Homeschooling can be a challenge. You might want to start with reading some books. The Well Trained Mind is one often recommended, although I haven't read it.
There are different approaches to homeschooling - ranging from traditional approaches that use curricula similar to school to unschooling that just learns as life presents the chance. Classic, unit studies, eclectic are some others.
There are also distance learning programs such as K12 that many use. K12 is cool in that they use the computer and allow kids to work at their pace and level in different subjects.
We did homeschool for a few months and enjoyed the series 'What your Nth grader should know'. There is a 'core curricullum' built around those books that might be interesting, but we quit homeschooling before we got there.
Mostly, we felt that while we would do a better job of meeting academic needs, the social needs are being better met at school. As long as school keeps our son from being too terribly bored, we are coasting for now. Although I am concerned about the long term.
Make sure you have some plans for adequate social interaction and physical exercise. Also some alone time as family relationships can be strained by too much togetherness. If there is a local homeschoolers group, that can be a great source for support.
Hope this helps,
