PARENTING TWINS: Getting Organized: The Well Planned Day ...

?

Home Educating Family Publishing has several options this year to help you get ready for the new school year!

I have personally purchased and used The Well Planned Day for Homeschool Teachers but I am featuring the High school Student Versions ? both electronic PDF and paper.

In exchange for this review... We received free version of the Well Planned Day for my 2 highschoolers and tried it out for months=)

School Organization for Students

Home Educating Family Publishing also has help for your students. They can start the new year with these options.

The Well Planned Day High School - 4 Year Plan - Review

This 4-year product is working out great for our family. It is soooo important for kids to know the college prep deadlines and career planning. These items are speckled throughout. Tips and wisdom and WONDERFUL Worksheets they can fill in for transcript planning, and other tasks are highlights of this version.

We acquired a PDF version for my tech-savvy son. I do NOT give him PAPER when possible.? At first, he drooled over his sister?s paper version for a few days?mostly because it looks attractive and it is set up so well. I simply printed out a trial month for him to use on paper. After weeks of picking up random sheets of paper around the house I told him the trial was over. He seems quite content to simply log his work in his electronic PDF version on his laptop. He uses it for recording his homework assignments and class deadlines as well.

My daughter on the other hand was quite disturbed by a PDF version. She is the hands-on crafty type so it didn?t work for her. She now happily carries her paper High School 4-year Plan planner around for school. In past years most planners fell by the waist side by 3 weeks. She has used this planner for months now! I am very thankful for the opportunity to review this product! It is working for our family.

The Home Educating Family Publishing website also has planners for younger students. They have a variety of options? both for 1-yr. or 4-yr. planners.

The Well Planned Day for Educators

The Well Planned Day is a great parent version of planners.? I personally purchased this version because it is especially geared for our homeschooling family?

I?m not sure however,? if I purchased it because of NORMAL reasons.

I personally was tired of retro-fitting planners for our family. PLUS the pages are gorgeous. So pretty that I dare say that is possibly the #1 reason for my purchase=) Then it had everything I needed?.

I am quite critical when it comes to planners. If the paper isn?t right? the ink to light?the layout is awkward?. it doesn?t work. All these factors are important to me. So I was impressed with these planners.

I also noticed other moms at homeschool co-op carrying The Well Planned Day as well=) They said were pleased as well. One mom went to great lengths to personalize it because she also ran a side-business as well.

I have quite a fetish for paper planners despite the iPhones and Google calendars and Hotmail?etc. I know the company offers an electronic PDF version of their planner as well but that was not an option for me.

The paper planners are well laid out with enough space for me to record each of my older 4 kids learning progress. This is great for my required homeschooling record-keeping.

I also color code what I WANT the kids to achieve so I can remember where they SHOULD be=) Sometimes I forget for a minute.

BUT then I can look back and say, ?Ahh -haaa?we discussed this 2 weeks ago and agreed that you would finish_____?

I LOVE it?. I DID give the Colorful Binder the planner set came with to my daughter. She was drooling over it! She put her planner in the binder. Her eyes lit up!
