Prayers are going up from Florida for you! Not to make light of your situation, and, please know, I love my children dearly, but, some of us would really love a week to ourselves! What is that like? :) I am saying all that to encourage you to see the blessing in this trial. :) And, I feel for you as...

Ruth, I am finding the exact same thing! HOD is a wonderful company with even more wonderful curriculum. I love the living books that are used! I am also using Bigger with older children... my 10 yo dd and my 12 yo ds. In no way have I found it beneath them. I am so glad to hear that you are also us...

I love this, Terri! I love it when God does this for us. How wonderful that you had eyes to see His hand in this. He truly does provide all our needs.

Hi, I know it has been awhile since I have posted about our weeks. Today I had a minute, so I thought I would jump in and fill you in on what we are doing around here :) We had been motoring along doing three programs... Little Hands to Heaven, Beyond Little Hearts and Bigger Little Hearts. I was ge...

Thank you! I feel so encouraged and confirmed that this will be the right decision for us. :-) It almost makes me giddy to think that this is possible! At times in the last month I have felt like a circus performer running from one "plate" to the other trying to keep them spinning. I am so blessed t...

my newly 7-year-old dd in with my 10 and 12 year-olds on Bigger. While I do not find this the ideal... I am realizing that trying to do three different HODs as well as helping each child (except the 4 year old) to do their math and English -- when needed.... as well as run a home... I'm getting frie...

Edited because I answered without looking at my books, and I've got three different HODs going around here! :-) Ummm A Child's Story of America is in the Extension pack.... will you be using this with your 7 yo old son? I don't think you will be doing the extension? But, if I am making a wrong assum...

Thanks for the bump! I think we figured it out. I think it is a typo and they were to read Page 23-25. Not Page 23-35. My kids were very relieved that they didn't have to read to page 35.

Please, Carrie, let me know if we made the wrong assumption!

The answer to my question may be posted somewhere already, but I just am not seeing it. :oops: We are on Unit 3 Day 3 in Bigger. In the Extension assignment it has listed for A Child's Story of America Pages 23-35. Is that correct? That's a lot of reading! Is this a misprint? What is the correct ass...

I love how you incorporate learning throughout your day! You truly have a lifestyle of learning. That is wonderful and what many of us are striving for in our homes.

Keep up the good work, Momma!

Oh Mary! I love this!

Here is the link to our week: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/granolamom6/515559/ I love seeing all your pictures! It is so inspiring and encouraging to see what everyone is doing in their homes. And, you all have the cutest kids! It is very obvious that they are all very well cared for and loved. ...

Mike and Carrie, please keep up the awesome work! It is so evident as I use your curriculum that you are giving God all the glory and are walking in faith with Him. You are taking the road less traveled and He will bless you for it!

Thank you for standing strong and following Him.

Thank you! I voted!

Whew! Finally!
