Hi!  I'm Lori, and homeschool two daughters, aged 8 and 12.  They've always 
been homeschooled (never registered in school).  We're pretty unstructured in 
our approach - unschooling, child-led, or whatever you'd like to call it.  
We're in WAshington state.  The girls' grandpa is currently tutoring them in 
math, so they have weekly assignments - but that's about as close to 
"curriculum" as we get around here.
The kids choose their own materials and activities, pretty much running with 
whatever opportunity presents itself.  My eldest has been taking flute 
lessons for a couple years, and is now tutoring me on the piano.  I had 
lessons as a kid, but have learned more music theory from my daughter in the 
last month than I learned in several years of piano lessons.
I like to say that we  have a lot of learners at our house, rather than 
having "teachers" here.  There's always learning going on, but not much 
formal teaching of anything.  The girls are taking gymnastics classes, and 
take advantage of community ed classes and the like when something strikes 
their fancy.  For instance they attended a week of "puppet camp" over the 
summer, where they built a puppet and put a play together.  We took a one-day 
class on Japanese fish-printing a couple months ago.
  So what are your kid(s) ages, and what approach do you use for 
homeschooling?
Looking forward to hearing from you - LL
