I almost used the same picture for the third week in a row as the knitting (especially the knitting) and reading have not changed that much. I still have hopes of finishing my mom's cowl by the end of the month which means that the project is going to start coming with me (that is if I ever leave the house!).
The Egg and I is providing some closing hours entertainment--I do actually laugh out loud with this one which is just so refreshing. I have slowed a bit though as my homeschooling reading is picking up. I am going to start teaching our 5 year old in the fall using a loose interpretation of the Charlotte Mason approach and I am getting the jitters about it. For those of who who have homeschooled using this method, do you have any experience with Living Books Curriculum? Last minute, I am considering a curriculum purchase.

Just started a cowl myself. I'll have a pic up later in the day. Good luck for you on your homeschooling adventure. I am looking forward to hearing all about it. I am so interested and frankly, amazed by most homeschooling mamas. Always interested in things I can use to round out public school education for my own kids and my students. Egg and I is going on my to-read list!
Love a book that makes me laugh out loud.
And I second Kerry, I'm so impressed by the work and research you put in to providing a good education for your kids. I bet purchasing is expensive, huh?
I didn't even post my knitting today as I'm actually BEHIND where I was last week. I found a mistake and picked myself back and didn't have time to move forward!
I do use Charlotte Mason but have never used a curriculum. Sorry. I can definitely say, "good choice" though. I've used Charlotte Masons philosophy for 14 years now. You won't go back!
Blessings, Debbie
we also use CM loosely.....I like the simply charlottemason site for book planning and of course amblesideonline. This is our 17th year......take a deep breath and let your child lead you....at this young age it should all be fun!!
Wishing you all the best with your homeschooling experience! We also homeschool and it has been a wonderful journey so far!
As a former teacher, and a mamma who is seriously contemplating homeschooling, I wish you all the best in your adventures this fall. Trust your gut--you know your children and what they need, and those instincts won't fail you. Remember, your 5-year-old is just that: 5--let them play, explore, question, create--that will be enough!
