The picture above is my sweet mom. She took the kids to Build a Bear to take advantage of their buy one get one for $10 sale (ends Wednesday). It’s been at least 4-5 years since we went to Build a Bear!

This must be the week of birthday parties – we have 2 to go to this week and both at dinnertime. That makes meal planning super easy! This week we are still also working on our homeschool year. I hope to give it another 2-3 weeks and we will be done. With my husband’s health issues and other things throughout this year, we definitely took too many breaks.

Monday: Meal from friends

Tuesday: Birthday party

Wednesday: Trim Mac Salad

Thursday: Birthday party

Friday: Grilled chicken, Veggies

Saturday: Burgers, broccoli

Sunday: Egg casserole

Review: Hey, Mama! Homeschool Planner for 2019/20 Year

I love making plans on paper. I’m more likely to follow through with them if they are in front of me! If you are a homeschooling parent and are looking for lesson plans, I’ve got an awesome product for you! Check out the Hey, Mama! Homeschool Planner for 2019/20 Year with devotions written by Gena Suarez and published by The Old Schoolhouse®.

I’m always hesitant to buy something like a planner online because I prefer to thumb through it first and make sure it’s a fit for me. I’m glad I had a chance to review this planner because it’s now my favorite! Within it’s 189 pages, you’ll find everything you need to keep your homeschool organized including calendars, forms, record-keeping, devotions, and more! The planner consists of full size sheets of paper but with the binding, it’s easy to use on a desk.

Check out all that is included by looking at the Table of Contents:

When the planner first arrived, I was very pleased! I love that it is spiral bound so I can easily flip through it. I also like that it has room for plans for 5 different children!

One improvement that I’d like to see in next year’s version is some sort of tabs so I can flip to the page I need with ease. It can be a pain to find the spot I’m wanting to work on with all those pages. I am probably going to buy some sticker tabs to use in this planner. I also noticed that on one month, the numbers were off on the calendar, but with some white out, it was an easy fix.

I haven’t done a lot with the planner yet since we are still finishing up the current year of school, but I plan to soon! (Maybe I should write that in the planner! Ha!) I have started making lists of curriculum I plan to use with the kids next year.

I also like that there is an area to record books that my children have read, their yearly goals, and plenty of areas to make notes on each of the children. The kids are already planning how we will fill up these sections once we work more on planning for the school year.

The Devotional section is nice. After each devotion, there is a fully lined piece of paper so I can jot down any notes or reflect back on what I’ve read. This is a lovely feature that I know I will use.

The weekly planner has plenty of room for seven subjects or categories for each of the five children spaces. The blocks are a nice size and allow for writing down numerous assignments in each box.

This planner was a win for me! I will most likely use this again the following school year!

For More Information:

For more information, you can visit the Hey, Mama! Homeschool Planner for 2019/20 Year website. I heard that they are almost 98 percent sold out, so you’ll want to grab one soon if you are interested. They are currently on sale for $22.

You can also find out more on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest.

Heads up that Lifeway Christian Stores are closing all their stores and going to online only. I went to our Athens, GA store today and found quite the sale! I think I may have to go back tomorrow because I wanted more time to look and they were closing.

Throughout the store, I found many things 50-80 percent off! We stocked up on some books we’ve been wanting to read. Be sure to call or stop by your local store to find out about the current sales.
