Hi mamas! I have been lurking for several months, researching other curricula, and even other CM-based curricula. We came to this as a family after my hubby encouraged me to satisfy my curiosity and purchase LHTH for my DS. I have since bought LHTH for DS20mos and LHFHG for my DD4.5. I work right now as a Christian schoolteacher, but know that this is temporary, and still feel the desire to supplement my children's edification with Scripture and Christian worldview objectives.

I just am so excited. Thanks everyone for feedback on how to start with DD. She's not quite 5, but skill-wise I think she ties in better with LHFHG. We'll jump to LHTH if it seems too much, or just do the right side for a while till she is able to do it all. Probably half-speed for K and then once again for 1st.

DS will just love it. The other curriculum I was pondering was heavy on reading, light on hands-on activities. One thing that sold me on this is that Carrie has four boys, so I know she understands how to work with bursting, boisterous joy-filled boys!!!

Welcome! Yep, there's enough to keep boys busy!

Heidi - you sound like me - a former teacher turned homeschooling mom, who was convinced of it more and more over time! Welcome, and I think you will enjoy homeschooling your sweeties so much! LHTH and LHFHG are such a joy to teach, and you are so right, I'm thankful Carrie knows boys too, as I have 3 of my own. Looking forward to getting to know you!

In Christ,
Julie

I have 4 boys so it encourages me that Carrie has boys too. They love it and I am comforted that she has already paved the way.

Heidi,

It's wonderful to meet you! We look forward to getting to know you even better. We pray your little ones will enjoy LHTH and LHFHG!

Blessings,
Carrie

Hi Heidi!
Welcome to the boards! We started LHFHG half speed when my son was 4 1/2 and he did great with it. We just bumped up to full speed and are excited about starting Beyond in the fall. You are going to love HOD!
