I'm sending you a virtual hug! I know it can be so challenging trying to figure out what the right thing is to do especially with so many voices in our culture today. My children have certainly been tools that humble me and keep me on my knees before God. I think seeking council/advice is a wise thi...

Oh, the various seasons of motherhood! I wouldn't trade it for the world but boy it can be challenging to say the least. Especially with littles in tow. :shock: Paper plates! I know that may not sound ideal but it's a huge help when you really need it. :D I will sometimes invest in a huge stack from...

Tawny, I can relate. I myself need guidance/help in the area of character building and Bible which is why I was so drawn to HOD. I believe it has a very strong focus in both of those areas. Proverbs 4:23 says that everything overflows from the heart and it's been impressed on my heart lately that al...

I was in the same situation with my dd and had a hard time deciding what to do. I finally decided to go with LHFHG for Kindy and am so glad I did. I think it comes down to every child is different and for some it would be too much for Kindy and for others it's just right. If he places in little hear...

I will also have a young first grader in beyond(using little hearts for kindy now) and after much debate on various options I finally decided to go for it and go half speed which will stretch out the guide giving her some time to mature before she hits the upper guides. Have you considered half spee...

However, once we got started I realized, she was more than ready for full speed so that sort of c...

I don't post much but had to comment on this. I have to say that I was so drawn to HOD and yet felt so hesitant to use it of fear that it would be too inflexible. I kept hearing that it was a very structured curriculum so it made me wonder if I'd be able to pull it off. I finally decided to take the...

Hi, I'm not a seasoned HOD user yet but I'm sort of in the same boat as you. My daughter is turning 5 this month and starting Kindergarten and I kept debating whether I should put her in Little Hands or Little Hearts as she's still learning her letters and sounds. I also thought she'd like little ha...

Hi All, I'm new to HOD and have a daughter that will be starting Kindergarten in the fall. What attracts me most to Heart of Dakota is how Christ Centered it is. I want our homeschool to Glorify God and what my children to be saturated in God's word and always being aware of who He is and that our w...
