Anyway, I am enjoying your new musings and thoughts on your adventure. I know you mentioned above that there is an overwhelming amount of info and choices in homeschooling, and I agree completely that sitting with Mike, praying together, and listening to God's vision for your family is the only way to go. I do HAVE to mention -- because when I read your earlier posts on the other blog this came to mind -- that the My Fathers World curriculum is written in such a way that it meets your family in a lot of areas. Anyway, you can read more about it at mfwbooks.org. We've been using it for three years now, and has a GREAT global, missional perspective and fits our family's flexibility goals. Ask any questions, if you have any. And thanks again for your writing. Heather Amber,

Anyhow, a little of both and some classical keeps me in the road. And Cavalletti has my heart as well.

I love her laid back approach. Her ideas make it possible to enjoy every bit of life while learning at the same time. I know of many who use the Charlotte Mason approach that love amblesideonline.org/. Didn't know if you'd heard of it yet. Enjoy the adventure. amanda Charlotte Mason is a favorite of mine.
