This is by no means all that I am doing. This is just a few things I am excited about. I am still using Abeka math. Hoping to find a new curriculum next year for math. I am not excited about Saxon. We will see.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you home schooling mommies out there, that are still reading this.
Have a great school year.

Those books sound really great! We started last Monday! It went really well! I'm really enjoying it, but it seems like SOO MUCH!!! The math alone has been taking us an hour, and the little schedule they put to help you says it should take 25 minutes. How long do you spend on Math?
I spend about 30 minutes, 4 days a week with my oldest (now starting 4th grade). My younger one, a little less. I am very laid back though...if they are having a bad day, we do the entire math lesson on the dry erase board or orally. I do NOT stress them or myself out with school anymore. When they know a certain lesson, we move on. I do not make them do 1000 math problems to show me they know.
Anyway. :) I just wanted you to know that everytime I try to access your blog, while downloading your main page...my computer freezes up, and I have to shut it down. I don't know if it the amount of graphics or what. So, I am very sorry I don't go to, or comment on your blog. I used to love it. :)
