Day one is done! We only did Bigger today because I'm still waiting on a couple of books to get here for the littles, but my oldest dd did ALL her work in less than 2 hours. This is a RECORD for us! I AM THRILLED! She did most of it self-directed, with me just needing to help in the places that woul...

My3sons - ROFL!!!!!!!! An Olibet?!!!! That would describe me perfectly I think :) I am prepared for it not to be perfect (although my first tendency is to assume just that!), but truly, I am thrilled to just be ready to get going, and it does look so manageable. My oldest can hardly wait to start, a...

Woo Hoo!

We haven't "met" yet, but I had to smile when I saw that you have 6 boys...I have 6 girls! Well, and now one son also, but it isn't often that I meet another mom with "6 in a row" like us.

Congrats again!

Thank you SO much for posting this! I am desperate to find some kind of way to get my house in order and stay on track. This looks like it should work great and, just like HOD, doesn't look like much I need to do each day (I get overwhelmed too easily these days!).

Thanks Candice - I am a Betty through and through - I just posted a reply on that thread because it felt like I had written some of the posts! Finally, I've found a place where I don't feel like I'm the only one like me :lol: I am going to have to share this with a friend of mine who also has a larg...

Water2Wine said: I am always in the middle of five things and trying to figure out where I left off with the other one. HOD clears my thoughts so I can actually think five things at once (because there is not stopping that) but at the end of the day I actually accomplished something with a clear pur...

I'm so happy I can hardly stand it! Who knew that getting curriculum in could be so much fun! My oldest dd, who will be doing Bigger, wanted to read every book we got, tonight! She was flipping through and looking at titles and exclaiming, COOL! We only got the economy package so I could afford to g...

Yeah! I'm glad I'm not the only one! I am really excited to get started, which is a change from the stress of the past few months - thank you Carrie for this curriculum! Since Zack, our newest blessing, was born, I have felt like I just can't do this. I truly appreciate you and thank you from the bo...

Sonja, I haven't even used this curriculum yet (excitedly awaiting the package price changes on Monday so I can order!), but I did want to come on here and just offer you encouragement. Our son had ADHD and Bipolar disorder, and while I'm not sure where your son is at behaviorally, I will hazard a g...

That is perfect - thanks!

I guess that shows how much I DON'T know about what I'll be doing!!! Thanks for the encouragement - I think I just need to get it and get started and quit stressing. I don't usually stress about stuff, but for whatever reason this is the thing that is doing it. I think because I am so frustrated wit...

As I was reading through all of the information, it occurs to me that I am not sure what I am going to do after we finish this first pass through LHFHG and Bigger. I think it will be awkward to have one child doing Preparing (world history) and 3 children doing Beyond (American history). Does anyone...

Thanks Carrie, and thank you for your input. I am getting excited to actually have a curriculum that we can finish in a day! My 4th grader loves to read, so I thought I would do some with the group as read aloud and some she can do on her own. If they seem to difficult for her, we can use them as a ...

Ok, here is what I have picked, pending package discounts coming soon. If there is someone who wouldn't mind looking it over and telling me if I've either left something off or duplicated something, I would appreciate it! I already have math for my 4th grader and DITHR manual/workbooks that I found ...

Ok, I'm confused again! I went in to look for a few things and I can't find them: "Choosing The Do it Carefully for my kindergardener and I add an extra Thinking Skills to my cart for the first grader. " Where are these at? And am I correct that if I order the Basic package for first grade, it inclu...
