happyWImom Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Okay, if you've seen some of my posts, you realize "I am a curriculum jumper". (There should be some sort of help group for this) Anyway, I was really attracted to MFW 1st this spring, and bought it-twice!:blushing: Once new, once used. I waited until the end of the summer, just before we were going to start and tried to figure everything out & organize it. So...I don't know if I was trying to organize it too much, or if I'm guidebook challenged (I think a little of both). But I just didn't/couldn't get it!!! So, I sold both, right. Now, after using other things (okay things) but not loving them, and maybe being a little more confidant, I am drawn back to it. So I posted a WTB on yahoogroups (I was too embarrassed to do it here-I didn't want to be found out-now the secret's out:tongue_smilie:). I get a response from someone at yahoo, who describes the stuff, says she used it for 2 weeks, yada,yada. Anyway, I think "her email address seems familiar". Yes, folks, she is the one I sold my stuff to!!!:rofl::rofl: Are we crazy, or what? Now, I'm afraid to respond because I don't want her to know it's me. Then she'll really think I'm insane.

Dawn E Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 :lol: Too funny! I've sold and rebought stuff myself--though never from the same person. :001_smile: For what it's worth, I loved using the MFW 1st reader and Bible notebook. I used the guidebook only to read the Bible stories, and I didn't use the phonics extras. I bought it for a good price used a couple of years--yes, I have the sickness--before I needed it, and wasn't thrilled with using it for my whole curriculum. I had shelved it and forgotten about it until I was dissatisfied with what we had picked for Bible. I pulled out these materials and they were the highlight of our year. I used other materials for math, phonics, writing and science, though, so I'm not sure of how it is to use it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3lilreds in NC Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 :lol::lol::lol: You are VERY funny! I have to confess that I moved away from MFW this year and am regretting it mightily. I have a friend who I think is going to let me buy her Adventures used - or trade me for something, although I can't imagine I have anything she needs/wants. We'll see. I thought MFW 1 was a fabulous program. I have not actually every completed it, but I started it twice. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Sherry Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) No need to feel embarrassed. If we don't purchase things to get a good look at them how will we ever know for sure if they are a good fit for us. :001_smile: One of the great advantages of homeschooling is we get to choose and change our mind about what resources we are using whenever we want to. I have found that what was a good fit for one of my children is not always what is best for one of my other children. I am not laughting AT you , regarding your changing and selling and then repurchasing your curriculum, but WITH you. There are items I have purchased the same item more than once because I have gotten rid of it and then wanted to use it again later. :lol: Edited October 21, 2008 by Miss Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyWImom Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Then she is equally insane right? :lol: This time, please, ask for help!!!! After a couple of years with MFW I have a few ideas for how to get organized. Crystal posts here too and she has done all of MFW so she is a great resource. I think you will love MFW and don't feel bad about buying from the person you sold to. At least you will really know what you are getting! :thumbup: Christina: I will ask this time! And next year, when we are doing Adventures (which I already bought & am drooling over) Thanks!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricia Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 That's too funny. But if it helps I am just starting my second year with MFW. I love them. I would love to help with any questions. Oh, and if you find a group for 'curriculum junkies' pass it along to me because I definitely need the help as well.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure everyone asks you, but HOW can you find time to have a blog?? Or anything? Anyway, I see you're in Wisconsin, so are we!! Where are you at? We're in Green Lake. (We are allowed to tell, aren't we? I already broke one rule last week) Tammi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
