Wow- can't believe she's this close!

Someone I greatly admire in the "motherhood ministry" who speaks and writes to encourage women, mothers, homeschoolers, etc... lives just down the way from us here in CO!

I attended a conference of hers in Austin over 2 years ago? and bought some books that have shaped my thinking on parenting and homeschooling tremendously.

I also found out she is having a conference at a local church next weekend and I am really looking forward to hearing her speak again! I know it will be very inspiring and refreshing, and also give me a much-needed boost of encouragement in my vision for our home and family.

Her website is here. Her blogs are here and here.
