Why you should attend an online expo (& a GIVEAWAY!!!) ~ Ended~

I posted last week about The Old Schoolhouse Expo Special Event occurring next week... This Special Event is online which, as I was sitting here full of caffeine, slightly lacking in the area of sleep & on a chocolate high (because my friends gave me two whole blocks to celebrate our inspection approval ~ they know me well) I decided has got some very positive points to it indeed.   It means that.... 1. You don't have to get up at a certain time, brave traffic, distance & lug your tribe of kiddos with you to arrive precisely on time to a specific building set apart for the occasion ... instead you can sleep in, run late & not miss the first 3/4 of a talk because your daughter can't wait to use the bathroom until afterwards & then decides this is a 'long session'...

2. You don't have to google for some last minute accommodation, tentatively enter your credit card details to a business you know little about,  spend the whole trip hoping you haven't made some enormous booking error & booked your  family into a wild hippie haven for the entire week, where your neighbours will be smoking 'happy grass' & singing half the night  & your husband will again look at you with 'that look' & wonder at your sanity of leaving everything until the last minute....such as booking accommodation ( but never mind if you do because your children will inevitably get them up early with their noisy morning shenanigans  & either get you thrown out or make your 'happy' neighbours leave themselves ~ which is even better because then you get the place to yourself ...once the smoke lifts).....instead you can stay at home, sleep in clean sheets (possibly) & use a bathroom that you know has been fully cleaned within the last week ( again uh possibly)... 3. You don't have to pull out your favourite 'homeschooling Mummy' uniform, spend hours styling your hair & ever so carefully painting your face to get the right balance of 'made up, but natural' look & making sure you portray the perfect, sweet image.....instead you can wear your pyjamas,  farm clothes or even attend in the raw (if the children aren't around), allow your seven year old to style your hair to mimic that of the clowns he saw in his current read aloud book & let the said child extend his skills in the area of face painting ~ allowing your own face to be his canvas...

4. You don't have to use that soft, sweet, heavenly voice you've cultivated for such occasions  that we all know you always talk with at all times (uh huh)....instead you can scream like a banshee at your children right in the middle of the sessions, you can even scream at the speakers if you like ( go on, tell them exactly what you think)  & no one (well except your neighbours) are going to question your sanity... 5. There's always one in every church.  Haven't we all sat there & watched them ...   no matter how interested they are in the sermon content, they will inevitably end up nodding off  and as their head  nods earthward, their wife indelicately digs her pointed elbow deep into their ribs giving them a sudden, sharp awakening, but it only takes a matter of minutes before the cycle repeats itself (if said wife is not present a misplaced snore generally  does this job).   Now of course you would NEVER do that, but haven't you just for one second wanted to see what it's like to sit in quiet rebellion & nod off to sleep instead of attentively listening....Now is your chance!  You can finally take on this persona and sleep through all the sessions... without being woken up (well, unless you have children ...who always seem to sense the second Mum gets comfortable because it's as if Mum has opened a chocolate wrapper with their name on it....)  All sessions are recorded so you can watch them later!!!  
So to clarify you can run late, wear nothing, look like a clown, scream at your children, sleep through all the sessions & not book questionable accommodation all whilst attending....

Some speakers you won't want to scream at: I love to write, words are my friend, paper is my companion, but I wouldn't want to write for the magazine... ....I don't think....   This talk sounds very interesting... **** Because I really want to know more about their products before I make a possible switch... **** Because this area constantly needs working on & since I'm at home I'll be able to listen whilst working which will make me feel like a Homemaker Extraordinaire (clown hair or not) .. Would you like a ticket??? 
They are available HERE for $24, but I just happen to have a spare one I'm just itching to give to one of you...

I could ask you to Like Sunnyside Farm on Facebook... I could as you to Follow me on twitter... I could ask you to Follow me on Pinterest... But I'm sure that if you want to do these, you already are.... So instead to enter this GIVEAWAY just leave a comment telling me either: a. which speaker you would scream at (& why) b. which speaker you would like to listen to c.  how much you love me  (Extra points for this if you are my husband or mother...wait neither of you are eligible to enter (my giveaway, my rules))... If you are having trouble with my comment system ( because I've been told recently it's been acting up &I intend to change it when I get a second which probably won't be until next year sometime...) please send me an EMAIL or leave a comment on the Sunnyside Farm Fun facebook page saying you'd like to be entered...  You have to be quick though ~ this one is closing quickly... MIDNIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT (err...Friday morning...whatever....) AEST  Please enter! ~ Giveaway Ended~ (NOTE: (Just in case you are worried)  I am always fully clothed even when the children aren't around , always booked reputable accommodation (so far) and am usually on time for things. Occasionally I may have yelled at my children (to my shame), but never have I yelled at a conference speaker.  I've never had my face painted like a clown, but have had my hair in crazy child-styled hair styles & definitely have had to wait outside public toilets while my children take a long time... but how boring it would be if everyone were like me :)
