Hi Amy,
I Know the other ladies did a great job of sharing their thoughts on Singapore but I just wanted to add our experience this year as well:-)
We are using it for the first time and really enjoying it! i am using the Level 2A and B for my 4th grader and like others said, I'm not concerned about ...

Hello!
Okay,i know I am jumping ahead.........BUT, we are currently using Beyond along with Bigger's Cheerful cursive, English and Math,, so i am wondering what we should do for next year when both of my dc will be in Bigger together. They will have completed cheerful cursive but I'm sure they will ...

Hi there:-)
i just wanted to say that we are loving the Rod and Staff English. This was a HuGE change for us this year because my kids were used to the Abeka language arts type worktexts, that were filled with color, puzzles, etc. But, we became soooooo burned out on those last year. This year ...

Dear Joy,
I agonized over the same thing before we began using HOD this Sept. We are currently using Beyond with my 8 and 6 yr. old. We love it!!!! What I did though, was purchase the Bigger guide too, since i knew we would be using it next year, and we use Beyond for Bible, History, copywork, Art ...

Hi Everyone,
I just had to write in and let you all know that our school week is going GREAT so far!!! My 8 yr old and 6 yr old are really enjoying Beyond. We are also doing DITHOR with both of them and Cheerful Cursive with both as well. We also use the Bigger guide for my 8 yr old's English , and ...

Just a note about high blood pressure and weight: I was only about 118 lbs when i was diagnosed and I'm 5' 5 and 1/2 ", so being thin does not neccasarily make it go away, but I'm sure eating healthier can!:-)
Love in Christ,
Angie

Dear Mary,
I'm sorry to hear that, but that is what I suspected:-( I was also diagnosed with HBP about 2 yrs ago, and my Doc insisted i get on medication, which I finally did, but weaned myself off of it. I haven't checked mine lately.....i know...not smart, but .....I feel good?
i'm trying to do it ...

Hi Mary:-)
I love your blog!!! Thank you for sharing your goals with all of us. You truly are inspiring! I'm also keeping you in prayer for your health scare, but I'm so glad you had a wonderful time on the Riverboat!! I wish I could do that. How wonderful to be able to fellowship with friends and ...

Praying for you Kathleen:-)
Also praying for you Mary........How are you feeling? God bless you sweet ladies and keep you in His loving care<><
In Christ,
Angie

Thank you Ladies:-)
That really does help. I know that we usually start with Bible and the 3 R's too, but then in the past, I would be too burnt out for the fun stuff so it would often get skipped!!:-( That's why I'm afraid to do ALL of the basics first.
I may have to start with the left side and ...

H Everyone:-)
I received my Beyond Little Hearts For His Glory Manual...YEAY!! I am just loving pouring over it and now I'm excited to start! Thank you Carrie for the quick shipment:-) I don't think I want to wait until end of August :)
I am just wondering if everyone follows the order of the boxes ...

Thank you Carrie:-) iIappreciate you taking the time to try and answer everyone's questions. You are so sweet about that.
That sounds logical and the idea of my older child eventually working more independently sounds really good:-)I just know my dd will want to participate in the kick off ...

Hi everyone,
I ordered my DITHOR today as well as Beyond the other day, so as you can imagine, I am besides myself with excitement to get my hands on these and look over everything and begin planning books, etc. :lol:
But, i have been thinking and reading over the archive posts for DITHOR and Julie ...

Dear Julie,
Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and wisdom with me:-) I do think you're right to save the books to be read in the HOD schedule as 'Treasures.'
I am planning to buy both the girl set of books and the boy set of books for storytime, plus the emerging readers and Drawn level 2 ...

Dear Mary,
Thank you for your sweet message:-)
Warm, squishy hugs back to you!! Have a wonderful time at your friends river house!! How fun! I can't wait to get started with HOD. I am slowly ordering and peicing it together as we can afford it:-) I look forward to encouraging one another and ...
