Went to a hs conference today and was NOT tempted!

I have a history of severe implusivecurriculumitis. Today I just looked around and the only thing I purchased were books I know are used with HOD, like Christian Liberty history and science books. I was so proud that I was not tempted by all of the intense sales pictches that I sometimes received.
I really love having all of my day's work (except the latin we tack on) all on one page!

It is so nice to not be flipping here and there for language arts and science, and then another place for history and math.

That used to drive me crazy because I had check boxes on pages everywhere. I just love HOD's easy lay out.
Anyway, this was a major victory for me and it is a true sign that HOD is something that will stick for the long haul in our house.
Thank you Heart of Dakota!

Carrie - that's great!

I'm so very proud of you. I do believe you are an inspiration to those suffering from "implusivecurriculumitis" everywhere!

I'm completely taken with HOD's simple layout and deep plans too. It's a joy to feel at peace with homeschooling.
In Christ,
Julie

Good job! The same thing happened to me. I even ended up leaving a little early

so I could go home and look at my HOD purchase!

HOD is also a cure for "obsessivecurriculumresearchitis"

Me, too! We went to a conference this past week-end and I only purchased fun, supplemental products or things that I wanted to go along with Bigger Hearts next year. Queen Homeschool Supplies and Simply Charlotte Mason were both there. Normally, I would have went nuts and over purchased from one or both of them! I even attended several workshops, something I rarely do because I'm always hanging out with the vendors and thus missing the speakers.
I'm so glad I found HOD before this year's conferences.

Ladies,
I'm thrilled to hear that you are happy with HOD and with the layout of our guides.

We're happy HOD users here too, and it is such a blessing to me to be able to pull out my guides and be ready to go for my kiddos each day.
On our second time through our guides, I am finding such peace in knowing our bases are covered and in knowing where my kiddos are headed. I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling the same way.
Thanks for sharing!
Blessings,
Carrie
