Hi Mystika1! I am My3Sons, and I'm so glad to have you here! We are using LHFHG for the second time this year with our second son. My second son is so different from my first son, and he is enjoying it just as much. You and your daughter are in for such a treat! I have a 6 month old baby as well, so...

Hi Everyone! How are all you fellow homeschool moms doing? It's almost Friday gals - so hang in there! I just wanted to introduce myself. I am Julie Grosz (My3Sons), and I live in South Dakota. I have been married to Rich for 12 years, and we have (bet you can guess this one)... 3 sons! They are Wya...

Hi Lee Ann! Just wanted to say we used Beyond... last year, and you are sure in for a treat! We had such a great year... I look back on it fondly and so does my son. You've got a lot of great things ahead of you. Just thought I'd also mention that as I got more familiar with my schedule and was able...

Glad it helped, Amy! I see you are blessed with 2 sons - keeps you running, doesn't it?!? Gotta love those precious boys!

Hi Everyone! I got asked a very good question by Tabby about how to balance using Little Hearts... and Bigger Hearts... and Drawn into the Heart... I thought I'd paste my answer here too, since it was also a question I originallly had posted as well. Balancing the day is always a great topic to talk...

I've done a month of Bigger Hearts for His Glory, and we are having such a great year! I'd love to add more to my testimonial at a later date, but I just couldn't wait to share some of the exciting experiences we've had so far. I'd like to point out some of the "Bigger" things in BHFHG, that symboli...

Hi Tabby! It's nice to meet you! You've asked a very good question, and I'll do my best to answer it - but please feel free to post other question(s) and ask me anything I'm not clear on (I have 3 boys - since you have 2 active boys, you know how foggy that can make our thinking by afternoon!). Firs...

Hi Britt! Nice to meet ya! I'm so glad you posted, and you did it just right! (I wondered if I was doing it right at first too.) We've used Little Hands... twice now with 2 different sons, and I'm on my second time around with Little Hearts... this year too. What a happy homeschool day we have! (I'm...

I also like the format of Reading Made Easy. I think it is a phonics program that takes the child further... by the time the child is finished with it, beginning the Emerging Readers set on the Heart of Dakota site is totally a smooth transition. It makes finding another phonics program to do after ...

Thanks for your suggestion! I think that makes sense, and you're so right... the flexibility of this is so great! I'm into my second week of Bigger..., and we are enjoying it already. Hope you're having a good homeschool year too!

Does anyone have any tips about what order would be good to do the boxes of plans in Bigger Hearts...? I'm just setting up my day, and thinking through this.
