I was just cleaning up my blog “dashboard” and stumbled on this old post that I apparently never posted!  So I am extremely late adding this, but I still wanted to include it (so I can look back some day and say, oh yeah, so that’s what we did…you know one day in the future when all of these years are a hazy fog!)…so here is what we did for 2013-2014 (I apologize that not everything is linked…could be why it never got posted!)…

Faith: Catholic Mosaic books and copywork; Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (in our home with Moira Farrell’s handbook);
