Just a quick update...received my guide today. It is gorgeous!

I'm not a "regular" here, but I want to encourage you and tell you what a good mama you are! You are being God's arms wrapped around your dear girl.

Thanks, Dear! Will do.

Just a quick question to those of you using the new World History guide...have you all received your guides yet? The last weekly units I have are Units 26-27, and I was just wondering if the guides were supposed to be delivered to everyone already.

Thanks so much!

WhooHoo!

Carrie, you are a wonder! I simply want to say that I am so grateful and that my prayers for you, and the whole HOD family, will continue.

You ROCK!

I am excited for you guys! That picture of him with the grammar book is the most darling thing I've ever seen!

Have a great time with all those great books!

I'll be a newbie to HOD, too, next school year :D Your story was so touching and inspirational, really. I had one of those "teary eyed" moments about 2 years ago when I made the vow then and there to be intentional with my children--intentionally present, intentionally honoring who they are, and int...

Christine, the narrations are definitely a "good" thing, and a skill to be worked at and attained :) But do keep in mind the "best" things that you and ds can achieve with God's help in HOD. Peace, and have a fantastic year growing together in knowledge and understanding 8) You don't have to start ...

It's so good to hear your experience with WH, Julie . I really can't wait to get started! :D I was really concerned about Biology, but I think ACE will be an answer to prayer for us. My son is much more interested in Physical Science and has just picked up an electronics kit to tinker with. He REALL...

I just want to thank you for these posts. They are an incredible encouragement for someone who will be using HOD for the first time in the fall, one being the WH guide. I tend to doubt and second-guess my choices so much, and if I posted every single question I have on this board I would have about ...

That's quite a wonderful endorsement :D I do appreciate it, Jennymommy, so much. Actually, "peace" sounds like such a blessing. I don't really have anyone to bounce homeschool ideas/research off of as my husband is completely hands (and ears) off :( That's why the support and information and kindhea...

Just wanted to pop in here really quickly and say that I went ahead and ordered the history/Bible portion of the World History year (will order the rest probably next month, trying not to tax the pocket book all at once :) ). I am really looking forward to using HOD with both of my kiddos! We're usi...

You Dear Lady, I am so, so sorry for your loss and the grief that you are bearing in your heart. You're such a good mama to try to be strong for your children, but you don't have to be strong all the time. When they see you reach out to others for help, they'll see such a good roll model. Especially...

You're right, Nealewill...those are very good points! I think I am really at peace with the decision to go forward with HOD World History for the 2015-2016 school year. You all are so welcoming and encouraging here...it's like a warm hug! :D Thank you for your time and advice. <3 It really is apprec...

I was hoping you might think he was ready for World History via HOD (I was really scratching my brain trying to figure out how to make the lower guides work...books look amazing, but I'm not sure I know how to ramp those up being so new to HOD). Looking at the chart, the only sticking point is writi...
