Yesterday we had a chance to go home.  It was so wonderful!!!   I spent the day working on my daughter's Easter dress and had the afternoon free for goofing off with the children.  Reminded me all over again about why I love being home with my children. 

I always worry about the weeks we miss school during tax season and yesterday I was pulling through our workbooks and it dawned on me.....unit study is the way to go for those few months.  So I pulled out two great books we have on Maps and Geography that include worksheets.  The beginning is mostly review work and then it advances.  Most of the review work is self led activities that the children can do together.  When I add their Literature from the Library.  Bible, oral Math drills and history videos we're really doing pretty much a full day.  I just wasn't looking at it that way.

After tax season I want to find out more about the Charlotte Mason schooling philosophy.  From what I've heard I think our family would greatly benefit from the change.
