I’m getting very excited as I begin homeschool planning! 😍 The past couple of years, I’ve purchased a School Nest planner/record keeper, but I just never use all the features, even in the Minimalist version. I love the options and beautiful covers, but I just decided to go back to my $10 Walmart Pen & Gear brand! I love the calendar at a glance and the big daily slots. That’s really all I need. These are my ‘brain’ and my record book.

I’m rereading this oldie, but goodie and it’s making me excited and refreshed as I pray about our learning!
I’m also going back through this little gem!

Are you getting excited about autumn 🍂 or are you still in summer mode? What do you do to prepare? Honestly, we are still in summer mode, but I love homeschooling and stationery and books, so it doesn’t take much for me to fall into this rabbit hole around August! 😅I felt a bit sad because I saw the Purple Lead Plant coming up and Sumac turning colors 😨 and it made me think of summer ending. I just love the seasonal shifts! ♥️✨Happy Friday!
Love that planner! Pen & Gear has some really great stuff…I spend too much time in the notebook aisle at Walmart. 😬😂

I am definitely still in “Summer mode”! Though, I try to have most of my planning done before Summer…so during Summer I can pre-reading any books I haven’t read which I want my children to read (I have already nixed two books from my oldest daughter’s list) and getting book mail (my favorite) and such details. I would say at this point 90% of schooling stuff is nailed down and I am just enjoying my days.
I feel like I am almost always thinking/reading/praying about schooling…I am a nerd as my daughter loves to tease me. I am reading “Philosophy of Education” by Charlotte Mason and Anne White’s updated “Minds More Awake”. These are both new to me.
