Halfway through 2012-2013 School Year

We are halfway through our homeschool year. Our schooling took a Classical direction this year with help from Andrew Campbell's The Latin-Centered Curriculum. This book greatly simplified our homeschooling and freed us from the chains of progressive education. We used a couple of different Charlotte Mason programs for the past 4 years-Mater Amabilis and Ages of Grace. Mater Amabilis in particular is very well done and I would recommend it to any Catholic homeschooler. Ages of Grace no longer exists so I can't recommend it. Plus we found it way too overwhelming. With very little tweaking, I have been able to implement LCC successfully. I'll save the specifics of what we are doing for another post.
