Carrie,
I wanted to simply say you have an extraordinary gift and how grateful I am that you have chosen to share it through HOD. Each day that I crack open an HOD guide I find myself thinking of you and your family and the children you used to teach in a classroom setting. Indeed, your ability for finding a common theme and identifying a teachable moment are exceptional. The manner in which you have laid out the guides and the sense of order combined with ease of use is a true marvel. Although, we still have a ways to go in truly gleaning all that we can from our guides, I know without a doubt that any time spent on lessons is worthwhile. There's no twaddle here, only rich experiences for learning, thinking, talking. So, thank you to you and your husband and children for somehow carving out the time to make HOD happen not just for you, but for all of us.

I completely agree!
I am in shock that I am so SATISFIED with everything HOD has to offer! My dc are too. We are learning & enjoying each other as we go about our day with HOD. My box checking tendencies are satisfied to boot!
I have NO desire to look anywhere else for our curriculum.
Thank you Carrie & thank your beautiful family as well!
God Bless!!

Oh Ladies! You've got me all teared-up at the computer, and I am not a teary sort of person!
Our writing and our business are both sustained through prayer. We hold fast to the Lord and pray for Him to show us what to write and how to put it together. I am so thankful that the Lord is good at taking my less than perfect life and using it for His glory. He somehow takes all of my teaching experiences and molds them into what He desires in our guides. I covet your prayers, and I'm so thankful that HOD is helping your families in some small way to glorify the Lord even more.
Thank you all for sharing on this thread, as I store these posts away in my heart like a treasure for times when the going isn't so smooth. I am blessed and encouraged by each one of you today!
Blessings,
Carrie
