners<\/p>\n On Twitter<\/a> |\u00a0 On Pinterest<\/a> | \u00a0@ColleenKessler On Instagram\u00a0 |\u00a0 on Facebook<\/a> | \u00a0Website: www.Colleen-Kessler.com<\/a><\/p>\n Melissa Crabtree<\/strong> – The Busy Mom<\/p>\n On Twitter<\/a> |\u00a0 on Facebook<\/a> | \u00a0Website: www.TheBusyMom.com<\/a><\/p>\n Alyce Bass<\/strong> – Pots on the Stove<\/p>\n On Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n Jamie Worley<\/strong> – See Jamie Blog<\/p>\n On Twitter<\/a> |\u00a0 on Facebook<\/a> | \u00a0Website: www.SeeJamieBlog.com<\/a><\/p>\n Shannon Cimato<\/strong> – Pickles and Buddy<\/p>\n On Twitter<\/a> |\u00a0 On Pinterest<\/a> | \u00a0Website: www.picklesandbuddy.blogspot.com<\/a><\/p>\n Stephanie Somers<\/strong> – The Stirred Up Mama<\/p>\n On Twitter<\/a> |\u00a0 On Pinterest<\/a> | on Facebook<\/a> | \u00a0Website: www.StirredUpFamily.com<\/a><\/p>\n Meg Hykes<\/strong> – Homeschoolin’ Mama<\/p>\n On Twitter<\/a> |\u00a0 On Pinterest<\/a> | \u00a0@HomeschoolinMama On Instagram\u00a0 |\u00a0 on Facebook<\/a> | \u00a0Website: www.HomeschoolinMama.com<\/a><\/p>\n Rebecca Brandt<\/strong> – Mom’s Mustard Seeds – Planting Seeds to Move Mountains<\/p>\n On Twitter<\/a> | \u00a0Website: www.MomsMustardSeeds.com<\/a><\/p>\n Kyndra F.
