My friend, Cindy Rushton is at it again! I am so excited!

I have been attending her Ultimate Homeschool Expo Preview Chats.
Talk about great! They are just A-m-A-z-I-n-G…or shall I say
ULTIMATE?

There is truly “no stone unturned” with this convention. Every
topic you could fathom is being addresssed.
 
Wonder what  it is all about? Oh! Let me share what Cindy is doing…
 
For a long time, Cindy has had a vision of setting up a homeschool
convention online. When she began teaching her Talk-a-Latte Online
Seminars, she knew that she had everything in place to go for the
dream. So, last year she gave it a try to host the very first
Ultimate Homeschool Expo. It was so fantastic. But, even that event
pails in comparison to this year’s  event. It is truly the ULTIMATE
event. Now, we are counting down weeks until the big event!
 
Well, we say till the big event, but Cindy is actually offering
Preview Chats featuring her 2008 speakers. Those are free each
week.  If you have never joined an online class, don’t toss this
offer! Join us–I will be there! You will love it!
 
Each session features a free seminar by one of the speakers. You
can listen to the speaker on your computer or you can also “text
