Thanks for stopping by! :) It took me a few months of thinking on this to get it going. I hope to get the next installment out in the next few days! :)
They have had adventure, that's for sure. It made it easier because they have been homeschooled all along. So we weren't taking them out of the school system, away from school friends, etc.
We were homeschooling in the States. I use a curriculum called Ambleside Online and we really like it. It involves reading a lot of classical literature with the kids and having them tell back to me what they've heard/learned. It's much better than worksheets and not to difficult to get into. There are also a ton of "box curriculums" which basically give you a box, you open it and follow the teacher's guide all the way through - do worksheet 1a, 2a, 3a and read these stories. There are tons of curriculum options out there. You just have to figure out what you're looking for and jump into it. Our curriculum says not to start until the child turns 6 (which I like)! I write about homeschooling every Saturday on my blog as well.

Really interested about the home schooling thing. What method or direction did you take with that? Any suggestions?
