Does teaching art seem to be impossible? Just wish you had a "helper" to teach art history and drawing? Wouldn't it be amazing to have a REAL artist around for a little while? Well, I have an answer! Read on...

images/cindy.jpg Hi!

My name is Cindy Rushton. I homeschooled my children from their toddler years until both graduated. One of my biggest convictions as a homeschool mom is that I believe that you are only as great as those you surround yourself with. If you want to know something, surround yourself with those who KNOW it, know it well, and know it passionately. These are the people that chose to introduce my children to through the years. They were the people that we had dinner with... we studied their resources... our children played together. I know that many of you would like that same type of education for your children. You can have it!

I have the great pleasure of surrounding myself and my children with great friends who know their stuff. NOW, you can too!

Sharon Jeffus is one of them. Now, YOU can get to know and learn from her. Best of all, she will teach YOUR children one day a week. You will ALL love this class! And...in my opinion the biggest perk is that you can study with Sharon in the comforts of your own home!

Wondering how? We are excited to be hosting Sharon's popular classes in our Talk-a-Latte Conference Room. No matter where you are around the globe you can join us live OR download all of the audios after the class to listen to at your convenience. It is amazing! We are soooo excited!

We Come to You!

Everything is hosted online as a virtual class. You can join in live in our Conference Room for each of the sessions or download all of the seminars by Mp3 after the event (or be there AND enjoy the audios after the class).

We will record the entire event--even the text chat that is shared among real families like yours. Everything will be taught live and then posted online later for you to download everything and listen to again and again and again. We bring everything TO YOU--in the comforts of your own home.

Plus, after the event you can review everything again by downloading all of the audios to listen to at your convenience--either on your own computer or on any Mp3 player. And that is not all...you can access all of the incredible gifts that our speaker and sponsors want to share as special gifts. Plus! You can enjoy all of these fantastic gifts at your leisure! Indefinitely!

No time to travel?
No extra money for hotels...parking...
and eating out?
Can't break away from your family?
AND...GAS!


Well...we have the PERFECT answer!

The biggest perk is that your children get to learn directly from a real life, homeschool mom and artist who knows her stuff! I advocate using real curriculum when you homeschool--real books, real life, and real people. You want the people who love their topics to impart that passion, love, and deep knowledge and wisdom to your children. Of course, you need people you can TRUST, especially when teaching a class as important as art. I wholeheartedly recommend my friend, Sharon. She has been the person that I have trusted to help me teach my children through the years. She is the one you have been looking for!

I clicked a link to Cindy Rushton in January of this year. I was touched right away with love that was poured into her site and I signed up for her ezines. I have loved everyone. I then purchased some of her materials and signed up for her Charlotte Mason Seminar (after the fact). I was taken aback by the down to earth atmosphere of the seminar format. I am now a part of her Talk-a-latte Organization 911 and Godly Woman Bible study. I could not even start to explain the blessings I have received from this. The studies are so practical but they also ministers to my heart in such a personal way. I love getting to know the ladies in the group and learning from Cindy. I am a part of a very small homeschool group in the Bahamas. It is so nice to be apart of something bigger. God has truly blessed me through Cindy and her resources.

Hi, I'm Janice Campbell of EverydayEducation.com, and I'm here to tell you that I've been tremendously blessed by Cindy Rushton's books and online seminars. As part of Cindy's Writer's Nook group, I've learned a lot and experienced solid support. Even though I've written two books, Transcripts Made Easy and Get a Jump Start on College, I have thoroughly enjoyed the process of working and learning more alongside a true professional with an encourager's heart. Cindy provides outstanding value in everything she offers, and I am looking forward to her new ventures with with great anticipation.

Oh friends! This is NOT your
typical homeschool art class!

The image “http://www.cindyrushton.com/images/MommyPals.JPG” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors. Would you just love to pick the brain of real people who know their stuff? Got tough questions that you have NO IDEA how to answer? Feel in over your head with teaching art history, much less drawing? Stressed about how to teach all the way through high school?

Imagine getting time to just talk friend-to-friend about a topic that you feel lost and overwhelmed by all of the information. Imagine having time to ask YOUR questions and learn from a master artist. Well, beloved, this your chance!

You are going to LOVE this class. Not only do you get to hear original, fresh workshops that are sure to help you, but the biggest perk is that you get TIME with Sharon Jeffus--you and your children can learn her secrets and catch the overflow of her years and years of experience. You will come away from this class with amazing growth in skills, but much, much more! Your children will also be ready to answer those skeptics in your life! What better preparation for every area of life?




Who should join Talk-a-Latte chats? YOU--if you're homeschooling, if you're a mom, if you're weary, lonely, or discouraged, if you've lost your vision, or if you just wanna have fun! I was all of the above, and the chats have lifted my spirits, taught me, given me fresh vision, turned my heart and face to God, given me practical, hands-on ideas, and introduced me to some of the greatest cyber-girlfriends who are kindred spirits on this journey!

http://www.cindyrushton.com/images/ANewList/Kerry&Steve-200.jpgTalk-A-Latte Chats are so encouraging for moms. Cindy shares a wealth of information. In fact she gives her heart and soul to those who are listening to her. When I finish listening to Cindy, I always have specific ideas to implement in my home the next day. I also want to thank Cindy for interviewing me on Talk-A-Latte. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the ladies on the chat and share ideas with them. Thanks, Cindy, for providing a great service to homeschool moms. You are truly filling a need for all of us.
