We use a little of this and a little of that too. I tend to get board pretty easy, so the idea of using just one curriculum all year just doesn't work for us. The bad part of that is that I'm a curriculum junkie.....can't get enough of it. Is there any curriculum fairs coming to your state soon? Our big one is in June, and I can't wait.

I would just browse the many many different curriculum sites. Look at their samples, and the try to buy used. If I do that, I don't feel as bad if it doesn't work out. Plus you can resell it.
