I'm so grateful for the Spring Sale!! Just ordered World History and Preparing- we're super excited to get started in August!

Congratulations!! It’s so exciting to see kiddos moving on to the next phase of life. What a big accomplishment! Good job, mama!

Okay- I appreciate your response! That way I’m not waiting to order hoping it will be available in color anytime soon. No worries!

I find that a typed out schedule simply listing the order of boxes I'd like them to work through is helpful also, until they each reach a point of just knowing what to do next. At one point, I found us in the same situation (although not in CTC) and it was extremely helpful to keep everyone on trac...

Has anyone heard if/when there will be a color update for the Beyond Little Hearts guide? If one is due to come out later this year I’d love to know! Thanks!

I would definitely be interested in posting and participating regularly! We won’t be starting up until August for high school with my (soon to be) 16yo though. But I’m excited to be coming back to HOD!!

Only chiming in to say, after reading through this I probably should call HOD before ordering WH for my upcoming 10th grader! Keep us posted about what you decide to do with your 8th grader!

Thanks for your thoughtful reply, Rice! I can see my older daughter moving slower through guides so maybe they’ll only be sharing for one year anyway. I could start out with one and buy an extra if we run into hiccups I suppose.

When you have 2 kiddos in the same Guide, do you purchase a separate Guide for each to have a place to check off what they’ve done? What has worked for your family? I’m leaning towards waiting until the following school year to start HOD with my girls because I’m planning on starting WH High School ...

Thank you so much for all of the helpful tips, Julie and Carrie! We’re praying about what to use for the coming school year!

Thank you for your suggestion, Stephanie! I think that may work for us!

I am considering using Preparing for my 9 & 11yo this fall (they will be 10 & 12 by August). My 7yo would place perfectly in Beyond. I’ve previously used LHTH-Bigger with older kiddos. While these guides are great fits for my daughters, we’ve been using curricula the past couple years that have had ...

Thank you Julie! I'll add R&S 2 when I place my order this spring/summer!

My dd will turn 8 at the end of June and we're planning to start Beyond in August. Her sister will be 6 in April and I'd like to keep them together. I did check the placement chart and they should place in Beyond nicely (I've previously used it with my 11yo). I know Bigger would be way too much writ...

Thank you- that's very helpful info!
