You describe our daily routine. I find myself overwhelmed sometimes, as I discover what books are best for my two older kids. But it is those moments of reading on the couch, having my arms around my kids and spending time outdoors that makes it all worth it! I, too, feel like a blessed mom. Who says it's ever too late to start. My kids are 12 and 17! It took some time, as I had to work full time. But my prayers were answered and I'm living my dream.

Now there are 8, and this is just how I feel. Love the part about planning being a hobby. Our books for next year are coming in daily, and it feels like Christmas. Thanks for the pictures and the book list...can't wait to check some of them out!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12637576898994084175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-78749611101640099232013-06-12T17:33:36.105-07:002013-06-12T17:33:36.105-07:00We sound like kindred spirits, Celeste!

I had been tentatively planning on using aBeka curriculum for my daughter for Kindergarten which I enjoyed when I was homeschooled as a child - but I was just not excited about it at all. Then I discovered Ambleside Online and started reading about Charlotte Mason's way of teaching, and something clicked in my brain - I thought, "YES!" and I've been so excited to get started since then. :) I have enjoyed every minute of planning our K year and can't wait to read those books to my daughter.
