Because of finances...could I buy The Economy Package and The Science Adder in Bigger Hearts ($150) and go ahead and start with my two children ages 8 and 10? I could purchase the rest in January. (The DITHOR book and book pack, also the storytime readers and the extension pack for ds10) I thought I could use my own books till then, or the library. We already have our Math (CLE) English (R&S and Easy Grammar) and Handwriting (Italic C and D)
I just would like to go ahead and start. We are expecting baby #7 at the end of February.
Or do you think it would be best to just wait and get it all at one time and start in January.

I just ordered LHFHG for my 5 yo and should be getting it next week. I'm excited about switching all of my children over to HOD.


I also have plans to get Resurrection to Reformation for my 13 and 14 year old in Januray.

A lot of people wait a bit to start DITHOR anyway, so that's not a big deal. As for storytime, you don't have to buy the packs; just find books of the appropriate genre at the library (or your own shelves). We do not buy the storytime packs because I already own lots and lots of books that are suitable.

I think starting now is a great idea. That will give you time to get used to the program before you add your olders' program in January. Plus that will have you into a routine well before it's time to have your baby.

I agree... We are also using Bigger this year, and I did purchase the book pack, but we are doing the Emerging Readers Set.

You can definitely do this! It is exactly why HOD has resources placed in packages. It sounds like you have a good plan for getting the packages in place.

In Christ,
