Teach Them Diligently celebrates the focus of Christian families – that is, the discipleship of children to glorify God. More than simply a convention about home education, they purposefully develop the themes of missions, discipleship, and Christian parenting in addition to the traditional academic “how-to’s”. In addition to amazing speakers, you will also find a large exhibit hall with some of the best prices available on the resources you need. Check out the event closest to you to find out all that you can expect to experience at Teach Them Diligently!  
Guest post from Brigette Shevy These are *the* brownies Crystal and I grew up on. Our family first discovered this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine, and it instantly became a favorite. I can't tell you how many times we've made these addictive, chocolately gems over the years – definitely more than I can count! My mom often served them with ice cream when we had company over, and they were always a hit with adults and children alike (because who doesn't like homemade brownies?!). 
They magically bake up with a crinkly chewy crust, and rich fudgy insides, which is exactly the way I like my brownies. And in all the times I've made them, I can't remember them ever not turning out. These are a must for every serious chocolate lover! 
Ultimate Double Chocolate Brownies - ¾ cup cocoa
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2/3 cup melted butter, divided
- ½ cup boiling water
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chopped pecans, optional
- 12 oz. package chocolate chips*
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine cocoa and baking soda. Blend in 1/3 cup melted butter. Add boiling water and stir until well blended. Stir in sugar, eggs and remaining butter. Add flour, vanilla, and salt. Stir in nuts (if using) and chocolate chips. Pour into a greased 9×13 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Makes a 9X13 pan *(Note: If you prefer your brownies not quite as sweet, you can always scale back on the amount of chocolate chips.)

I was sitting at Kaitlynn's gymnastics lesson earlier this week listening to her instructor challenge her over and over again to push herself beyond what she felt she was capable of. He was making her do the same exercise repeatedly, encouraging her to keep at it until she got it right. "Keep doing it. You can do it. Try again. Almost, but I know you can do better." And on and on it went. Truthfully, as her mom, there was a part of me that wanted to come in and rescue her. Her coach is patient and encouraging but he won't settle for anything less Kaitlynn's best. Even though I sometimes get a little impatient when he pushes her so hard, I know it's for her own good. In fact, she's excelling and maturing in amazing ways in many areas in her life thanks to the persistence she's learning in gymnastics. As I was watching, her coach said something to Kaitlynn that I thought was incredibly profound: "You get over fear by practicing." This is true in gymnastics and all of life. Instead of saying, "I'm not good at handling money." Go practice. Instead of telling yourself, "I'll never be able to get on a budget." Go practice. Instead of believing, "I'm not smart enough to start a business." Go practice. Stop making excuses for what you don't know how to do or aren't good at and start forcing yourself to go out there and try, try again. Practice might not make perfect, but it will certainly get you farther than sitting on the sidelines ever will! photo credit Crystal is looking forward to speaking at all four Teach Them Diligently Conventions in 2014.
