Well here they are in all their glory. I don’t have the time to do all of the amazon links for you. So if you want to know more about it, just Google it, like I did! Maybe when I have more time, I will update this with links, but don’t hold your breath. Throughout the year, I will be crossing off the list and writing reviews if they are worthy of the time and energy.

What a great list. Your brain will have a good blend of stimulation this year.
I tried to read the Charlotted Mason series once. They took me so much longer to get through than I ever dreamed. I had to stop and move on to other books, but I did really appreciate what I learned from what I did read.
Happy New Year to you!

Yes, I have heard this about the CM series. I started with the companion last year, and think this year I can hang. I just plan to take the year and go SLOW:-) Homeschooling is teaching me about slow and steady. Not my nature for sure but such a good lesson to be given to learn!
I was looking for well rounded, so I will let you know how I do:-)
Great to see you back online. I am praying for a great 2008 for ya!
