I just got mine today and I have been pouring over it for the last hour! Oh, it looks so awesome!!! The notebook pages are just beautiful, LOVE the maps! The TM is just so complete. The appendix has detailed descriptions on how to do narrations, both oral and written which is so helpful. We are doin...

Hi Chandler and welcome! I am new to HOD too, I think there are lots of us newbies, how fun!

I look forward to hearing how things are going for you this year. We are also doing CTC and BLHFHG (along with LHTH ). We will have to take notes!

We are too and I can't wait! My 12 yo dd will be doing it for 7th grade. Waiting anxiously for the TM and student notebook pages! Since I live in South Dakota (other side of the state from Carrie) I should get it pretty quick.! We won't be starting til Aug. 31. Looking forward to hearing how you all...

Hi and welcome Larissa! :D I am new to HOD as well. We will be starting CTC, Beyond, and LHTH on Aug. 31. I also have a 7 yo ds who has lost the joy of learning and am praying that doing Beyond with him will bring back some joy. My heart just broke every day when he would say "I hate school!" It als...

Hi Liz, No advice, just wanted you to know that we are in the same boat with you with 12 yo dd doing CTC this year, 7 yo ds doing Beyond, and a 4 yo ds doing LHTH and a 1 yo toddling around! :D We are going to do HOD for the first time and I am so excited, but also a bit overwhelmed. I also want to ...

Oooh, I am getting more excited! I plan on finally placing my order in a day or two, and I know my dd will just love CTC!
Can't wait!

Hi Rebecca, Congratulations! I'm so happy to hear you are expecting! :D I remember when you had your miscarriage and I prayed for you and your family. I had a miscarriage a few years back, and it was a painful experience to lose a little one. My heart goes out to you as I know the healing takes a wh...

Thanks Daisy, I like your idea of writing down what needs to be done on a white board, assigning daily jobs from the list, and checking to make sure it all gets done. Whenever I have daily chores for them to do, I get groans and complaints and battles from the 7 yo, the others are fine with doing wh...

I am praising God for this wonderful answer to prayer!
Blessings to you!

Hi Ladies! I haven't posted in a while, but I have been learning so much from you all! Such good posts! I had to print off the schedules post as I am trying to get my schedule figured out for this next fall. Last year's schedule worked pretty well, but what I struggle with is how to fit in the daily...

Oh Val, I totally agree! My brother died at the age of 12, and my died died at the age of 39, so I have had some experience first hand at seeing how short and precious life is. I so appreciate your great reminders though, as I am looking at my messy house right now getting pretty irritated! The mess...

Amey,

I am praying!!!!

Thank you Carol for your words of encouragement! I am a bit nervous doing 3 programs next year, so it is good to know someone else doing the same with positive results :D My 7 yo dreads school everyday which saddens my heart, and it is my prayer that he will really enjoy Beyond. My almost 4 yo just ...

Thanks everyone for the great input and links, that helped a lot!

Now that I know a little better what it covers, it looks like I could easily add in some literature like FIAR or something like that.

Thanks again, you ladies are all so great!
Shelly

Well, I am pretty sure that I am going to get Beyond for my 7 yo and CTC for my 12 yo, and I thought I was going to do LHTH for my almost 4 yo, but I still have some reservations. The descriptions in the catalog and online don't really give me a feel for all that it covers. Does it just cover Bible ...
