Check-up, Surgery, and Braces – Homeschool and Life Happenings

Aug92018

Last week the final few books needed for our upcoming year were ordered and almost everything has been delivered (woot!). Monday I was able to spend some time printing off student planners for both McKenna and Zachary. Before I print off my homeschool planner, I need to make sure I'm not missing any subjects (because that's happened in year's past and it drives me nuts when I've printed something … [Continue reading...]

August 2018 Planning Pages for Mom – Free Printable

Jul302018

Confession: last month resulted in little homeschool planning until the last two days of the month. 😳 Yeah. Can we just say a little out of my comfort zone!

What the Summer Has Looked Like… Homeschool and Life Happenings

Jul272018

New Student Planner Covers for 2018-2019

Jul52018

One of the things I love about our student planner is that the kids have a chance to OWN it by adding in their information, including filling out the dates for each month. A few years ago I started selling a PDF version of the planner I created for my girls and each year update the covers (your purchase allows access to a ‘buyers only’ page where optional pages are added, including additional … [Continue reading...]
