I am starting CC this year and was feeling great about it until I got an email from the Essentials tutor. She made it sound so overwhelming. I will have 3 in Foundations, 1 in Essentials and 1 in Challenge 1. I was encouraged to read your post because it sounds like you don't spend oodles of time on CC each day. As a single mom I only have about 3 hours a day to homeschool. As and experienced CC person does that sound doable?
