Hi - I've just stumbled upon your blog this afternoon and I'm finding it really interesting and helpful to me as I try to figure out our own homeschooling schedule and how to fit in all of the neat stuff I want to cover with the kids, without being too busy or stressed. :) My kids are 7, 5, 4, and 2.5 and we've been homeschooling for almost 2 years now. Thanks for sharing all of your thoughts & plans - it's given me a ton of food for thought!
