Sounds like a fantastic time. Homeschooled my 4 children, last graduated in 2017. Miss those days. Best times of my life, doing my best for God and my family.
Lacey, I Homeschooled my 6 children too and always called pubic school government school! Now my children are all grown adults and one of the boys' wife is Homeschooling their children. Bless you and your family.❤
Thanks a lot guys I enjoyed it a lot just an oldie who love good stories about everything. ❤😂
Hi folks. Thanks for attending Thrive!. I'm very happy you had such a great time. I'm glad you mentioned all the topics covered especially the sessions and helps for dads. As you mentioned, homeschooling is often seen as a mom's job but it is the responsibility of both parents. Dads are particularly and specifically accountable to God for the character building and education of their children. We have been attending the NCHE Homeschool Conference (Thrive!) for about 25 years and I have always found encouragement and recharging for me as a father and husband. Thanks for posting this fantastic summary / testimonial about the conference.
I would love to hear what you picked for Salah's curriculum. We are heading to our state's conference next week and I can't wait. It's three days jam packed and I leave feeling recharged and educated.
Greetings from Wisconsin. Your homeschool conference sounds like the experience we had for many years. We went to the conference before we were ready to homeschool. We attended every year and eventually were asked to be workshop speakers. We participated in the state homeschool graduation and our son was a speaker at his graduation. An extremely valuable experience for the whole family. Our entire family has many fond memories of all those years.
For any parents out there that are interested, are wondering, have questions, whatever it might be about homeschooling, attend a conference. You won’t regret it!
Thank you Dickson family ❤️ for sharing this video.
‘Just get on 40 until you get to 77’ 😆🎉 Ahh the good old days of living 20+ years in High Point, NC 😊 and traveling to surrounding areas like Jamestown, WS, Greensboro, Durham and Raleigh ❤ Blessings from Green 🫛🌱🌿🍀 Ohio ❤🎊🎈
Lived in Greensboro, Kernersville and Asheboro
@@Lisa-wp1ff Ohhh brings back memories 🤗
I love NC.. visited Greensboro & Charlottes regularly as my relatives work there
I homeschooled my 3 kids now all adults. Homeschool conventions were so special. It’s funny my youngest son now lives in Winston Salem. Be blessed and know you are giving your kids the best opportunity by homeschooling them.
It was good to see you at the conference. I was surprised to see you walk into the registration area. Glad you had such a good time! Great seeing you again!
The NAVIGATORS are an exceptional Christian ministry for young boys! Their programs stress Godly character development.
I love you guys ,you are awesome 😊
Thank God,to God be the glory ❣️🌷🇺🇸👍
What a wonderful organization/conference! The focus in government (public) schools these days seems to be more about political activism than reading, writing and arithmetic. I am also SO grateful to hear there are better alternatives to the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
Your videos have just gotten better and better thank you
You two are the best parents! And you have the sweetest family! God bless your beautiful family ❤
What a wonderful resource for people and families
Thanks for filming and telling about this wonderful conference. There truly is something for everyone and the speakers and the vendor hall are always amazing.
Sounds like a wonderful event. Glad you could all go together.
Trail life sounds like a good group for the boys👍
Hey Mike.
Thanks for the Traillife Mention. I’m a troopmaster in Ga, and My son is about to start his 3rd year and we love our time together with the other boys and dads.
Walk worthy!
Chris

May the lord bless and protect you and your family and traveling
I'm a great grandmother an enjoyed hearing about this idea. Hope you and your family will have a great school year.
Good Evening Dickson Family!
Awesome video and awesome family God Bless you and your family Amen
I'm glad there is a place for supplies and encouragement to keep helping your children do well and become great well rounded adults with skills .
Oh what a treat to hear so many great things about AHG and trail life! I'm the Explorer level co-leader for our local AHG troop.
It's such a wonderful, faith focused, integrity building organization!
Love the aerial! Wow!
Hi Mike and Lacey, it's Candy and John in South Carolina.
Thank you so much for sharing your great experience of attending The NHCE Conference. My husband and I are grandparents that are interested in helping our grandchildren in their homeschooling journey.
Your you tube channel is a great blessing not just in homesteading but in the faith and family values you show and share. We pray for your family and homestead.
May God richly bless and keep you all. And thank you for your help in our homestead journey.
John and Candy
Thank you! We are so glad that you see our channel as a blessing,
I just love your relationship,you both compliment each so other well. ❤️🙏
It’s so great that Trail Life and AHG are getting the word out! Our family enjoys it!
All y'all are such a beautuful family. I pray y'all continue to be blessed.
Blessings, julie
Excellent video...
Thank you for sharing....
Thrive ..... with us.....
God bless your family ❤❤❤❤❤
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
All wonderful and informative
Hello from Maryland,love watching your videos. Peace and Blessings to you and your family ❤
Amanda is amazing!
I am so happy that I ran into y’all at the conference. It sure was exciting to see you.
It was great meeting you too!
Glad to see you guys...
Thanks you guys, I enjoyed your trip to the homeschool conference. I learned alot too! God Bless! 🙏❤🎉😊
Thank you so much! This was such a fun video. A few curriculums I have really enjoyed are: RightStart Math, Institute for Excellence in Writing, Winston Grammar, Center for Literary Education, Beautiful Feet Books (history and geography), Apologia Science for elementary and Real Science for Kids, All About Reading and All About Spelling. There are so many great curriculums out there that it is a bit of a shame to get stuck in a "boxed curriculum". Look at the background of the developer and see what makes them uniquely qualified to teach that particular subject. After 20+ years of homeschooling 5 kids, still have the last two in high school, I do not regret homeschooling one bit and am very thankful that I was able to find such inspiring curriculum. Have fun planning the new school year!
We just got back from our first homeschool conference- THSC in the Houston area. We are excited to check out Trail Life in our area. We went to two of their sessions. Also enjoyed the ScreenStrong presentation. We got a culinary science that looks super fun, plus a whole stack of novels and some Lamplighter CDs.
I wasn't a homeschooler but came across a couple of books I used during weekly family nights. 1) Teaching Your Children Values by Richard and Linda Eyre. 2) from the movie - The Ron Clark Story: The Essential 55.
Thanks for sharing this.❤
My Aunt’s went to Bob jones’s university for College, I went down to visit and attended graduation 🧑🎓!! It’s a great school and beautiful campus!!
Mike was on Cherry Street when y’all were talking about him being lost. Oh we have been lost done in our so many times and like you just said he found interstate sign. It’s so easy to get lost there. Don’t feel bad Mike we live close by.
😅 Winston-Salem is crazy. Just because you can see your destination doesn't mean its close. All those one way streets downtown. I think we circled our destination 4 times before we finally found the street with the entrance to the building.
you're an amazing couple! keep up the wonderful job homeschooling! bravo 👏🏆
Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing ❤🎉
our state's homeschooling fair is in July in Chattanooga, TN
Nice! Ive attended the CHEC (co) conference for 20 years. I still attend. My oldest is not homeschooling her three and i still have three to get through highschool! 😃 Always something to learn for sure!
My oldest is NOW homeschooling....grr fat fingers 😂
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 good to see you and your beautiful family out learning, exploring together. Don't know homeschool, am in Africa 🌍. Great you have such opportunities in your state and your children are disciplined enough to study at home 🏠. Babies ❤️ got exposed to the great educational opportunities too 💖 your children were joyful to be away from the Farm animals and birds for a day out. Well done ✅👍🏾 Dickson family. Am sharing your videos.
Thank you! We are so glad that you enjoy our video and share them. We really appreciate the support!
Thank you so much for all this info. We homeschooled our two younger girls. Now they are homeschooling their children. We are in Knoxville and my younger daughter hasn’t been able to find a conference to attend. She went to our conference in So Calif every year as a teen. This gave us a shot in the arm.
Teach Them Diligently has a homeschool convention in Pigeon Forge every year!
Awesome show.
Fantastic UA-cam content!!!! 😊
We're so glad you enjoyed the Thrive! conference.
My mom started using Bob Jones University with myself and my 6 siblings (2 older 4 younger) when I was starting 8th grade. I really enjoyed it! And we used it for many years after that. A very solid curriculum!
Thanks for sharing this.
American heritage girls is something I never heard of! Cool so being the beginning of Trail Life! Cool!
We like the Tuttle twins books.
We have those!
@@MikeTheFitFarmer what do you think about them?
👌as always 😁
I just watched your latest video and when it came to try to get home it brought back an old memory of mine. Fortunately you both have a lot more patience than either myself or my late husband. We were lost in a city, I was trying to read the map, my husband would not pull over like I asked him to. He kept telling out street names, I got frustrated and threw the map out the car window. We got home somehow, I really don't remember the rest. It's funny now but IT WAS NOT at the time.
Love your channel. You have a beautiful family. Thank you.
Great video. Good information.
I remember the Utah trip
Uugghhh!!!! I knew it was you!!!!! I saw you and thought, that’s Fit Farmer…. Naaaaa no way! Well.. it was. So sad I didn’t say hello!!
Love you guys and your humor!
Thank you!
Great video!
Great and informative show . Great programs for young ladies, and gentlemen :)
We were at the Thrive conference and saw you there! My kids wondered if you all were on UA-cam 😆
You should have said hello! ~ Lacie
This looks like a great conference. Glad you all were able to attend it.
I definitely need encouragement.
My favorite ninja turtle is Leo but my 4 year old daughter is obsessed with them.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Mike and lovely family. Aren’t you guys doing any gardening this spring? Do you still have goats?
I like to see more gardening and home steaming contents.
Love Ms. May’s surprise. I had so much joy watching Lacy’s excitement. That was an awesome blessings. ❤❤
so like boy scouts?? I did boy scouts with my grandsons n my brother was an eagle scout. How fun n exciting
Our family uses the Classical Conversations program. However it's not an online program.There is also Liberty online from Liberty University. I've heard that the tuiton you pay for the school years goes towards college. I'm not sure of all the details!
You all made me laugh thanks
I miss homeschooling.
Sounds like a very helpful advent. G maps is crazy still sometimes lol ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this! We are a homeschooling family as well. I really plan to come to this conference next year. I'm pretty new to this so I didn't realize the Thrive conference was even a thing. Boy, we really could have benefited from that. I am going to look it up and see if there are some resources. It's been really tuff transitioning from public to home. I know we can do it though, we've just gotta find the right method for our family. 😊🙏🏼
There are many homeschool conventions still coming over the summer. Look in your area and broader, if you are willing to travel a bit. If you are in NC there is a big convention in Richmond, VA June 6-8. That same weekend has one in Meridian, ID. Another big one in Ontario, CA and one in Denver, CO June 13-15. Round Rock, TX and Phoenix, AZ July 11-13. Atlanta, GA July 26-27. Most of these are much more than just homeschooling. There are talks and activities for all.
Michelangelo was my favorite! 😂
Party Dude!
this is awesome! go for it, you won't regret it! -Lori
UA-cam Channels Our Small Town Life and Abiding Farmhouse both use Bob Jones University curriculum.
I’ve heard amazing things about bju curriculum!
Need to include mandatory basic finance.
The monthly payment of buying a new car absorbs monthly funds from the average individual American. Monthly car payment alone would be 400-600$; plus all other monthly payments.
One trip to the hospital and the average individual would be totally screwed. That’s doesn’t include additional bills such as student loans, mortgages; retirement plans, etc. = negative balance = consistent paycheck to paycheck - forever!
We already teach about finances which is something that government school doesn't teach. They teach how to go into debt and stay there forever.
👍👊💪🤞💜🇺🇲🙏
get on 40 n you can come see me lol
true civic class has not been teach in over 55 yrs gon. put them where we are meant to be..the Constitutional Amendment 1-8 can never be changed and any amendment after them that abridges the first 8 is null void...the supreme court see's the amendment as Law and to prove the intent of Law you must use, The Federalist Papers
😂😂😂I didn't know you guys also get lost on the roads and you also use Google maps and GPS
Not the Public Schools job to develop your child's character. Teacher's have enough to deal with. Behavior problems, learning disabilities curriculum and making sure kids are ready for the next grade. Why is it teacher's have to do the job of parents. My dad was a school teacher for 35 years. He always said parents need to take some responsibility in raising their kids and stop putting everything on the teachers. I absolutely Loved Public School. Next parents will want teachers to teach their kids Sex education not a teacher 's job.
Mike it's your family...but don't leave your boys be un excorted and overseen by you! He said so strongly." FOR boys only"
Does that mean, NO FATHERS of those boys???
you wrestle not against flesh and blood....
They are always with a parent from what we have seen
I'm a bit creeped out with the trail life guy. Seemed a bit effeminate and wouldn't want any son of mine near. I hope I'm wrong.
I am 100% on board for homeschooling if the parents are capable of doing so however I think the conference is like this are great for everyone my only I don't want to say complained because it's not really a complaint but not all families that want to homeschool are religious or Christians and I feel like Christianity is being pushed on homeschool families. Now if your religious I think this is a good thing but if that's not something that you are instilling in your children I feel like it's the same kind of indoctrination that public schools do with kids against what their parents do & want. Now I'm a type of person that I just looked past that type of stuff and look what's going to be the best educational thing for the child but not everybody is like that and I think because of that it excludes a lot of kids from going to conferences like this my point is it's okay to have all that stuff but you need to have some non-religious stuff there as well to make everybody feel it's not just conservatives that want to homeschool their kids
I know there are plenty of non-religious curriculums out there. I find it interesting that you call someone teaching religious principles and values indoctrination. If you teach your child that there is no religion you are indoctrinating them with your own way of thinking. One of the big positives to homeschooling your children is to teach them to be critical thinkers so they can make their own decisions. ~Lacie
Great video!
