Last year was my first year to attend an Immaculate Heart of Mary Homeschool and Parent Conference, it was AWESOME! Lovely folks hosting, fantastic speakers and some great vendors made for really nice experience for this first time homeschool conference attendee.

I just received an email that they will host another New England conference this year. Did I mention the conferences are free?! Yup, free!

So here are the details from their website:

UMass Lowell Inn and Conference Center

50 Warren St.
Lowell, MA 01852

FREE ADMISSION!

Friday August 8th, 2014 @ 2:00pm to 8:00pm
Saturday August 9th, 2014 @ 9:30am to 3:30pm

SAVE THE DATES!

This conference is for everyone, not just homeschooling families. All religious are especially welcome.

This will be IHM’s second year in New England! Our first year was such a success that we decided this conference deserved to be a 2-day event, so we are adding a Saturday to the conference and bringing in an extra speaker or two.

There is free parking provided you follow these instructions (otherwise you may be charged): There is a parking garage next the the UMass Lowell Inn and CC, but you have to enter this garage through the UMass Lowell Inn driveway and park on the 1st or 2nd levels (if you enter from the main street, there will be a charge even though it is the same garage).

Happy 2014!

Yesterday we had all sorts of great plans. We got up early so I could make breakfast and then we could attend Mass. About 3 minutes after we awoke, Monkey got sick and changed our plans for the day. Instead, we spent almost the entire day hanging out in the living room tending a sick little boy.

Monkey has gotten 4 of these nasty stomach bugs in his four years and each one he’s managed to beat in about 12 hours. He’s sick as anything for most of the day, then he falls asleep late in the evening for about two hours and awakens chipper and ready to go. He did the same thing yesterday. And today he’s eating normally.

God Bless!
