Information about homeschool planning including the Plan Your Year Homeschool planning kit plus the free homeschool planner pages.
Chaos is not my thing. Not that anyone really likes it, but some most folks roll with the punches better than I do. The kids are yelling. The dog is tracking mud through the kitchen while he yips incessantly at said children. A pot is boiling over on the stove. And in the midst of this, I am supposed…
You know that awkward moment when your best friend asks you what you thought of her book? And you liked it, you really liked it, but the English teacher in you wants to ask, “Are you sure somebody didn’t help you with this?” Because it’s just that good. You talk to someone every single day…
Skills curriculum is not something that lights a fire under my kids. An explosive science project — yes. The nuances of spiral versus mastery math? Not so much. You guys, on the other hand, have been hinting madly (I get emails, lots of emails.) that you want to know exactly what we’re using for curriculum…
Note from Pam: My curriculum choices are coming soon, but to give you a view of another homeschool and to help you get to know her better, Jessica will be sharing her curriculum choices and plans this year as well. Although Pam and I are involved in the same co-op and having much the same philosophy of education,…

I’m not going to lie and tell you that everything is sunshine and roses around here every day. My seven-year-old reminds me often that he doesn’t-like-school-not-one-little-bit. I don’t fret too much about this, because I remember the nine-year-old going through just such a stage. In the meantime, we are putting our head down, carrying on…
You know me. I love a good homeschool room redo, an organization hack, or sitting down to do a little planning. Tools to get organized make me happy, and sometimes I like to try out a new homeschool system even if ours isn’t broken — just to see if it is better. So I collect…
The first part of this school year was glorious. We got busy every morning and were incredibly productive. We were done with all of our core PLUS enrichment subjects by noon each day with plenty of time to spend our afternoons in leisure or working on other projects. It was awesome. Why was it so…
One of the best things about the homeschool moms who have downloaded my homeschool planner is that they are always coming up with ideas for new planning pages. I have been working hard behind the scenes to get these out to people who request them and also to get them to you as well. I…
