Well, my plans are made and I am ready to share what we will be using this year for homeschooling. I am really excited about our curriculum as it really radiates Charlotte Mason principles and will be really simple to use.

I will be combining my two youngest daughters (ages 6 & 9) in one program and my two oldest daughters (ages 12 & 15) in another. My oldest daughters focus will be on writing a novel this year as that is her bent and since she is starting high-school this year, her curriculum choices will begin to be more focused on where the Lord has gifted her in, and less on the traditional models of education.

Here is our plan...
