Oh, Yay! You'll love Bigger. That's funny you mentioned repacking the old set for your little one. I was just thinking that the other day! I wondered if she will feel left out when huge boxes full of fun books keep coming for brother and none for her. Hmmmm....may have to get creative.

So excited for you! We just finished Bigger and had an incredible learning experience with it. I noticed my ds blossom so much while we used Bigger. It is a very meaty guide that teaches very valuable skills.
Success with organizing and doing Bigger. I look forward to seeing your "Weeks in Review" and enjoying the journey with you and your family.

Wow, you are on the ball to have everything already organized and on the shelf! What a wonderful year you have ahead of you. We finished Bigger last week and it was wonderful year here. I think boxing up you LHFHG and letting your son have a box day is a wonderful idea. You could probably even reuse your HOD box that your Bigger things came in. Everyone needs a box day.

That's so fun - I'm glad you got your boxes and are getting organized!

Wyatt had new boxes last year, and Riley didn't, as he was finishing out an HOD guide. So, I hid his new art supplies around the house for him to find - just his crayons, markers, etc. - but he loved it anyway! Just an idea - happy organizing for your HOD year!
