I'm hoping for some direction from those who have been there...I am a mom of three, grades for next year K, 3rd, and 5th. I also run a licensed home bakery business (wedding and special events cakes) that keeps me really busy in the afternoons and most especially on Thursdays and Fridays.
I've been using MFW for the last several years, but last year about halfway through, we just..well, gave up. We were so, so, so tired of learning even more about Eygpt. The kids were bored, I was bored, we needed a change. From Christmas on, we started using Amanda Bennet unit studies. Which I still enjoy, and I think we will continue to use them occasionally as a routine break, but I'm still drawn to the open and go, all in one curricula. SO after getting bored with the pace of MFW, I started looking into HOD a few weeks ago.
So far I have purchased the LHFHG for my K'er. It looks like the perfect program for her. (She will be 6 in November. We tried using MFW K last year for her, but it was obvious really quickly that she wasn't ready for formal lessons.)
Now, my concern is twofold: as of now, I'm leaning toward getting Preparing for my almost 8ds with extensions for my 10dd. It seems to be the best fit for them, and I like the idea of a sweep through history.
My question begins with how to go forward from this in following years? I don't see an issue with doing two programs this year, since the LHFHG won't take too long every day. But as she gets older, she is out of the range that the older two can fit into together, so it looks like I will always be needing to do at least two programs (and three, once my oldest is in the HS level). And that's a serious concern. There is no way I can do school for more than half a day, as my afternoons (and Fridays) are already maxed out with my cake business.
This was the most compelling reason for me when going with MFW - after the 1st grade year, all the kids are together until HS, and then the HS level work is mostly independent. But, as much as I REALLY wanted to love it, we just ... don't.

Am I setting myself up for failure by considering HOD? Is there anyone else on here who has multiple children/levels and who is a WAHM?
It would be really helpful to me if HOD was going to be at the Ohio convention I'm going to in a week, so I could see the material other than the first day, but they aren't going to be at CHEO and from what I've read, HOD isn't distributed by anyone else either, so if I go with HOD it's going to be completely on faith and the recommendations of others. I've already gone ahead with getting LH, but I'm mostly concerned with looking past next year into coming years. I don't want to keep jumping around through curricula.

Comments?
Thank you!
