I hope you can find something like it if you want to, but I am sure you have wonderful things going on as well! My work keeps us from doing some of the activities I want, so I guess we all have a bit of give and take going on. :) Connie, I feel so very fortunate to be a part of this group.

Maria, thank you. I feel much better on my current regimen, and I'm hoping to get better and better. I think FIAR is the perfect unit study approach. Susan, the co-op group is such a wonderful resource. I love FIAR. In the early days, I obsessed about everything. I felt I had to be all or none with everything. Right now I am taking all we love from Ambleside and sticking with that, but I feel FIAR will always be the heart of our homeschool. It's just so easy. Becky, I know! Doesn't FIAR just make the best memories? And you are NOT the first person who asked about Coco. It makes me smile. I guess I should change the picture. I answered your question in today's post. ;) Kisha, it is so nice. I really appreciate this group. I do think the children learn a lot and it reinforces what we do at home. Jenn, thank you! I hope you are doing well. I have worked today and yesterday so I need to catch up on my blog reading. I think our co-op is so great because of those involved. It is just a pleasure to be involved with them. Emily, I am really enjoying the Ambleside. This is our first year with Ambleside, though not my first exposure to Charlotte Mason, so we are taking it slow. I don't want to be overwhelmed and give up. AO is a lot of reading, so we will do all we can this year and then dive in again next year! FIAR is wonderful. It really is. Thank you for your comment. Marqueta, I'm sorry about your pipes! We have had that happen here once, years ago. Hubby had to go under the house and unfreeze them with a heater or torch or something. I don't remember what he used by now. ;) The children in the group are very well behaved and some are just brilliant! Well, they all are brilliant. :) Diane, I think you'll like Purple House Press. If you're looking for good books, they've got 'em! Oh, Suzanne, I wish you could too. Could you start one? If you visit the FIAR boards, I wonder if there are people in your general location who would want to do this. We have one lady in our group, my friend Leslie, and I think she just had a vision of what this could be and she just did it and stuck to it!

The children look so well-behaved, and like they're just so absorbed in the learning process. Here's to Mod Podge! I love the jumper and shiny shirt, too. Love, Marqueta p.s. We've been a.w.o.l. the last three days, since our pipes froze up and we've been spending the days at my mom's house. Hopefully tomorrow they'll defrost, and we'll get on those letters to you gals!

The co-ops I've been a part of had sooo many people, it was a bit too much. Keeping it small seems like a good idea. We used FIAR for a bit when my son (now 22) was little, but I'm mostly using the Ambleside Online with my daughter. Hope you're feeling better. What a delightful day you all had!

Thank you. I used to ROW when the kids were younger. I should do it again. It would be a great way to start the new year. I've been praying about what to do next semester. Thank you for the Purple Press link, too. Your co-op sounds like a blessed group indeed. The co-ops I have been part of have been so school-like and very expensive, not to mention too hectic for me. I appreciated your sweet comment the other day. I need all the encouragement I can get to keep going! Have a wonderful weekend. Jenn First of all, Lynn, I am so refreshed after a visit with you.
