Hi Elizabeth, I know getting started can seem overwhelming! I know getting started can be overwhelming! I wrote a book called Homeschooling 101 that will help answer all of your questions on how to get started homeschooling, choosing curriculum, creating lesson plans, etc.

And I just released a new eCourse on running and organizing your homeschool household:

>
> Discover How To Organize Your Homeschool - Let me show you how to blend flexibility with structure so you can have your BEST HOMESCHOOLING year yet!

And I have a getting started series that might help as well:  
[http://www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/blog/category/homeschooling-101](http://www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/blog/category/homeschooling-101)

And a Tip Tuesday video series as well that covers specific topics related to homeschooling::

And I also have a “help by grade level” page that might also help you get started researching curriculum:

> **[Help by Grade Level - Confessions of a Homeschooler](https://www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/help-by-grade-level)**
>
> Looking for information for a specific GRADE level? Click here to get help with curriculum, schedules, lesson plans and more!

I think when getting started, I definitely tried to stick with things that made me feel more comfortable. We started with Abeka just because it was familiar and more “school” like, then we started changing out things as I got a better feel for what we liked/didn’t like.  
I hope that helps some, feel free to email me as well if you have specific questions and I’ll do my best to help!  
Erica
