Information about homeschool planning including the Plan Your Year Homeschool planning kit plus the free homeschool planner pages.
Last winter my third grader, Sarah Joan, and I were so frustrated with homeschool and each other. I had tried several systems, including the spiral notebook system, to no avail. She still wasn’t independently task driven, and I was still falling behind giving her assignments. Being a bit of a day dreamer, she also had…
I have never been very flexible — physically or otherwise. I have always envied those people able to do splits (never done one) or be laissez faire about missing deadlines (never missed one in my yearbook adviser days). Then I became a homeschool mom. You can read or listen to this post. A homeschooling day is…
Last week, I told you all about Laura and how her homeschool plan actually created more stress in her life than it did peace. It happens. A lot. This week I am back, as promised, to give you four important keys you can use to create a plan that doesn’t feel like a guess, but…
Summer is almost here and you know what that means! Planning season is about to launch into full gear. Time to spread the table with those resources, books, catalogs, and, of course, your homeschool planner! I’ve written about how I didn’t use to be much of a planner girl because I’m just too picky about…
Laura wanted to do this homeschool thing just right. She had struggled in the past, but this year was going to be different. Her homeschool planning was going to be perfect. So she started by buying a fresh, new homeschool planner. You know the kind. It had months of lesson plan grids that started in…
Everyone knows the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears right? Goldilocks had to try a couple of bowls of porridge before she found the one that was “just right”. Sometimes that happens when we are searching for just the right homeschool planner too. We can’t always know what is going to work “just right”…
Homeschool convention season is upon us. Thousands of people will attend a convention this spring to hear inspiring messages, gain useful insights, be encouraged that they’re not alone, or buy curriculum for the coming year. It’s a time many of us celebrate the freedoms we have as we come together to learn and grow in…
Have you ever tried your friend’s favorite homeschool planner or planning method and it was a total flop for you? It’s not because there’s something wrong with you. More likely, it was a process or a planner that just wasn’t a good fit for the way your brain works. Personality typing á la Myers-Briggs is…
Sometimes I tend to over-complicate things. Why do one math curriculum when you can do two? The best curriculum is the one with the most pieces, right? Since I’m a homeschool teacher I need a fancy lesson plan book, don’t I? Not so fast homeschool supermom. Before you get mired down in the idea of…
In this world, there are two kinds of people. People who buy any old planner and just use it, and people who buy multiple planning products and never really use any of them. There’s quite possibly a need for a twelve-step program for that last group. 🙂 The people in the last group aren’t wishy-washy….
