Making a Comeback. That's the Plan, Anyway!

Okay, so some of you have been around for a while, and some of you are new followers.  If you've been around for a while, you know that my blog used to be a mix of reviews, funny stories, memes, and other assorted stuff.  Well, life got overwhelming for me this past year.  Well, MORE overwhelming, and so other than the reviews I was obligated to write, and a few contests, you haven't heard much from me.  Soooo.....

I made the decision to drop out of the TOS Crew.  (Well, maybe I quit before I got fired, but I'd like to think they'd have had me back!)  Anyway, this probably doesn't really free up much time as things have a way of filling in empty time, but I am hoping to get back to writing more fun stuff!  And maybe, just maybe, I'll write some posts on my Crazy Mom style of homeschooling.  I want to do this because I listen to all the reasons people say they "could never homeschool" and I am proof that you can still do it, if you have the committment and desire.  For example, I am disorganized, impatient, and more or less clueless about just about everything.  However, my kids do just fine.  I wanna be here to be the one who says, I don't care how poorly you think you are doing, if you can teach your kid to read, do basic math, follow basic directions, and love the Lord, YOU CAN DO IT!!!

As an independant contractor for The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, I'd like to share with you a little ad I whipped up for this year's Schoolhouse Planner:


To
FAIL to plan...

(for your homeschool year)

is a plan to FAIL. 

Whether you a Type A kinda woman, or just a gal who likes to fly by the seat of her pants (skirt?), the one thing you need to make your homeschool successful is some kind of plan.  Whether you like to schedule life minute to minute, or just make sure you get the important stuff done so you have plenty of time to create, explore and dream, don't be without the 2010 Schoolhouse Planner.


The good folks at TOS have thought of everything.  The Schoolhouse planner is more than a regular planner.  It's almost like having your own personal assistant to help you at every turn.  And it's not just for your homeschool stuff.  It's for EVERYTHING!!! 
Here are just of few of the things this 600 plus page planner can help you do:


  • Remember your mother-in-law's birthday

  • Fix new and exciting meals for the family

  • Keep all your important numbers in one place

OH!  And, of course, there's homeschool stuff too!


  • Keep a list of books your children have read

  • Quiz the kids on fun stuff like state capitals and U.S. presidents

  • Record scores from standardized tests

 And, believe it or not, even with over 120 forms, TOS managed to still find room for, you guessed it...calendars!!! 


  • Daily planner pages

  • Weekly planner pages

  • Quarterly planner pages 

  • More! More! More! 
As a matter of fact, there is just too much to put into one small ad.  Just imagine anything you'd like to keep track of, and it's most likely in there.  Everything from car maintenance to TV shows! 

And just how much is this planner???  Just $39And it's ready for you to instantly download right here!!!  (Also available on a CD-ROM here for $44.) 

So, what are you waiting for?  Plan to SUCCEED!!!
