I placed my first order with Heart of Dakota! I bought the Bigger and LHFHG packages! We are really excited! Now I am just anticipating the arrival of the books!

Patience is a virtue...right??

I'm going to be using Bigger with my 8 yo and LHTH with my 4 yo.

They ship priority mail, so 3 days or so? I'm in AZ and I get it in about 3 days.

Yeah! We are on the same path, using BHFHG and LHFHG and actually in the same state as well. Stuff comes super quick. You will have them in a couple of days. I am amazed at how fast they come.
You will love doing those two programs together. They are a perfect match!
Enjoy!

Ahhh, I'm getting jealous here ladies! I just finished a great year using exactly those programs, and I'm already growing lonesome for them.

You're going to have to share with me all the fun things you're doing so I can reminisce.
I am very excited to do Preparing.../DITHR and Beyond../Emerging Reader's Set this coming year though! Countdown... 3 months... 2 months/3 weeks/6 days/23 hours... 2 months/3 weeks/6 days/22 hours... You get the picture!
Thanks for letting me share in your excitement!
In Christ,

How exciting! We just started LHFHG. We ordered on a Friday and my stuff came on the next Monday. I'm in TX. So you should get everything pretty quickly. I know you'll enjoy everything. We're only on week 2 but we're absolutely loving it.

We will be doing Bigger and DITHOR w/7yo dd. I just recently ordered and was so impressed, decided to order LHTH for 3yr old dd. I was not originally planning to use any curriculum with her yet, but just could not resist LHTH, I think she is going to really enjoy this.
We are on a 3 week break right now and will be starting with HOD in the middle of June. I feel like I can sit back and enjoy the break now - no scrambling for curriculum or last minute lesson planning!
Oh, and about the shipping, I too am very impressed. We are in VA and I have received my orders 2 days after they are shipped out.

dd - 7yrs Bigger Hearts
dd - 3yrs Little Hands

This is exactly how I feel as well. It is so freeing! A weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.

peridot,
Thanks for sharing your excitement over placing your HOD order! "Bigger..." and "Little Hearts..." was what we did at our house this past year. Hopefully, you'll enjoy it as much as we did. We had a truly wonderful year!
Since we are known for our fast shipping, I wanted to pop on the board and let you know that usually your items would go out tomorrow morning... BUT my hubby is gone on a trip for his "other" job, so... your items will ship out Friday morning. He called from Las Vegas to make sure I'd let you know about the slight delay in shipping as it's very important to him that we have excellent customer service.
I'll do a small "SIGH" with you too that you'll have to wait a couple days longer. SIGH....
Blessings,
Carrie
