thanks, i'll check out that link!!!

i need some meal ideas (breakfast, lunch AND dinner!) :D I am in a rut, and i am in a stage where i need things that are not too terrbily time consuming (i love to cook, but my life is turned upside down from our move!), are nutritious and kid friendly. i know the rule is not to post about anything ...

Hi Candice! i haven't had time to read through the entirety of this thread, but one thing i would say is that you should be thankful you have neighborhood friends who are home during the day! i'm sure this can be inconvenient at times, but my dd is always saying in the afternoons in the Springtime, ...

congratulations and welcome back!! i just love little hearts! i used a different curriculum last year when my dd was 4, and while i loved many aspects of it, it did not touch our hearts like HOD has. i am always amazed at how Spirit filled this curriculum really is! enjoy!

i looked at the emerging readers titles and we have a few of these. something i've noticed about them is that she is perfectly capable of reading the words in the books, but it would take her a very long time and she would be very frustrated after the first page or two. So, what does this mean? jus...

okay, i looked at the link you sent and i have to ask...DOES IT REALLY WORK? Could it really be that easy?? Can a child really learn to read after only learning those sounds? While I was at it, I glanced at Reading Made Easy and their sample pages. This seems a little more involved, but definitely l...

thank you so much for your thoughts everyone! i think i may have a plan, but i am going to pray about it for a couple more days and then decide for sure. i will pipe in and let you all know what i have decided!

deleted...i figured it out! thanks for the help ladies...i think i can find some past threads on the RME vs. TRL issue and go from there. thanks again!

mommyofgirls, The ladies are doing a great job of talking through some of your options. I'm still a bit confused about when your kiddos will turn another year older? So, if you get a chance to pop back in and let us know when your 3 year old will turn 4 and when your 6 year old will be 7 that would...

Pollo_la, You make a good point...I guess there is no harm in both of them listening to each other's. I think having this happen some will seem less "odd" when we are actually studing American History later this year and next year. When the oldest was doing LHFHG (the first half that is Bible histor...

thanks so much for your replies! I will take what you said into consideration. I am planning to pray long and hard about how to proceed. Your prayers are greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

I realize in all of my analyzing, I really have one issue to overcome in considering my options for the coming years. My question: What do your children do whose reading time it is not while you are reading to the child whose turn it is for school? i.e. It's time for dd1's school read aloud time in ...

i will post later after lunch, but but just to clarify, my oldest and my middle one are 26 months apart and my youngest is 28 months behind my middle one. My middle turns 4 in a month. Just fyi! I will read again and post later, just wanted to clarify that they are not 3 years apart.

I don't have much time, but I am reading your post and deciphering it as I clean. :lol: Your kids are almost the exact same ages as mine! 8) Real quick, what do you plan on your oldest doing when your younger two are doing LHTH together at ages 5 and 3? Also, what will your oldest be doing when your...
