This March I am really excited to be speaking at a homeschooling convention called Teach Them Diligently. This convention will be held in the Spartanburg Expo Center in Spartanburg, SC from March 15th-17th.
I do believe it will be one of the best homeschool conventions in the nation. There will be a large vendor hall to shop, great speakers, informative workshops, and programs for children and teens.
The list of speakers is also amazing! We will see some pretty big names for speakers, including Dr. Voddie Baucham, Ken Ham, Doug Phillips.
Right now, there is a coupon code for registration – get $5 off when you enter the code SAVERS. The cost will depend on all the activities you choose to sign up for, but it seems well worth the money!
I know the last thing you are probably thinking about right now is swimming, but it’s a great time of year to get ready for summer at a big discount. Land’s End has great overstock clearance deals on tons of items including girls swim separates today. The swimwear starts at $2 and goes up to $7.99.
Ironically, you can use the promo code BLIZZARD with the pin 1038 to get FREE shipping, no minimum. There are tons of other deals in the overstock category too, even school uniforms! Sizes and styles are limited so go ahead and order if you see something you like.
My only fear is that my daughter will repeat “go beach” over and over if she sees a bathing suit come in the mail….
