The last few weeks, I’ve been doing one of my favorite things: planning our next school year. I usually purchase our materials in Jan./Feb. each year after we receive our tax refund. I love looking through catalogs, making lists, and reading reviews on various curricula. I love hearing about how others homeschool! That doesn’t mean I will take every bit of advice tossed my way, nor will I necessarily agree with every opinion, but I like hearing about it! Every homeschooling family is unique. We all face our own challenges and have our own special strengths. We can customize our schedule, methods and materials to meet each of our family’s needs. I love that!


With that said, I would like to hear what you are doing this year, or what you would like to do differently next year. What has worked for you? What hasn’t? Do you homeschool all year long? Do you use the Charlotte Mason style? Do you un-school? What books have inspired or encouraged you in your homeschooling journey?  I’m interested! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 🙂
