Okay...I'll really try not to frequent this board with more prayer requests regarding my pregnancy, outside of this one. :wink: But, today we set the date for our c-section for Sept. 23rd. Would you please pray that we are able to make it to our planned date? I really have no family around that is a...

Thanks for the prayers, gals! :) My face is already so much better within a week. My hearing has been affected a bit, meaning REALLY loud in one ear when the kids yell. I have 5 kids, going on 6. :lol: You can imagine. One of my eyes has a slight constant twitch too. But, no one really notices that ...

This doesn't exactly pertain to our homeschooling, but it does affect it. I am experiencing some inconvenient stuff going along with my pregnancy. Pretty bad carpal and tarsal tunnel, and now I have Bell's Pulsy affecting the left side of my face. I am on my third day of steriods. So far, that's goi...

I am just wondering...my just turned 7 year old is reading well. We started out with Alphphonics...that worked great. But, should I even be considering say...R&S English or Grammar for my son?

Speed-clean! Kidding...but I think it's a good idea. They love to clean.

I was just thinking this morning that it might be nice to introduce myself a little more in detail. I'd love to hear a bit more about others as well. Anyway, my oldest daughter is 8.5, and has a rare genetic disorder called 4p- or Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. Didn't know if she would ever walk, but at ...

Thanks again for the encouragement!

well...thank you, Jess. :) What a pathetic afternoon I've had. :roll: Right before I sat down with my 7 (birthday on Sat!) and 5 year old to read some wonderful books, I *really* shut my thumb in a door. I cried like a baby, but then gathered myself to do some school with my kids. (Sigh)...anyway, y...

Hi! We just started BLHFHG a while back. I love it and my kids really seem to be enjoying it too. I know that I am in a unique situation with my family in that my oldest, not even quite 9 has profound special needs. I am her primary caregiver and for many reasons, she has been very needy lately. The...

Last week, we had a not-so-good day of homeschooling. I really wondered if my kids got anything out of that day. We use BLHFHG. Love it! They day was bad because of the kids! :wink: Anyway, last week on our challenging day, we learned about 'run-on' sentences. My thought that day was that my kids pr...

Just wanted to hop on and say that I've been doing Beyond Little Hearts with my 6.5 year old (and 5 year old sitting in), for over a week. It's wonderful. We've had absolutely no problem getting into it. We school year round, so I can be a bit more relaxed. I am trying to alternate things each day w...

I have whole-heartedly agree that in this season of my life...evangelizing, discipling and homeschooling my children is one of my top ministries. My main ministry really...outside of my marriage. Though, my husband does not like me to refer to him as a "ministry." :lol: And...I admit that I need to ...

We school year round. I have some children with special needs, and we miss a lot of school time for various therapies and Doctor appointments. So, we do school every day that we can to make up for the days when formal schooling is not possible. Also...my kids are SO disappointed on days when we don...

Will I get a new catalog if I am expecting new cirriculum to arrive within a week? Or do I need to order the new catalog?

Hi! My name is Jen, and I just ordered BLHFG for my 6.5 year old and my 5 year old will certainly be sitting in :wink: I have been homeschooling for 2 years and researching it for much, much longer! :lol: I have 5 kids, ages 8 girl (special needs), 6.5 boy, 5 girl, 3.5 boy, 2 girl, and baby girl due...
