So many good posts…. I wish there was a "like" button

Thank you all for your suggestions. I think I'm just going to start with my oldest (in HOD) and get her (and me) used to the guide. I'll have her finish her math and science since we are using our own science for her next year anyway. I know it's going to be an adjustment, so I want to ease her into...

Box day IS so wonderful and I am sure you will be excited to start your new programs once they arrive. Starting in slowly is really a good idea, plus if you have things to finish up maybe you should do it. But I am sure you will come to the right decision. MelInKansas, I was thinking about having t...

Pam, It's interesting that you said that, because it's exactly what I've been mulling around in my head! I figured we could just start slow and gradually work our way into it, then when the fall hits, there would be no "adjustment time". And I think it would be more enjoyable for everyone if we were...

UPDATE: I want to thank you all so much for your prayers. The Lord did provide and I just placed my order this evening. We are sooooo excited! :D :) :D :) :D :) This is going to be an awesome year! I can't believe it is only March, and we are ready for next year. Such a huge blessing. Thank you for...

Thanks, Julie. I look forward to hearing from you today

Nici, I am so sorry for all you are going through. Sometimes life is so hard. :cry: "This too shall pass" is something I have repeated to myself a lot during difficult times. Try not to be too hard on yourself, especially if you do not have any help around. The Lord understands that you can't do all...

for placement advice? I really feel like I need to talk to an actual person.

Can I just say that I truly believe this! This is one of the many things that draws me to HOD. Our studies have truly been a blessing this year. I also want to say that one of my dearest friend has used some HOD, and may I say that she is definitely NOT a type A personality. That is part of the rea...

I have always felt that God was trying to make a circle into a square when He called me to homeschool. I chuckled when I read this…..that is exactly how I feel on so many days. I also feel that way about having a large family. I'm always saying, "What were you thinking Lord? I am the wrong person f...

I sympathize and have been where you are. I am now down to homeschooling my last two, having graduated four. I do not think I have come across any other curriculum in 20 years now that I have felt more worth the money than Heart of Dakota, and having used it for the first time this year, I wish I w...

I think a payment plan would be more doable. I will call them and see about this. Will they help me over the phone with placement too? I have so many questions…

Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement. We have 9 children, 8 of whom still live at home. I am schooling 6 and the youngest is not quite 3 yet. I guess I am just tired. Tired of scheduling, planning, getting books from inter-library loan, keeping track of all said books, making sure I re...

I would love to use HOD next year, but I would have to use 3 separate guides (one of them being the new high school guide). When I started putting everything in my cart that I would need, I couldn't believe the total. I am sure it is all very worth it, but what do you do if you simply don't have tha...
