I was drawn to your blog by the name. How perfect. Thanks for reminding me about Apologia Astronomy. I totally forgot I have it in the basement!! :)
Wendi,
I think all of our children are about the same ages. We are continuing w/our US geography study and hope to venture out of the country next school year. I too will probably use some of Jolanthe's material (Homeschool Creations).
We started school last week and my preschooler (3) joined us too. I'm trying to figure out how to bring Circle Time back into our school. Last week was busy, but I know it will get better as we settle into our new routine.
We will be using Bible Study for all ages for the first time this year as well. We can cheer each other on! I have also heard wonderful things about it so here is hoping we both have a fantastic year using it!
sounds like a wonderful year in the making! We've just finished up with SL core 2, and we are using All about Spelling also.
it was nice to 'meet' you through the hop! :)

I too was drawn by the name of your blog. Simple works for us.
Oh I am so excited! I have been looking for a Kids Daily Devotion.
Thanks for all the geography resources! =) I really like those GeoPuzzles. I found them on Amazon and added them to my wishlist. (My wish list is growing at an alarming rate right now!) =P
You have a great year planned! We also love the Getty-Dubay Italic handwriting program:)
