I have been home educating for 15 years and really love quality literature with a Wholehearted Child / Charlotte Mason Approach. This year life has become rather busy and as much as I would like to put together my own curriculum I find I just do not have the energy to pull through so I am using a Sonlight Core B as my spine with a few eclectic things added in.
