I thought I'd post the curriculum we've been using this past year. We are almost through with our first year of homeschooling!  In some ways, I feel like it's been a lot longer.  We're still finding out what works for us.  It's always a challenge to find balance.

I'm excited to go to the Homeschool Convention this Saturday.  John Bytheway is one of the speakers.  They also have a Curriculum Fair set up so I'll be able to check out new curriculum options for next year.
