How do you resist a planner called The Well Planned Day? If there is anything I need in my homeschool it is a well planned day. I may not be the most organized person. I may have scraps of paper on my desk with notes to myself scrawled all over. I may lose a pen a day. Yet, when it comes to homeschool planning I may actually fool you into thinking I am one of those homeschoolers who has in the bag. Yes, I appear to have it together and if I stick to my planner I may actually pull it off. However, this was not always the case. I have used many lesson planners in the past. I have neglected and lost many lesson planners in the past. In the middle of day planners, family planners, lesson planners, grocery lists, birthdays, holidays, four kids and a dog, I am up to my ears in organizational tools. My organizational tools were in a constant state of disorganization.
In walks The Well Planned Day: A Family Homeschool Planner. Goodbye day planner, grocery lists, lessons planners, and family planners. Why? The Well Planned Day puts all of it under one binder or one digital product. I prefer the hard copy since I am still someone who loves to scrawl notes on sticky notes. At least this time the sticky notes are in the section they belong. I love that this planner is exactly what it claims: A Family Homeschool Planner. Everything you need to organize your home and your school is found in this planner. The planner is set up for four children which fits me perfectly since I have four children.
I have searched for a long time to find something I could keep all notes and planning. I grew tired of having to look through a few different planners just to organize my day. I was first introduced to this planner by a friend. I remember catching a glimpse of her planner while at the art museum and I will confess I grew a bit envious. I love the planner so much I almost hate to write in it since it is so beautiful. As my first year putting the planner to active use I am very excited and love planning out the year of lessons. Each month there is a lovely homeschool article to inspire you as well!
