It's great to hear from someone who's been in both camps!

Health is a required subject in our state too. I've wondered if Carrie or Julie have thoughts or recommendations for that.

I'm happy with the art and music contained in the guides I've seen.

I was wondering if any other HODies from the forum would be there! I am excited to go through my new CTC I brought home. And I'm very appreciative that Carrie and Julie made the trip!

I forgot to grab more catalogs though. Aaaaack!

Thank you. Very helpful!

Hi, I'm new here and am seriously thinking about trying HoD for my 8yo DS next year. I tried Sonlight this past year and while I liked the books, I did not like the schedule/TM. I was going to write off all "boxed" curricula. . . until I heard about HoD. Anyway, I'm thinking about doing Bigger Heart...
