Does anyone follow a Charlotte Mason type of homeschooling?  I have a toddler that I'm considering using this method for....I never had a chance to really read very much about her methods to use on my current senior in high school or to apply much for my already 14 year old who will be entering high school, but thought I might have enough time to learn for the preschooler to be...  any suggestions on the best websites and the best books to give me a good overall picture and how to get started?

Thank you.  From what i've read so far, this method seems like something I would like.  At least for the primary years, it seems reasonable.

We use a modified Charlotte Mason method with my 7 year old son an will include our 5 year old next year. We also incorporate Waldorf techniques.  It is great for little ones with short lessons and lots of nature study.
