How's Your Planning Going?

Are you all ready for the new school year? I am not! But, I knew I could rely on one item that could help me begin the organizational process for my year.

You guessed it! I am talking about the TOS 2010 Schoolhouse Planner. What!?! You haven't heard of the TOS Planner? Where have you been? Well, let me take a minute and tell you all about the planner. You see, last year I purchased the 2009 Schoolhouse Planner and I had to convince hubby that it would be a good investment and we purchased it. The reason for that was I would only be homeschooling my daughter who was going into 1st grade. My youngest daughter would only be in K4, and I had convinced myself that there was not much need for any type of planner for her. Then the more I thought about it the more I realized I needed some way to keep track of all our books, weekly plans and the like. So I printed out all the forms and such and this is what it looks like.

Thus far this year I have been feeling so behind. I realized the other day that school is literally around the corner and I have not done a lick of planning! (Well, at least not the written up kind - it's all stuck in my pretty little head, and I'm the kind of person who needs to write it all out on paper so I can see it. I like lists and such) So I was going to start going through last years' planner and printing out the forms I needed for this year. That's why the planner is so awesome. You can use it year after year!

But then the most wonderful opportunity was presented the other day. I was given the chance to do an advertisement for the new TOS 2010 Schoolhouse Planner! And let me tell you I jumped at the chance! This planner is even better than your run of the mill planners and I'm going to tell you why. And let me tell you it is a doozy! Let's face it, we all could do with a bit more organization.

Now, you need to brace yourselves.

Are you ready? Are you sitting down?

This planner is a whopping 614 pages! Did that just knock your socks off? That's right, 614 pages full of organizational bliss. This is the ultimate in a completely customizable life scheduler/planner! One of this planners unique features is that it is interactive. You can type directly into the planner. You can even have a fully customized planner for each child by using the "save as" feature. That is just plain genius!

It has daily, weekly calendars as well as 2010-2013 yearly calendars; recipes (which I know I will be using); monthly resources lists and wonderfully encouraging articles. And this is just the mere tip of the iceberg!

Then you will go on to find all types of necessary homeschool forms. Whether you are teaching preschoolers, high schoolers, or somewhere in between the TOS Schoolhouse Planner has the form you need. They have forms for your curriculum choices; goal and objective forms (including a nifty To-Do List); planning sheets for any system - daily, weekly, quarterly; reporting and progress forms; as well as scheduling forms. They even have extras including nature journaling pages and different types of log sheets whether it be books, movies, or field-trips.

Guess what! We're not done. There are a slew of household forms to help keep your house running like a smooth oiled machine. Some of my favorites include the important phone numbers, and babysitter information sheet; homekeeping schedules; grocery and meal planning pages; chore charts and budget forms.

Theres even forms for keeping track of birthdays, anniversaries and planning for parties; Bible forms for reading schedules and study notes; gardening forms and some miscellaneous forms including a Christmas Car list, vacation planning, and a weight-loss journal!

You can enjoy these and more for the very low price of just $39.00. Go here to buy your very own downloadable, customizable Schoolhouse Planner.
