VENDOR Workshops
Vendor workshops are a hidden gem of the homeschool conference—don’t miss them! These sessions are led by experienced curriculum creators, resource developers, and service providers who understand the real-life needs of homeschooling families. You’ll gain practical tips, creative ideas, and hands-on solutions you can use immediately in your home and classroom. Vendor workshops often dive deeper into specific subjects, tools, and teaching methods, giving you the chance to ask questions, see demonstrations, and discover resources perfectly suited to your family’s goals. Best of all, these workshops offer personal connection—real conversations with people passionate about supporting your homeschool journey. Come curious, leave equipped, and make the most of every opportunity to learn, grow, and be encouraged along the way.

Patterns of Hope
We are dedicated to easing educational struggles through a developmental approach that strengthens the body systems and reflexes that are foundational to learning. By addressing these critical areas, we see meaningful improvements in learning, balance, coordination, behavior, and cognitive skills – offering the HOPE many families are seeking. During your child’s mini-assessment, we evaluate coordination and balance through activities such as standing still, balance beam walking, hopping, crawling, and skipping. We also assess primitive and postural reflexes, as well as ocular-motor skills like eye tracking and hand-eye coordination. We look forward to meeting you and your child, and showing you that learning doesn’t have to be so hard.

Beautiful Children’s Books to Feed Young Tummies and Minds
If you and your family are constantly on the lookout for wholesome, faith-based, extracurricular reading, I would love to introduce myself and my works. Suddenly inspired to write a children’s book in 2019, the passion to write children’s fiction has grown to include nine published books to date. I have authored four children’s picture books in The Little Library Treasures Series, and a five-book Christian fantasy adventure series called The Pearls of Wisdom Series: Stories Inspired by a Biblical Proverb. But what is really inspiring is the mission that drives these creative, quality books. Please join my workshop to find out more. I hope to see you there!

Instilling a Missions Mindset in Your Homeschool with Classic Christian Books
We will present The Scripture Testimony Collection as a set of classic Christian titles for inspiring the homeschooler toward the growth of the Kingdom of God. Many of these titles inspired our own family to pursue full-time missions (with our six children) on the Mexican border. Our presentation will incorporate gloriously inspiring stories of faith and the reality of God, drawn from these titles and our own missionary experiences. The story of Walking Together Press is also a missionary story, born through wonderfully unlikely divine appointments, and now devoted to supplying free books to African libraries and communities.
