This is my 9th year homeschooling. I have now graduated 2 and have 1 more to go. Time sure does fly by!
When I was first getting started, it took some time to find the perfect planner. Not only did my kids need to know what was expected, but I also had to keep up with all 3 of them. That's a lot to keep up with! I finally found the perfect planner. It had all the right things, record keeping, ways to outline each topic/student/week. The problem was that I could only purchase this planner in ONE store and for a very limited time. If I didn't grab it when I first saw it, I was likely to miss out all together. Not only that, it was a pretty thick planner. It took up so much space that it wasn't easy to just grab and go. And, as my kids got older, they really. needed their own planners...or just mine to glance at. It really wasn't used much past the first couple of weeks of each semester. So the cost + the BIG spiral = not always worth the purchase.
Then I had another problem...none of the smaller planners that were inexpensive and easy to just grab and go had the pages I wanted. I was so spoiled with the other planner. So I set out to create my own planner. My goal was to sell it as a printed copy online. A few years went buy and it just wasn't happening.
Enter, DIGITAL PLANNERS. What.a.game.changer. I'm happy to announce that I finally have a homeschool planner available! It's currently available in one color option (cool, calm colors), complete with a sample sticker sheet. Yes, you can use stickers in digital planners! So MUCH FUN! You can find out more about it here. It's currently available as a pdf download that can be used in note-taking apps like GoodNotes or Notability. But it will soon be available as a regular pdf download so that you can print the pages you want.
Next up, I'll be creating more sticker sheets for individual purchase. I also have a few other planner ideas that should be available soon. I have had SO much fun creating the planner and stickers. I'm not sure I'll be stopping any time soon.

I love being organized and have a dream of "a place for everything and everything in it's place". But if I'm being honest, it's a struggle to actually accomplish that dream. However, I am a work in progress and it's heading in the right direction.
A couple of years ago I found this book and it changed my life! I realized I could become 
certified in being a Certified Organizational Specialist and I jumped on it! For once, I had found someone who spoke my language. No, it's not an exact match, but it was the first time things really clicked and made sense to me. I finally felt like I could make some changes, declutter, and finally become organized.I'm still a work in progress, but I have made a lot of great changes. I have realized that it doesn't really matter how much I get done at once, as long as I am making progress in the right direction.

I have realized that it doesn't really matter how much I get done at once, as long as I am making progress in the right direction.This newfound love for decluttering and organizing also lead me to one of the most amazing online organizing events I have ever seen. It's a virtual summit with 100+ speakers. There's SO much information and SO many ladies that know what they are talking about. They cover all areas of life (faith, decluttering and organizing all areas of the home, finances, food...everything!). I have no doubt everyone can find a handful of speakers that they can relate to.
This will be my 3rd year attending the summit. I seriously look forward to it every year. Getting the All-Access Pass is a no-brainer. I can't tell you the number of times I pull it up throughout the year to help me get things moving again.
What is this amazing summit? It's called Get Organized HQ. Trust me, you will wan to join. You can get a FREE pass here. Yes, you'll gain a lot, but it will be near impossible to watch them all. That's why I highly suggest making the small purchase for the All-Access Pass. It's more than worth it!
Also, for you moms, I'll be looking over the summit and sharing my favorites with you over in my Facebook Group, Lavender & Coffee. I'd love for you to join in on our discussions!
It's time to Get Organized!!
