Yay!!!! I Placed My Order (Intro)
Hi everyone,
My name is Jennifer. I have 5 kiddos: ds 11, ds 9, dd 6, ds 3 & ds 8 months. I am so excited to have found HOD. My older two are going to be using PLHFHG and my dd will be using LHFHG.
I placed my order on yesterday afternoon . Carrie was so helpful in helping me to decide on the best programs for my children.
I am looking forward to being a part of your HOD community. We are all looking forward to getting our box in; it's going to be like Christmas!!!
Blessings,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer and welcome! I am a mom of many as well. You are going to love HOD! The programs are wonderful and your kids are going to love them. This is also a wonderful group of people on the board. We are happy to have you here. Let us know when you get your box and have your first day. Hopefully you will find the same thing I did, it was love at first use. Our first day went great and we have honestly never had a bad HOD day. You will love it too and welcome!

Re: Yay!!!! I Placed My Order (Intro)
Welcome! As the other ladies have said you will love HOD! It is God honoring, efficient and truly fun. I work a full time job, so efficiency was high my priority list but I didn't at the time how much fun we would have with it. My dd is learning, by leaps and bounds, not only the 3 R's but also how to love the LOrd an how He loves her. May God BLess you and your family.

Welcome Jennifer! We are using BHFHG with my son who is 9. You will love HOD. We sure do and I sure wish I had started with HOD from the beginning. My life would have been easier I do believe.

Oh Jennifer,
Your life is about to change! This program is the vehicle that will help you make those forever memories with your children. Take lots of pictures and hold onto your memories! I am so glad you are here and I can't wait to hear all about your BOX DAY! Try not to tackle or hurt the UPS guy as it might give HOD a bad name. Let him set the boxes down and step away....,

Welcome, Jennifer!
How nice it is to meet another mom of many. I smiled when I saw your post because I have a 10 dd, 9 ds, 7 ds, 4 ds, and a 9mo old dd. Very close to the ages of your children. I know how busy that can be. I look forward to hearing how HOD works for you. It will still be busy, but it helps me feel confident that I am covering everything.
Look forward to getting to know you in the coming school year. I, too, am curious to know if you are new to homeschooling or new to this curriculum. FYI - I did 4 wks of school before I decided to use HOD, so we have only done 5 units. But we are loving it.
Have a great day!
In His love,
RuthAnn

Re: Yay!!!! I Placed My Order (Intro)
Jennifer,
So glad you're here and have found HOD. I believe you will love the program(s). We have used Beyond (last year) and are using Bigger...and Little Hands...this year. My kids have fun with their learning, and I learn a lot too. And the people here on the boards are so vey helpful. Please let us know how you first day/week goes, and be sure to ask questions as you have them because we all love to offer help.
I wish I was having another box day...have to wait 'til spring or summer.

Re: Yay!!!! I Placed My Order (Intro)
Thank you all so much for the WARM WELCOME.
We did home school in the early years, but my older 2 attended school for a little over 2 years. My dd started K last August, but we pulled all of the children out of school in Nov. We were expecting a baby and I really wanted to be home with my then 2 year old and the new baby. So, I quit working and we brought everyone home.
When we brought them home, I just continued with the A Beka and Bob Jones curriculum for the remainder of the school year.
I knew that I wanted something different for this school year so I began searching and narrowed it down to HOD, MFW, & SL.
Well we couldn't afford any of them at the time, so I was going to try to aquire a little at a time using resources, readers, etc.. from the catalogs. I did purchase their Lang.(R&S and Easy Grammar) and Math(Saxon) . Needless to say, with 5 kiddos, I didn't have time for the planning. Everyday seemed frustrating and overwhelming. I began to pray for God to show me how to make this work. We didn't have the money to buy all of the resources and consistently going to the libray was a challenge.
Well, to make a long story short, through a series of unexpexted events, we were blessed with a financial blessing that would enable us to purchase curriculum. Now I had to decide on which curriculum to order. I had actually weeded out Sonlight because we need the hands on activities. So it was now HOD or MFW. I was torn as these are both wonderful programs. I poured over reviews and catalogs over and over. Finally I decided on MFW---but I kept feeling like I needed to take another look at HOD. Two nights in a row my dh came home and asked if I had placed my order and I said no, "I'm just not sure if that's the one we need to go with." They next day I called HOD and Carrie spoke with me for a whole HOUR! She took the time to help me figure out what would work for my dc. Now I have to say that I spoke to several diff. home school suppliers and HOD's customer service is second to NONE I hung up the phone with confidence. When dh came home I showed him the catalog and he was sold. I placed my order the very next day.
I told my husband that I'm not even going to second guess my decision because both choices were bible based and I can't ruin my children with God's word Either way we are putting God first in our home school, it just seems like HOD will be a better fit for me and my dc. We needed to be able to group some of them together but not leave the younger one behind or the older one bored. with the HOD extensions we can easily group the boys together.
I do apologize for writing a novel--lol
God Bless,
Jennifer

I am always so amazed at the outpouring of love from the ladies on the board to each and every new person that posts! You can just see Christ's love shining through all of them!
We'll be looking forward to your BOX DAY too! We're glad you're here!

Wow Jennifer, I loved your "novel" it is so exciting to see how God is working in people's lives. Isn't that beautiful how Carrie spent so much time with you. I love how you said you got off the phone feeling so confident. I believe that is half the battle won, feeling confident, and being able to trust that God's word will do beautiful things in the lives of our familes.
Thanks for sharing
