Today, we have a lot of big news to cover! We’ve been hard at work looking at ways to make our guides even better. Over the next few weeks, we will announce new Heart of Dakota selections, which will be available during our Spring Sale. (On that note, an announcement for the sale dates will be coming via

For now, I will just say we felt it was time for a change. New writing resources that are excellent became available, and Carrie loved them! Families using Writing and Rhetoric in CTC (which was the first change Carrie made) loved that change. As far as MTMM, we loved the idea of a boy and a girl option, as teens tend to enjoy writing about topics they can best relate to, and boys and girls are often quite different in that regard! Also, Carrie just immediately loved Writer's Gold Mine and Writer's Roundup. Something totally new that was done well! Here is a link to another post I just made explaining the other guides' writing changes...
