I restarted the book, Washington, A Life, and am hoping its worth it. I just read a review that talks about how Ron Chernow books tend to drag through some of his narrative. I've noticed that already, and I'm only a few chapters into it. Another challenge is having to have my iPad open as I read the book (paper) so I can bring up portraits as he refers to them. Given that the portraits seem to drive the narrative, I think pictures should have been included. The prose is written for an advanced reader with an excellent vocabulary, it is not the kind of book that would appeal to visual learners like mine.
On curriculums: yes, I'm addicted to looking at curriculums. It's a byproduct of homeschooling for so long!
A math approach I recently learned about and would love to buy to investigate more fully. See Sharon's story: http://www.12345math.com/sharons-story/

And this is a language arts approach I just might buy. It sounds intriguingly promising and appeals to my English teacher side. Too bad it wasn't around several years back!

Oh, and one last one for sewers or tailors out there: sewmamasew.com. Lots of things to try to make. I actually got turned onto this one through Craftsy.com, which I love!
