Default Re: Heart of Dakota vs My Father's World

Since this links to the thread I started a while back, I will tell you what I ended up choosing for this fall!

I decided after much deliberation, polling, praying, sweating and researching to do HOD.

In the end I really liked both and could not decide between the two. I ordered info on both curriculums and showed them to my husband and he chose HOD. I was leaning toward that one but did not tell him that. I gave him an overview and he looked at HOD and he said he liked that one the best. We are finishing up HOD Little Hands to heaven now.

I think they are both really good. I would pray that God would mke it clear to you which one he wants you to choose. Every child is different and I don't think every curriculum fits every child.

I liked different things about each one. I like HOD because it is truely an open and go curriculum. It is simple and covers everything. MFW has more legwork as far as finding books and such and more preplanning is needed. MFW is a wonderful curriculum.

I really think it comes down to what is the best fit for your family. Cathy Duffy has reviews on her website for both. I think her website is cathyduffyreviews.com
