I ...Sweetpetunia -- It is so good to hear from you. I love your phrase describing Carole's philosophy as "an easy yoke" philosophy. So true.<br /><br />I have attempted to use My Father's World curriculum. They (MFW & CJS) have much overlap in their book lists & philosophy of education. I couldn't keep up the year that I tried to use MFW but we still use many treasures that were highlights when I used that curriculum. (The drawing of a Middle Eastern map from memory -- we use this ALL the time.) Our kids loved doing a Sabbath dinner the one time we did that (We used the Ancients to the Greeks). But because it stressed me out to feel so behind all the time and that she jumps around in the books -- I like to read straight through...--was hard on me. <br /><br />I have also liked the philosophy of Valerie Bendt and her unit studies -- which are also an easy yoke philosophy. Basically, encouraging me in the way that I naturally homeschool if that is possible. <br /><br />It is good to find the way & rhythm that works for each family. <br /><br />Thanks so much for commenting.Kathleen T.

I love listening to Carole speak too! I was lucky enough to convince my hubby to come with me last time she was speaking in our area. We both really liked what she had to say. We also picked up a Seeds CD and all our children love it. Even the teenager! That's saying a lot. The teen is working on getting the worship team in our church to play one of the songs in church. The worship leader had her write an extra verse so it's a bit more "singable". <br /><br />I usually use My Father's World curriculum but since we probably won't be able to afford it for our four children this year, I think I'm going to just jump in where we left off in history and use Carole's teaching methods. I'm thankful for Carole and her "easy yoke" philosophy.Sweetpetuniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129737403816674580noreply@blogger.com
