Well I got my stuff yesterday that I ordered and I got so excited looking at it all. I was also very happy to read all the good stuff regarding HOD to MFW. I left my conference thinking I should take a better look at MFW b/c so many people I know do it. However, every time I have looked at it it just has not clicked with me. The first time I looked at HOD I felt it was right, I have never been to thrilled with MFW when browsing (not that it is not a good program). All the recent comments have made me feel much reassurance with my decisions. I am so excited for school next year, and we have not even finished this year yet.
Thanks Carrie!!
SO HAPPY WITH DECISION/ Thanks Carrie!
We're excited about our next school year, too! I'm very happy for you, Renee. I've forgotten which program you went with, but I'm sure you will have a wonderful year!
I, too, briefly whizzed by the MFW booth yesterday and you know, I didn't even feel the need to open one guide.

I feel the same way. I have always wanted to *click* with MFW, since so many people seem to love it. I never did though- especially since the phonics are so intertwined in K and 1.
The first time I stumbled across HOD, I thought, "This is it!" It seemed perfect for what I want to do with my dd. I was actually disappointed that dd seemed too far along for LHFHG because *I* want to do it!
I am looking forward to starting BLHFHG and DITHOR though. And I do have a little one that will be ready for LHFHG at some point.

I will be using LHFHG, it loooks like that is what you are using right now.
I will be combining my 6.5 and 5 year old doing K and 1st. Thanks

You are going to have so much fun!! I used MFW K also and we just sailed very smoothly right into Little Hearts. I've heard the Bible reader from MFW 1 goes well with LIttle Hearts, so it's good you've hung onto those things. Using LHFHG with

Melanie,
I must have been confusing.
I have never done MFW, nor do I have any of the supplies. Should I look into getting the book you mentioned ???
We are excited. My oldest is ready to do more stuff, we focused on reading and math only for 2 years. I am a little concerned with the one who will be 5. He is just learning to read now and do math. He will not get the dedicated 2 years of focus on those skills like the other one did, but I think he will be excited with the other stuff two and if worse comes to worse, after we finish LHFHG and I move the oldest up to beyond I can also do little hearts again with the middle one, I also have a a 2.5 yo.
So that is the plan (in pencil)

I am soooo sorry! I think I have you mixed up with someone else on here who was going back and forth with using MFW 1 or Little Hearts. 
I need to keep up better....
And...no....you do not in any way need that book. Oh, I am so embarrassed...who was that using MFW????

Melanie,
No need to apologize, there was quite a long thread just a few days ago I think about someone leaving MFW for HOD. Reading that is what gave me "permission" let's say to not be IN LOVE with MFW. Up until then I thought I must be missing something since it just did not click with me when I looked at it like HOD did.
Thanks for the encouragement and letting me know I do not need to get anymore books.
