    I just found Beautiful Feet, so far I like what I am seeing. I requested some of books from the Library, waiting for them to come in. But, has anyone used their stuff?

    Love their book choices!

    We like all the books they choose although we didn't follow the schedule or use the timeline.

    We did follow their advice of copying the D'Aulaire book illustrations for the kids to color while I read-aloud. They have a nice little notebook from that study.

    Thanks, At first I wasn't so sure but the more I check it out I think we will really like it. My son said he likes the look of the time line. But, I really don't know how much work that is.

    The timeline in the set we used was very simple. E. A. Primary level, I believe? It may have been Intermediate but the timeline is probably the same.

    The pictures are large and they can be colored with colored pencils. The drawings are detailed and realistic so you could have a nice piece of art when you're finished.

    We started with HIstory of Science through literature, which my son LOVED and it helped us set up our notebooking for homeschool. It served as a great base for us to set all our school on, whether we used BFB or not.

    We have also used History of the Horse, and Early American History. I plan on using completely different resources for High school, otherwise I would use their high school plan as well. And we still do notebooking!

    I tried to use Primary and Intermediate history together, and it didn't work well. But that may have been just me!
