I did read the WTM, and perhaps I need to read it again. It was not the right fit for our kids when I first read it, but I think it may make a lot more sense now that they are six and eight. I have most of the SOTW materials, and we did Real Science 4 Kids Chemistry last semester with a science coop of two other families.
I think I might try Sonlight again. Our kids love to read and it is a ready to go curriculum. We did it for a few months of kindergarten, and I liked it but our daughters wanted to read the entire books and at that time, I thought I had to follow the schedule. In my defense, I was brand new at homeschooling then. We are doing Dreambox right now for math, because math is not their area of strength. Our younger dd is breezing through it very fast. They both find Math U See boring, which is a shame, since I like MUS so much.
I had serious homeschool burnout by the end of last semester. I didn't even want to look at anything dimly related to homeschool.
I am just now getting my bearings again and realizing that I was heavily overcommitted, and that I was hanging out with friends who were just as scheduled but way more energetic. :-)
