Freshen up

Every year, around Mother's Day, I attend the homeschool book fair in Arlington, TX to get a feel for what's new and how I can solve any of our problem areas.   I saw a lot of neat things.  I purchased some and just drooled over others.  I can't incorporate everything, but I'm hoping to document some things here to refresh my memory when the time is right.

Here's our current curriculum line up, including my new finds:

We cycle through various Bible studies and devotional books fairly quickly.  Most books can be finished in month or two.
