So many choices...

I love the idea of real books, like Sonlight offers. I love the Weaver approach, unit studies based on Scripture. I love the thought of classical education.
That sound like me! But because of limited funds, and my own disorganized ways, I've just used a little of this and a little of that.
How many times have you switched curriculums?How many of you bought something you thought would be perfect, only to find out your child didn't like it at all?Because I have been pretty eclectic, I've tried a number of things. I find one program for a given topic, try it, and if it works, use it; if not, it gathers dust! Sometimes it even sits on a shelf or in a box for a while before I even try it out! Used book stores (or the used sale at a curriculum fair) make this test driving of a program more affordable!
Someone just recently told me about Ambleside Online too, and I have gotten sooooo excited! I just may be able to teach the kids the way I have wanted to for years (10 years, to be exact), but just haven't found the right helps to do so. I highly recomend you checking this site out!!

I think I will mix and match until we figure out his learning style.

You really do not have to spend tons of money trying all kinds of different curriculums. You have the general idea of what you like, so just use them. All you need is a simple plan, choosing subject areas and topics to cover, then read and write or narrate on what has been read. You can even use the library or etexts.
