Congratulations Sheila!

What a wonderful Christmas present for you, your children and your family!!!

Julie & Carrie, The catalog is beautiful! You all did a fantastic job on it and you should be very proud of yourselves. Your hard work is shining through it and by the sounds of it, it is doing more then just show casing your products, it's touching people's hearts! Amy, Congratulations on beginnin...

Ok, so I placed an order for Cheerful Cursive and when the package got here it had a HOD catalog in it. My darling 8 year old son was so excited when he saw the HOD catalog! :D He was so excited to see the picture of Bigger Hearts on the cover and the picture of Little Hearts on the cover. The added...

I'm going to try this with my 8 yr old son. Thanks Julie!

Tamara, I don't know what to say because I've never been in your situation so I will just post my prayer for you and your family, "Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus and I lift up Tamara to You. You know her Lord and you know her heart, strengthen her to face each day. Renew her spir...

My oldest son had the opposite skill of drawing to work on. He just needed his confidence to grow in his drawing and coloring, and it was not something that came naturally for him. I felt like a failure in that area - like I had somehow been too picky and turned him off to it (and there is some har...

Julie, So do you think it would be ok for me to do the notebooking for him right now? Then he can gradually grow into doing it himself? He likes to draw the pictures but the writing that went along with it, seemed to do him in. He also did not like drawing the maps but maybe that could be something ...

w2w, I will pray for you and your husband and I also stand in agreement with you that the tests results will come to show no growth! I don't know if this will pertain to your situation or not, but I have a friend that has a similar story, only her's started with pneumonia. She had a spot on her lung...

Hi Summer! Have you thought about slowing down the pace of Bigger, doing the left side of the plans one day, and the right side the next day? We started BHFHG off that way for a bit, and that was a nice easing into it start for us. :D We also did that with LHFHG for one of my sons, and it was the p...

When we first started Bigger, I felt the same way as you! It took us forever to do EVERYTHING. Then I realized that R&S was to be an oral exercise between mother and child. That count us way back on our handwriting!

We have since, taken a step back away from Bigger. It was just too much on my ds.

Hey Jessi,
I sent you a PM!

Hey there! I have a struggling reader too - a boy who is 8. Well, actually I have 3 boys but the oldest is struggling w/reading. I am using Teach Your Child To Read in 100 Easy Lessons and it's working great for him! I tried it last year but he just did NOT like it at all. Now he is flying through t...

Jessi, I grew up in a Baptist church but now we attend (when we go) an Assembly of God church that has a praise and worship service with contemporary songs. But the hymns in Bigger are beautiful and there are stories that go along with the hymns that talks about the writer of the hymn and where they...

Thanks ladies! Sometimes things in HOD are so easy to implement that it seems almost too easy and *I* must be doing something wrong.

I would like to know too. I tried doing this last night but I can't see where to change your screen name.
