  1. Amy Wooldridge

    I have used Plan Your Year for several years and this new extended version is better than ever.

    This book has been at my side since the first days of our homeschool journey, and it’s been an invaluable resource every year. I love how Pam first helps you set the vision for your homeschool, then create goals, and only after that, choose a materials to achieve those goals and fulfill your homeschool vision. There are so many resources and ideas that really help a homeschool mom tailor her homeschool plan to her children rather than force everyone into a preformed idea of what works. I can’t imagine planning our year without this amazing book, and I’m even more excited about the new edition – so much more information!

    I can’t say enough good things about Plan Your Year. I have used it since we began homeschooling and I STILL find new ways to help me get organized. I absolutely love how flexible it is.

    I’m new to homeschooling this year, but not new to planning. (I’m a former wedding planner). However, when I started this journey, I was completely overwhelmed with all of the resources out there. I had no idea where to start and spent hours trying to reinvent the homeschool planning wheel. Until I came across Pam’s Plan Your Year plan. This was a Godsend! Pam’s plan made complete sense to me and helped me to pull everything I was doing together into a plan that WORKED!

  5. Amy Harter

    Plan Your Year is useful and encouraging to any style homeschooler. Regardless of curriculum choices, Pam Barnhill encourages you to plan out and have your most productive, successful homeschool year ever! And, the included planning forms are colorful and attractive.

  6. Sarah Bergren

    I’ve used Plan Your year for several years in digital format. I’m so excited that there’s now a printed copy to hold, highlight, and add to my bookshelf! I love Pam’s materials because they’re practical, and Plan Your Year is one of my favorites. It works with any curriculum, any homeschool philosophy, any household schedule. The beauty is that she gives principles and methods to plan YOUR unique homeschool year, starting with writing a homeschool vision and moving step-by-step through goals, course of study, yearly/monthly/weekly schedules, and more. Highly recommended!

    I have 8 kids and have been homeschooling for 15 years. Before Plan Your Year I was a chronic over-purchaser and over-scheduler. I jumped from boxed curriculum to boxed curriculum. I tweaked and rewrote and added and dropped from every product I purchased. For years I pulled together my own resources and spent hours upon hours creating the perfect plans, yet the perfect solution eluded me.

    Plan Your Year flipped my planning process on its head. I cast a vision and crafted effective goals prior to hunting for the resources and curricula that would assist me along the way. Pamโ€™s systematic planning guide helped me to keep my priorities focused as I created a homeschool plan that would meet the needs of my family and decrease my frustration as I implemented it. Plan Your Year revolutionized my homeschool. The plans I created using this book resulted in better organization and a clear roadmap of where we were headed each year. That roadmap provided more consistency and precious peace in our homeschool days.

  8. Adayla

    I use this book to guide my homeschool planning every year. It’s efficient and motivating. It’s very helpful when nailing down a vision of what I want our days to look like. Highly recommend.
