We don't follow a set schedule with a set curriculum. We do have a typical daily routine as far as dressing, eating, cleaning, errands, etc., but our learning is spread throughout the days, weeks, months and doesn't have a particular beginning or end. We're basically learning all the time, 7 days a week, all year long. Our version of homeschooling is more of a lifestyle than a scheduled school calendar.
Some things we typically do each day include reading, exploring outdoors, researching, counting/adding/measuring, cooking, crafting, imaginative play, building, playing games/puzzles, playing music and sports activities. We take lots of field trips too. We try to just have fun exploring new things and documenting our experiences.
Here are some recent photos of our busy days...

I've often considered homeschooling, though a nearby charter school seems more likely in the near future (if we can get our son in, that is, it's very much in demand).
I'm curious though, where you got teh quote, "I homeschool because I've seen the village and I don't want it raising my children."?
I do know of what "village" it refers to, and I think that quote is the best I've seen in a while. If you know of an attribution, please let me know, thanks.
