I've just purchased a SL Core 2 IG to help us finish up our Middle Ages studies. I feel good about this choice, as it will help me to see if I do want to return to SL for our US studies, or entertain other options (going with TOG's year 2, units 3 and 4). The IG I purchased is actually a brand new 2004 IG but has never even been opened. Since we use many of SL read alouds, this will provide the structure I was hoping for; and, I don't have a consistent plan to give to Hugs for Bible reading, so I'll use SL's reading schedule as well. I feel very comfortable with this and a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I'm hopeful that we might even get in a bit more of world history so that we can have a view of the world upon which to layer our US studies next year.
We are a Christian family educating our 3 boys: Hugs (8), Smiley (5), and Giggles (2). We've chosen to use mostly classical homeschooling methods, though this could change as the Lord leads us. I've started this blog because I have wanted to journal about our homeschooling experience, and life in general, but it is nearly impossible to sit with paper and pen. So, I'll write about where the Lord is leading our homeschool, how we're doing with it, and other bits about life with 3 boys.
(Yes, I realize that my boys will hate their online monikers in a few more years!)

Can I ask -- since you are using the schedule now to base your studies off of, what did you use before to base them off of?
