Last year there were some technical problems and I missed a good bit of the first day of that conference, then I was smacked across the head with what would be the beginning of one of the darkest times of my life. I had intentions of trying to connect with some other homeschooling moms who had similar views to ours because there aren’t any around here that share any common grounds with us.
