Hey! How did you know I was in my bathrobe and slippers? 'Cause I totally am. Anyway, I haven't used Sonlight, but when I first homeschooled Becca, I really, really considered it, but the price for the total package was prohibitive for her grade. But I've heard many good things about it. Have you tried the website HomeschoolReviews.com to see what others who have used it think? A word of caution: sometimes the conflicting reviews of curriculum only confused me more than helped me.

I also know of a school in Savannah that uses Sonlight for their elementary curriculum and a friend said she was pleased with what all her first grade daughter was reading and learning.
 

could it be a little Duran Duran????
