Memory, Terry Small, Stephen Wiltshire, and Your Brain

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

A year ago this month was the first time we heard speaker Terry Small at a local homeschool conference. We were immediately enthralled with what he had to say and deeply amused with his style of delivery. Acutely engaging, Terry will not easily let you be an inactive spectator in his sessions but soon has you along with everyone else, laughing, encouraging, joking, antsy with anticipation, fluctuating from relaxed to on edge, perpetually interesting he keeps you engaged and learning. His topic: Your Brain.

We came home from that homeschool conference (WATCH) brimming with new information about our brains, many interesting facts and entertaining stories which Terry imparted to us during those 3 days.

Of course we could not help but want more information and were delighted to find that Terry regularly sends out a newsletter with more facts and information on the brain.

The latest Brain Bulletin we received from Terry Small (#54) included 6 unique facts about the brain and then this fascinating video clip about a man with a phenomenal memory. Incredible!!

If you like us are always interested in more information about our brains, how they function, how to improve your memory, and more, you may wish to also sign up for his informative Brain Bulletins. Enjoy!

Loading The Timberdoodle Trailer For The WATCH Conference

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

We started early at 5:30 this morning, so as to get a head start before the heat of the day.

First steps include unloading all the empty shelves and then beginning the process of design.

With new products added to our selection regularly we are always left with the decision of what to bring to the next conference. We wished we could bring it all and inevitably we will arrive at the conference only to find we left behind the one thing that everyone wishes we had brought…. Let us know if you have something you would like us to bring!

Three days until the WATCH Conference!!!

Will We See You This Weekend?

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

The WATCH Conference is this weekend and we have 3 booths there, have you signed up yet?

Last year was our first year to vend at the WATCH Conference and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We were privileged to be able to attend many of the general sessions and found the main speaker last year,Terry Small, so engaging that we have talked about him all year long.

We experienced a conference God centered and God saturated, with real people seeking to encourage real homeschool families in their walk with God and in their labors to teach their homeschooled children.

We are delighted to be able to attend again this year and look forward to seeing some of you there.

If there is a particular product you would like us to bring please just leave us a note below and we will do all we can to fit it into our trailer.

Trailer packing is scheduled for today and tomorrow so get us your requests soon!!
