In our short tenure of homeschooling (3 years) we've tried a little bit of everything.   I feel very confident that we've dipped our toes in the waters of every homeschool method pool that's out there.

The first year was spent being VERY structured, trying to survive and learn.  {You know what I mean.}   We used Sonlight and stuck to the schedule rain or shine.   Year two we began to blossom into Unit Studies and Interest Led Learning, Classical, and Charlotte Mason. 

Now, we live in a state of methodical confusion, and I LIKE IT THAT WAY!
