Home Sweet Home(School)

Let's get cracking! (and free planner contest!)

Ready to roll up your sleeves? The adventure of a lifetime is looming on the horizon.

There's an overused expression hovering in the back of my brain, a cliche perhaps, but true for all that.

Today is the first day...

(...can you finish it with me? Let's all say it together!)

of the rest of your life!

Who wants to join me?

(Of course, for all I know, you all are weeks ahead of me in this. I've had this feeling of the school year creeping up on me, and a glance at the calendar tells me it's nearly here. All the planning that I've been *thinking* about doing is going to have to get done in the next two weeks if I'm going to meet my original start-by date, set last June when we embarked on a glorious summer of (mostly) vacation.)

Just to help establish the right mood, I'm offering a free copy of the new Schoolhouse Planner! All you have to do is comment on this post, and next Monday we'll draw a name for a winner! (Please post an announcement about this drawing, too!)

(Edited to add: Because I'll be without Internet until Thursday, this deadline has been extended to Friday. Thanks!)


Everyone who joins in to plan and organize for the new school year is a winner, actually! Think about it! How many applicable aphorisms--"aphorisms" sounds so much nicer than "cliches"--can you come up with? Here's one to start: "Those who fail to plan, plan to fail."

Who's with me?

Oh good grief, school starts in 2 weeks! I haven't even cracked open a school book this summer. We really needed a break. The planner sounds wonderful and I am looking forward to your planning workshop.

The planner would definitely come in handy. I also want to thank you for not being "on time" with your planning of lessons, etc..... This will be our 3rd year home educating & usually I'm ahead, but not this year. I'm not worried, things will get done when they are supposed to & we'll hopefully get done by May '09. Thanks for the opportunity to possibly win this!
