Her teaching plan isn't for everyone, but it really works well for Beau and Paddy. I love it because there is very little Prep, it's extremely cost efficient (especially if you have a Kindle, or you can download books to your computer), and her style really jives with what I envision our homeschool day to be like.

I think it depends on what you want out homeschooling and how your child learns.

Like Meg, Charlotte Mason's style is how we roll. We unschooled the past 2 years and we found ourselves being very CMish so this year we're using Ambleside Online.

I have one in kindergarten you can see exactly what he's doing curriculum wise in my siggy link. He's actually doing year 1 and loving it which is a heavier load than I envisioned for kindergarten but it's homeschool so you roll with the changes, and while my oldest needed very delayed start academics, my youngest is like total opposite and is mad as hell that he can't read yet and want's to do 2-3 lessons a day out of Teach Your child To Read in 100 easy lessons! (A book I personally hate, but he loves!)

Research the options, ask questions them jump on in and try something, if it doesn't work, you can always change it!
