"Today
is the (college application) deadline. Thanks so much for
walking me through this - I could not have done it without your
guidance and your transcript example."
~ Michelle in Washington
~~~~~
"Thank
you for your help. You were my spring board to getting this
started and I mailed off the last of the information that Clemson
needed this morning. We have done what we can and now the
rest is in
God's hands. I will be better prepared when my 8th grader
starts the
college process. Thank you again for your guidance."
~ Susan in Washington
~~~~~
"Just
wanted to say thank you for all the help. From all the
information on your DVD's to all your help in our consulting
session. I'm sure I would have spent much more time and money
if
I tried to find this out on my own. I am really excited and
looking forward to home schooling Corey! He seems pretty
excited,
too.
Thanks again and God Bless,"
~ Don & Andrea in Des Moines

"Thank you so much for meeting with me today. You were so
organized, efficient, enthusiastic and encouraging. I loved
how
you were able to empathize and connect with me, but were able to keep
us on track and pass such helpful information on to me. You
have
a great balance between empathy and equipping. My head is
spinning with great information and I feel excited to take on
homeschooling my high schooler. I am so glad that I came
across
your booth at the WHO conference and I can't wait to recommend you to
anyone else who is planning to homeschool a high schooler!
This
was one of the best investments I have made for homeschooling.
Thanks again and may God bless your business/ministry."
~ Sally in Woodinville

"THANK
YOU so much for your help today. Matthew and I learned so
much and are excited
about his options. You've opened up his horizons, there are
many!
Now he just needs to choose his path. Thanks for the curriculum advice;
I am
looking into those as well. Your help was just what I needed.
Many
blessings in your consulting business. You are certainly a
blessing to
home schooling moms like me. You have been an answer to
prayer for me
concerning Matthew. It was so nice to talk to someone who
could relate to
some of the issues that I'm facing and may face. Your
experience and
wisdom has given me courage to move forward boldly in Matthew's
education.
Many, many thanks."

"Thank
you for all your help and for being willing to stay a little longer,
I hadn't noticed the time either. I thought Starbucks was
a good place to meet and it wasn't crowded at all. I do feel somewhat
overwhelmed right now with all the new information, but it's all good
stuff. I
just need to take a deep breath, say a prayer and take it one day at a
time.
Thanks again for taking all the time with us. We really needed the
extra help
to get us going in the right direction. When the time comes, I know
I'll be
meeting with you again to create transcripts and look for scholarships.
You
truly are providing an invaluable service for all of us who are out
there on
our own. Take care,"
~ Gloria in Puyallup
~~~~~
"Meeting
with you was very helpful in clearing up the confusion I had about my
high school years. I know now that my high school
years aren't just all day impossible school work, but manageable work
that will
prepare me for college.
"PS. Thanks for that spelling suggestion, my mom figured
out I was doing college level spelling. Now I'm off the hook!"
~ Samantha (daughter of Gloria in Puyallup)
~~~~~
"I
don't know if I ever thanked you. I wanted to make sure you
knew how valuable our meeting was to me. I am excited,
inspired, and confident. I will definitely be contacting you again!
And thanks for the fabulous newsletter each month.
God's richest blessings to you,"
~ Denise in Renton (consultation and scholarship search)
~~~~~
"Your presentation was
excellent, and as I said, exceeded my expectations for content. Thanks
again
for coming east to talk with us. Your professionalism is apparent; it
will set
you apart from the other successful moms of graduates who are making a
second
(or third!) career for themselves in the homeschool consulting industry."
~ Linda in Sammamish (High School Crash Course)
~~~~~
"I was very pleased with
the information that I received from you this morning. Having a mindset
of
keeping
the children's work and recording NOW will prove to be helpful for
future
transcript preparation. Again, it was my pleasure in making a
connection with
you. What you did was professional and useful to me."
~
MJ in Sammamish (High School Crash Course)
~~~~~
"I
can't tell you thank you enough for all the
encouragement, advice, and directness, that you have given me. I
learned more
from you in our hour than if I had read a book on the subject (which
would have
taken me a month or more) and then trying to figure everything out
myself
(another month). I am so encouraged now and know that we can do this!!
My
daughter is also very encouraged. At the library yesterday I noticed
that she
checked out some books on the SAT and other testing books. That's a
huge
encouragement for me and our family. I'll keep you updated on how we
are doing
and I won't hesitate to call if I need your help."
~ Kristi in New Mexico (emergency consultation)
~~~~~
"Thank
you so much for the emergency consultation. It really
did ease my mind and made me sit down and look at where [my son] is at."

"Hi Lee!
I really enjoyed it when you came to speak during the H.O.M.E. meeting a couple of months ago.
I felt a little calmer (my daughter is starting 9th Grade this year) after hearing your take on things.
Thanks for all of your info and encouragement!!!"
~Annie in Washington

"I just heard you
speak at the Homeschool College Fair and you were so inspiring and
informative! Thanks,"
~ Maureen
~~~~~
"The
Homeschool
College Fair was a phenomenal success! Your seminars were
very
successful and well attended! We had resoundingly positive
feedback from our attendees. Thank you again for your
participation!"
~ Tracy from the PNW Homeschool College Fair
~~~~~
"I
just wanted to let
you know that Ben (and I) really enjoyed your talk at the homeschool
college fair. I wish that we could have stayed for the last one as
well. We are all curious as to which school was "college A". Also, let
your husband know that I really liked his write up on the Incredibles."
~ Sharon in Washington
~~~~~
"I
really enjoyed your presentation last Thursday for the At Home in
Seattle group. It was informative, encouraging and even
entertaining! You speak so well, and make homeschooling
through
high school sound so easy to do! I feel more confident and
empowered after every time I hear you speak, and as my 8th grade son
and I begin to prepare for high school and college, I'm actually
looking forward to it now! Thanks for all you're
doing to
support homeschoolers in WA and beyond,"
~ Jill in Seattle
~~~~~
"Thank
you so much
for speaking to our group last week. Your presentation was so
informative and we all walked away with useful tools for assigning high
school grades and credits. Your professionalism, combined with your
personal warmth and experience, put everyone at ease and gave each of
us confidence to continue homeschooling through high school. We can't
wait to have you come back! Thanks again,"
~ Carie Fagan, "At Home in Seattle" Homeschool Group
~~~~~
"Lee
Binz spoke on high school level testing and did a
great job! I was very impressed with her speaking abilities. I have
know Lee
for years and she recently started a home business where she helps
[create]
transcripts for high schoolers. I highly recommend her. I'm sure she
would love
to speak to your group."
~Donna from Burien HSA
~~~~~
"Thank
you for your time yesterday evening. Your
presentation on what we, as parents, can do to assist our children as
they
prepare to apply for universities was truly helpful to my family.
Though my
family has a college strategy, I wanted to attend your talk to
hopefully find
security that our plan is leading our sons in the directions they've
requested.
Not only did I find that reassurance in your words and demeanor, but I
also
came home with several gems of knowledge to make our family’s
journey more
prolific when it reaches the formal education stage. Your support of
fellow
homeschooling families is greatly appreciated. Thank you,
again."

High School Transcript"The transcript looks beautiful ! ! ! ! Okay, so is this word document that you created under lock and key in a fireproof file for safekeeping and adding to in coming years????!!! I am delighted to read of another scholarship. Thanks!!! Respectfully and with lots of hugs.....delighted that homeschooling allowed me to meet you, learn from you and benefit from your expertise!!!!!"
~ Eileen in Washington

"I think Landon's transcript that you did for me is excellent. I just made two copies because he is
applying at two colleges today. I am very grateful for all your help, I
was really panicking and desperately wanted to do it right, I feel
incredible relief now to know that it is done and looks so
professional. Today I viewed your dvd about scholarships. I
took
four pages of notes, it was just full of good information. Thankfully I
can watch it again to be sure I did not miss anything. I look forward
to seeing the other dvd Finding a College. I may watch it tomorrow, we
need to get this done asap."
~ Linda in Washington
~~~~~
"I also want
to
highly recommend Lee's services to
anyone who has questions about the high school years! I had a
consultation with
her yesterday and it was so helpful and amazing to watch Allison's
transcript
fill before my very eyes. I think as homeschoolers we can be VERY
critical of
our little schools and I didn't even realize how much was learned last
year.
Lee's service is truly a blessing and her rates are very reasonable! I
will be
using her service again next year and probably every year until both of
my
older kids are graduated."
~ Lisa in Washington (emergency consultation w/ transcript)

"I
want to
thank to thank you, once again, for your help with
Charlie's transcripts. As you know, it's tough to get back in public
school
after Homeschooling for many years. The first few weeks of High School
were
very daunting, to say the least. But, things got better. Last
night my other son Nick and I went to the inaugural Senior Awards Night
at the new Bonney Lake High School. Charlie, along with 23
other
seniorswere presented with the Double Gold Honor
Cords,
for achieving highest academic honors with an accumulated gpa of 3.76
or
higher! I believe that without your help he might not even be
graduating this
year, let alone with top honors. I wish we knew what his plans for
furthering
his education were earlier, as he may have been awarded a scholarship
or two.
As soon as we decide which college he wants to go to, I would like to
ask for
your help once again, as I know you will be very helpful. His friend,
Drew
Chapman was presented with a FULL scholarship to WEST POINT valued at
around
$300,000! His parents would not have been able to afford anything like
that
without the appointment. Thank you , Lee for all your help,"
~ Gord in Washington (unschooler)
~~~~~
"I
love what you did and also the suggestions you made.
I was wondering about those same things -- grade point average with the
college
credits, trends, etc. I will have to think it over a little bit, but it
really
helps having someone else give input like that."
~ Julie in Seattle
~~~~~
"Though
I'm pretty organized, I know I can't do the
record keeping, transcripts etc. without your help, nor do I want to! I
... was
able to see an example of your work. I'm completely impressed and
thrilled to
know ...the angel that placed your flyers around!"
~ Leslie in Duvall
~~~~~
"Yes,
Yes, Yes, I love it. I love the way it looks all
written down. Thank you so much. Money well spent.
~ Kerry in Billings
~~~~~
"I
feel the same way. I could have prepared the
transcript for my daughter. I had all of the information here... but it
would
have taken me FAR longer and it wouldn't have looked as nice. I love
your
format and your creative wording! For me your service is great for even
those
of us who *can* do it, but we don't have time."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!! There is no way that my husband or I could have come up with 40 scholarships for Allison to apply for in just a couple of days, even if we had the time to look. I spent about 1 hour on the fastweb site one day and was completely overwhelmed and didn't learn a thing, so this is invaluable to us!I can't wait for her to get started. Please pray with us that she will be diligent in filling out these applications. Like her mother, procrastination is her middle name."
~ Laura in Illinois

"THANK
YOU... THANK YOU... THANK YOU... This is a MONUMENTAL tool
for me! Thank you
soooo much. I'm very excited to start this and see where it leads! The
scholarships and essays you picked were amazing (plus I definitely
think they're
ones I can handle), and your advice was extremely helpful!!! I had no
idea
where to go, or what to do, but your help has made me feel incredibly
prepared
and empowered to charge through the start of university/scholarship
searching!!! I think I'll forever be in debt to you! :-D Thanks - this had to have
been a lot of work
for you ... thank you for investing in me.

"We're kind
of stunned. [Our daughter] is working
at a different level this year and has been motivated and shown
initiative and
good time and stress management. I think it really helped to work with
you on
scholarships - it gave her some structure and made the whole college
thing
real."

"I
am so gratefulto you for all of [my son’s]
schedules
and very excited to have this work underway. Thank you for your support
and
such organized, professional paper work. [My husband] was pleased (for
me
especially.) [My son] is glad for a schedule and likes the ending
dates, goals
that he has to work toward. He especially liked seeing his 4.0s with
still five
months left in school. I told him those numbers can be deleted and
replaced! With
much appreciation,"

"It shocked
me what you completed in such detail and
pretty format in such a short time frame. Of course I am comparing that
time
frame to what it would have taken me; realistically I would have not
done it.
You completed an enormous volume of records and made our whole family
feel
great about what we had accomplished. My kid feels validated by these
records;
I caught him reading them again last night. Lee, you also gave me a
vision of
the end goal and I will use that to finish the high school years. It
helps me
to know what is expected on the final transcripts. This has given me a
lift at
the end of the school year that will likely carry me straight through
the next
8 years. You just have to promise to keep this service for that long or
train
someone. You must be one of those expert puzzle players. Assembling
pieces of
unknown origin into a pretty picture. So looking forward to showing
everyone
your work,"
