I just wanted to get some opinions on which direction to go with HOD and my daughter, who will be 5 in January.
I am not stressing about this since my daughter is so young, but it has been on my mind lately and I thought I would put it out there for you ladies to comment.
Some background...We began and used LHTH when my dd was about 3.5-4.5 years old. I sort of hopped around with the program, dabbled in other stuff and ultimately never finished the program. Bottom line, it was not utilized as intended by the author (Hi Carrie
), so I know we missed out on really benefiting from LHTH and just letting it unfold naturally to teach my daughter some really wonderful stuff. The portion that we did complete was very enjoyable, and by far, a favorite for my daughter. Without a doubt she loves LHTH.Since this past Aug/Sep I decided to begin LHFHG as I felt my dd was ready to move forward with phonics, math, etc.
For the most part, LHFHG has been a really good fit in all areas, with the history and devotional reading being a bit of a stretch for her. She enjoys the program and is eager to learn, and to ask and answer any questions with the material.
Anyway, what I am considering is putting LHFHG aside until some time next Fall and re-starting LHTH. I would begin LHTH in January, perhaps 2 pages a day, and add in LA and math at her level. I would add in The Reading Lesson (we have done about 1/3 of the book already) and the Singapore EB Math. I would also add in the CLP K science text that is written into LHFHG. Basically, I would do LHTH and add in the K level material from LHFHG.
After LHTH is completed, we could move on to LHFHG and do all of the 1st grade level material that is written into LHFHG.
I feel like I have finally come to a place in my homeschool where I realize the importance of teaching God's Word and godly character before anything else. I now know that the foundation has to come first. I realize that just a year ago, I was so concerned and consumed with finding the so called perfect curriculum and materials. I wasted so much energy, time, and money doing so. I know now, without a doubt, that we will be making our journey with HOD the entire way (unless He shows otherwise). I know that HOD is absolutely perfect for our family in all ways, it is perfectly woven together to give us the best academic and godly education. It really is wonderful to be at peace about this finally.
So, all of thet to say, I feel that starting at the beginning with HOD, and enjoying and savoring LHTH is where we should be. I think LHTH is much too valuable and fun to skip. And why hurry? I am actually thankful that I have the opportunity to back up a bit and work through the program in a fun, relaxed and meaningful way.
And just for the record, when I mentioned to my daughter the possibility of starting over with LHTH, she jumped up and down and cheered!
She also said, "Mommy, we can do LHTH again and then when we are finished, we can do LHFHG". I am so glad she has it all figured out 
I just read over my post and it kind of looks like I already have my answer, but I would still love to hear any opinions or comments if you have them.

If you do choose to set aside LHFHG and return to LHTH, I would probably advise just picking LHFHG back up where you left off when you return to it later. There's no reason to repeat the part of LHFHG you've already done. The same is probably true with what you've already done with LHTH. You could just pick it up and finish mainly where you left off. Anyway, just some food for thought. It will really help keep it fresh not to repeat. 
And sometimes that tug is because there is more there for you and you realize it is really what they need and it is on your shelf. I am thinking an honest look at her current needs might help. I hope. 
Sometimes that is what I have to do to figure out where we are headed. I hope you are able to decide.
