We have a couple favorites in that category, and find curriculum a useful tool as long as it s treated as just that. Last Tuesday we ran out of milk, had a blizzard that dumped 2 feet of snow, and found chicken pox on my 6 yr old. All before lunch. The days that turn out to be the least academic often lead to the most learning, and that is the real blessing and advantage of homeschooling to me. We call our school Mustard Seed Home School.
Prayer comes first , then learning, then academics.
With plenty of playdoh and cooking along the way.
