Hi Tawny! :D Thanks for sharing about the placement chart - that helps so much! :) In reading through all of this, and in thinking it over, one thing keeps coming to mind. It is a Bible verse actually... And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been call...

It matters where they place according to the placement chart. I have a few ideas that may help. But first, can you share about each of them please, in regard to the first page of the placement chart? That would help! Thanks! In Christ, Julie Hi Julie! According to the first page of the placement ch...

We've moved 3 times in the last three years, so I can relate to your situation!! For a few seasons, I was just doing the 3 Rs and reading Bible stories and a good read aloud daily, all cuddled up with a boy on either side of me, and those are treasured times!! We did this almost all last year while...

Tammy, In reading through your post, I was thinking that since you commented that lots of things were skipped this past year when your son did LHFHG that it may be possible for both he and your daughter to be combined in LHFHG for the left side of the plans and story time from the right side of LHF...

Thank you!

God bless ya! Dh bought a travel trailer last year, so I know the space you are talking about and lacking. Plus we have renovated our home for the last 20 years. Ripped dh's grandfather's house down to the studs and redid it all ourselves. I also understand the huge undertaking. Keep you eye on the...

I would do Beyond with your 7 yo and just the 3 R's with the 5 yo. Then start the younger in Little Hearts when you are settled in your home. You don't have to wait until the next school year, unless you just really want to do that. Even if you waited it would be fine. Then it would be nice to have...

I need help. I have already purchased our guides for the year. I was going to place DS1 (7yo) in Beyond (he's completed LHFHG) and place DS2 (5.5 yo) in LHFHG for his K year. Living circumstances have not changed and we will continue living in a fifth wheel for the remainder of the year while buildi...

I need some help. I struggle with this parenting gig, lol. My 5yo refuses to help out with anything. He is a day dreamer with a wild imagination. He would rather sit in time out then help fold laundry or help the family. He whines and complains. When he does do something that I ask him to do he take...

Where can I get reliable information about the common core? I had no idea!

I agree with bethelmommy. Also, if it were me I would choose LHTH (choice #3). LHTH has the basics, is gentle, quick to accomplish during the day, super short lessons, and if you felt like you wanted to add math or writing it would be really easy to do. If your daughter is hesitant to do school LHTH...

Yay! Isn't it exciting we just received Beyond today and the extras for Little Hearts for our upcoming K'er. Can't wait to start but it's going to be a couple months yet. We are finishing LHFHG and LHTH. Have a blessed year!

That my kids will end up finishing high school early if we continue on with HOD (which we love!). It's like they will be missing a year with the way the guides are set up. Can someone explain how this works? Do the guides take longer than a year to complete? I just purchased Beyond to use as our 1st...

Oooo, thank you for asking this! I just ordered what we needed Stoked!

Great! Thank you. I want to add in a nature notebook every year for the boys. We are outside a lot and I don't think a short sketch or study would take more than a few minutes. Foreign Language is something I definitely want to start before high school. I struggled in high school w/foreign language ...
