    After almost 10 years of homeschooling I ditched my pre-packed curriculum last week. I was soooo tired of it. The kids were bored and tired of the worksheets. I can’t tell you how refreshed I feel. I am reading books that I want to read to my children and choosing the activites that I want to do with the kids. Yeah!

    I just had to share 🙂

    I have an entire stack of curriculum to sell too.  It’s taken me that long also to let go of a few subjects, but after finding this site this year, even the textbook style English is in the get rid of pile!  I know how you feel! :o)  Hurray for you

    Hey erin.kate…small world 🙂 The other curriculum actually fit really well for a certain time in my life and I still love certain aspects of it. I did find that I was always tweeking things. In general, I just march to the beat of my own drum…CM has given me a good framework, yet ability to do more of what I want with my homeschool. I can’t wait for fall!!

    It fit us really sweetly too for a season, but wholly CM is endlessly better in millions of layered ways. Have fun!

    @erin.kate … “organic goodness” … YES. That’s it, exactly. Beautifully worded.

    YAY! Me too, it took me two years. Here’s hoping to a fabulous new year for both of us!
