The HOD Prodigal returns

Post by rockhouse » Fri Apr 01, 2011 10:37 am

I just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself since I will probably be picking everyone's brains on here a LOT!! :D For the past two years of homeschooling my oldest dd, I have used a mixture of lots of differnt curriculums and made my own out of it. When I started planning for this fall, I knew that I wanted to use LHTH with my second dd who will be 4 this fall. I used it with her big sis and we had soooo much fun! Well, as I started looking at LHTH again, I remembered all of that fun and that sent me back to the HOD website to look around and like a black hole in outer space, it sucked me back in!!!

Soooooo, this fall I will be doing Bigger with my dd7 (I've already bought the TM and it looks like a great year!) and LHTH with my dd4. I know that this is where we need to be as a family, and now I'm wondering why I ever left to eat with the pigs!

Your subject line cracked me up so I just had to say hello and welcome back.

I'm doing Bigger with my oldest three, and we're having a great year. You're in for a treat. :D :D

Welcome back to HOD! :D Don't worry, I too did something similar. The methods of CM were very new and I panicked. Went back to the way that was more familiar. When it didn't work, HOD was waiting. This time I learned the methods and why they worked. Now, it's home. Enjoy an amazing year with HOD.

Welcome from another prodigal! I too have just returned to HOD and can't figure out why I ever left it to begin with. :D It feels wonderful to be back. I'm sure you know the feeling :lol:

Blessings to you as you begin your path back to HOD for next year.

Welcome back - so glad you are here! :D We are doing Bigger Hearts and LHTH now (and RTR too) - what fun we have had this whole year! :D I've now done LHTH 3 times with our 3 sons, and Bigger Hearts twice - it has been a neat mixture of what has been and what is new. It's familiar in a fond way, but new in a fresh way as my dc are all so different from one another. :) I'm so excited for the year you have ahead of you! Have you seen the HOD photobooks? They will give you a sneak peek and Bigger Hearts, and take you down memory lane with LHTH:

I look forward to getting to know you more here! :D
