For awhile now I've been very discontented with how our homeschooling was going. Things were such a far cry from how I used to envision our homeschool would be. For the past 3 years we have used CHC exactly as the lesson plans go. While I LOVE CHC materials, this started to become much more of a 'school at home' approach than what I wanted. SOOOO, I've ordered FIAR for my 5 and 7 year olds for next year, and I ordered Cays Catholic Mosaic. I'm not sure what I'll do with my 9 and 11 year olds just yet, but, I feel I've made a step in the right direction!!! So, I'm excited!!

We've used FIAR and Beyond FIAR all along taking lots of rabbit trails. Our kids have learned so much.
We only deviated last year and we did not have as good a year  . We're back to Beyond and adding Catholic Mosaic in and can't wait!

That sounds great! I am sure you are going to have a wonderful year! It would be so much fun to let your 9 and 11 dc do FIAR and Catholic Mosaic along with the youngers, just adding some higher level work for them to do.
Have fun!!!
