The Salt Lake TJEd Forum

This is an amazing opportunity for homeschooler and others alike to attend life-changing seminars on life, mission, education, motherhood, fatherhood, elocution...to name a few. There are always too many classes for me to choose from. Check out the weblink on this section of my blog. They will be posting the classes and registration soon!

They also have some fabulous teen classes that have covered things like finding the royalty in themselves, how to succeed, money smarts, etc. The instructors of the youth are all amazing, engaging, and dynamic. It is rewarding for the youth to not only attend the classes, but also be together with other, striving youth in this charged atmosphere.

A family ball is held that night. This is something my children look forward to all year long. A live band provides some fun, true dancing music, and the atmosphere is elegant, yet family friendly. There are little girls and boys in suits and ball gowns, young men and women mostly modestly attired and capable dancers, and old folks like me who have fun dancing with one and all in my less-than-skilled fashion. Fathers dancing with babes in arms, mothers dancing with 11 year old boys, and fathers taking their young lady daughter on his arm are all images that I treasure from this. My Lily (age 6) has danced literally the whole night with one or two young men...last year she and a nice 10 year old danced every dance that they didn't need to rush out for a drink or a potty break, holding hands, and wobbling back and forth--sometimes even in time to the music! :) Even Kel has been venturous and asked a couple fortunate young ladies, and Tova has been asked time and again, sometimes with the guidance of a loving father seeking out perspective partners to ask her. Old fashioned values, music, and modesty are all a part of this event!
