Incidentally, Elizabeth Foss of Real Learning, mother of eight who homeschools Charlotte-Mason-style, has started a brand-new blog that is "just the jottings of our daily happenings." It’s just a daily check list of what she’s having her family do for their schooling each day. The CM style, with lots of books and narrations, meshes well with a big family, for there’s not as much work for the "teacher" on a daily basis.
I’ve bookmarked it — already it’s a source of great ideas. Older kids listening to great books on their iPods while doing chores, then coming back to narrate, for instance.
