Looks pretty cool. Especially for the Charlotte Mason Enthusiast who doesn't like to hunt for books.

It does look cool. Different from Sonlight in that SL covers World history only in Core 1 and 2, then American history in Cores 3 and 4... Living books seems to cover both world and american history each year. I saw a few books I really liked in this curric, though, I think I'll find them and add them.

Oh, they emphasize handicrafts as part of Charlotte Mason. But the book they use is Little Hands Art book, for their Grade 1 curric. And I just don't like that book. I haven't really looked at what handicrafts are in CM, but I prefer more of an open experience art.

I have to agree with you Heather about the arts. I was mostly looking at the third grade, so I will have to see what they are suggesting for arts.

I did find this article on Handicrafts that was helpful to me....
