I am not doing very well keeping up with my blog, apparently.  I have been looking into buying Titus2.com's Managers of Their Homes to help better with motivating me and my family and helping us to better spend our time more wisely.  If any of you have this or know someone who does, please share your thoughts on it with me before I decide to make the purchase.
Anyway, as you all know, we have been choosing next year's curriculum over the past few months and I am very excited about what we have decided to go with.  As of right now, we will be using My Father's World's Exploring Countries and Cultures Deluxe Package for our core curriculum.  For mathematics we will be using Math-U-See.  Tori will be doing Epsilon and Timothy will be doing Gamma.  For language arts we will be using First Language Lessons.  We will be using Character First's Series Two for our character trait development. Tori will also be using the Writing Strands curriculum. For their foreign language, we are going through Spanish on Mango Language which is pretty cool since our local library offers it free on a link from their site.
In our current hs curriculum, we are still doing SOS history and bible for both Tori and Tim.  Tori is using SOS for math and language arts as well.  Tim is doing math from a regular ps 2nd grade text book and language arts he is doing First Language Lessons.  They are both doing flash facts to help with memory recall of basic math.  They alternate science between Apologia's Exploring Creation with Astronomy and a Charlotte Mason style of nature journaling.  They are read to from various books of devotions, manner development and character building.  They are read living books and read living books on their own.  We planted what seems like a million flower seeds  and they are growing and growing, they are ready for their second re-potting.  We didn't do very well labeling what was what so its going to be a lovely surprise. :)
