Although, I have to admit there are things I used that she doesn't reccomend because they fit our family better, however, SWB tells you to use what works. I love that the framework is there and I can plug into the framework what works for our family. It's not like curriculum in a box, where if you don't do it this way you don't know if you're covering all your bases. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE WTM and I'm so grateful to my friend Jean for hooking me up!
