Eclectic homeschooling
Eclectic homeschooling means mixing methods and materials from different approaches, choosing what works for each child and subject.
A family might use a structured math program, Charlotte Mason style read-alouds for history, a unit study for science and an online class for a language. Many homeschool families describe themselves this way.
For the record you keep
Mixed sources make one consistent record more useful, not less: the same subject names and areas across every resource keep the reports readable.
One record for any method
Lessons, the learning log and work samples all count toward attendance, hours and the year-end packet.
