I just had to thank you Carrie (Julie, Michael, and everyone else who contributed) for producing this *amazing* new World Geography program! If you could have seen our youngest daughter...the one who rarely shows her emotions...carry in 50 pounds of book boxes from the front porch, carefully cut the...

Hugs to you. I hear your pain and frustration. My thought was to really consider if the math, science, and grammar programs your dd is using are the very best *for her*. Maybe her learning style would make another type of program more enjoyable and successful. I've changed maths again and again to f...

Hello. Long story short...I had purchased this program for my 2 daughters last year, and although I thought it was beautiful in every way, my younger dd10 was simply not yet up to the task (she has learning disabilities). I returned it for a refund but the post office lost it in shipment and it neve...

My thinking is that since R&S grammar is advanced and, IMO, rigorous, it is better to go more slowly and allow the student to *know* the material and not just *cover* the material. Doing it several times a week instead of daily also allows time for the writing program to be done twice a week.

We just got some goodies from Miller P&P at a fair. I found a set of 18 watercolor paint tubes. I believe all the colors needed were represented, although not every one was the specific shade, but close enough. They did have beautiful Prang watercolor sets of the little semi-moist paint cakes, but m...

Hello. I just purchased CtoC for my younger two daughters, and I plan to read the history stories aloud so that *I* can hear them, too. :) Then they can do the timeline work, etc. independently while I do a few little things around the house or work with my older daughter. I also plan to listen to t...

Perhaps some of the suggestions on the Flylady website would help you get into a simple routine. I also recommend her book Sink Reflections...it describes her philosophy and the need for simple, doable routines in our homes and in our lives. The website has all the tips for organizing, encouragement...

Many, many thanks! Extremely helpful! Blessings~

Greetings. We are planning to use Creation to Christ this fall with our younger daughters. After pouring over the online samples, the only area of concern in the spelling. We have not used dictation for spelling before, even though we have done HOD. I used the spelling programs that had worked well ...

Ginger, We are looking forward to Winston-Salem too! Yes, we will have books available for purchase, as well as having a display copy of EACH AND EVERY BOOK that is available in our catalog at the convention for you to look over! :D See you there! Blessings, Carrie Do you hear me squealing?? :D I h...

Thank you, Patty! I just love being able to bring home some books, after pouring over catalogs for months. I am getting my U-Haul ready for shopping LOL.

Greetings. I am so excited about attending the conference. Will the HOD booth have packages and books available for purchase, or just packages to look at? Thanks!

Hi Daisy. Yes, the units are each a week long. Please ask if you have further questions.

Greetings Rebecca. I'll jump in here and sing praises for the poetry in Bigger! I remember week 8 vividly, since that was the week my husband lost his job unexpectedly. We were reading it through for the 3rd time that Wednesday when our family life was forever changed. Now of course the Lord changed...
