Would you share with me what your favorite guide is/was? If you had it to do all over again and cold only pick one, which one would it be? I am asking for no pictuclaur reason other than just for fun to know. Thanks!

Oooh fun! :lol: So far we've been through BLHFHG, BHFHG, PHFHG, & CtC and I'd have to say that CtC is my personal favorite so far. It has been sooo interesting! Especially the book "Genesis Finding Our Roots". Preparing was pretty amazing too, but CtC is even better in my book! :D

Gosh, that's like choosing a favorite child! LOL! No, but I guess I'd have to choose Preparing thus far. Grandpa's box was SO FANTASTIC! I loved the world sweep of Preparing. Beyond is adorable too.

We have done Bigger, Preparing (now on my second go round), Res. to Ref. (halfway through), Revival to Revolution and Mission to Modern Marvels (halfway through). I think Preparing has been a favorite for us. I love how my kids start making the transition into doing more on their own. My 10 yo gets excited that he can accomplish the "I" boxes all by himself! Truly we love them all. I think I am going to really love the World Geography guide, so next year I may have a new favorite!!

We started our HOD journey with Preparing with the oldest. That is my favorite guide, so far. Its more teacher-intensive than the later guides, so I got to learn along with my son. I can't wait to do Preparing with my little guys. :D
