Hello 2018!! I'm not sure how 2017 went by so fast, but I am sure happy it is gone. Not a lot of really great things happened for me or my family last year. There were brief moments of highs but it was mostly just a rough year.
So here we are at the beginning of January, more than ready for a fresh start. I have my planners ready and I am excited to begin!
First and foremost I keep a Homeschool planner. This planner is full of daily assignments for upcoming papers and projects. I have discovered that the Blue Sky planner works really well for this. Each day has lines and enough room to write each child's tasks for the day. I color code each kid: Carlie is green, Makena is blue, and Trey is red.
Each of the kids also have a master binder that I keep. It tells me in detail what they will be taught that day via video, the grading scales for assignments, and things for me to copy for them. Everyday when their video teacher assigns them a quiz, skill sheet, or test they come to the master binder and get it out. I over see them doing their work and answer any questions they have and review them for a test.
We used this system last year also and it seemed to work well, so why change a good thing?!
My next planner is a PlanAhead See it Bigger monthly/weekly planner. The size for this one is 10×12 inch. This planner is just for me. I use cute stickers and write down special events, appointments, and birthdays. I do my best to keep this one neat and clean. This is my first time to do one of these in over a year, and I have really enjoyed putting it together so far.
Lastly is my little planner. It is also a PlanAhead See it Bigger monthly/weekly planner. It is a 6 1/2 × 8 inch and fits perfectly in my purse. It is messy. I write in different colors and mark things out. It contains my bill payment schedule as well as appointments and my Discovery planning for church.

So that's what I am working with! How about you? How are you planning for a brand new year?
