Homeschool moms need one another for encouragement and support, especially during the cold, wintry months when the days seem extra long and school seems extra challenging! Join us on Feb. 4 with Abbie Halberstadt, "M is for Mama" author and homeschool mom of 10.
The day starts with a light breakfast that you didn’t have to make. Enjoy refreshments, hot drinks, and chocolates throughout the day surrounded by beautiful decorations for all you special moms. This is your day, and we want you to enjoy it to the full! We will glean wisdom from God’s word through speaker sessions, music that will lift our spirits and enjoy a delicious lunch while fellowshipping with other homeschool moms. Our hope is that you leave refreshed and reinvigorated for the rest of the school year!
