Homeschool Conferences Planner and Workbook -

I’m so excited about this book! I completely redesigned it and updated it and I think it’s gorgeous! If you attend or are thinking about attending a homeschool conference, convention, workshop this book is for you! It will keep you so organized and it’s perfect whether you are attending online or in-person. Bonus! It’s also great for keeping up with what curriculum you’re buying, already purchased and comparing prices. Plus, since it’s a digital download, you can print out as many pages as you need for as many conferences as you attend!

I started designing this book years ago for myself. when I started going to NC’s homeschool conference. I realized I needed a way to keep up with all my notes and compare prices at the bookfair. So I designed a page for notes and one for comparing prices at the different vendors. It was great! Each year, I designed more pages to add to it.

My husband would even take my printouts and compare prices at the bookfair while I was attending workshops. He made sure I always brought it. Friends starting asking what we were using and wanted their own copies. They loved it too! It was great! They suggested that I put it all together in a book and that’s what I did.

Over the years, I’ve added all kinds of pages and tips. But it was time for a makeover and now this has grown from two printable pages to 40 pages. I decided to split the book into two parts, which I think makes it even better. Instead of tips sprinkled here and there, I’ve been able to expand on them, giving you so much more information. So part one is full of my tips from years of experience attending homeschool conferences and part two are the pages to keep you organized.
