Oh how I could use the planner. I am not naturally an organized person. I started homeschooling my youngest in the middle of the year last year. My middle child will also be homeschooled this fall. I definitely need something that will keep my more organized and help with planning all of my daily routines.

I could definately use the planner. I have been trying to organize our homeschooling for years, since we started. I have tried to "make do" with those made for teacher's and they are hard to work with and frustrating. It would be great to have something made just for homeschooling to better organize our schoolwork, misc. activities, lesson plans, and record keeping.

Since we are just starting out, I figure if we start out right, we'll start and keep going strong. Anything I can use to help us in that direction would be fantastic.

I could really use something like this. I tried to start homeschooling last year for K (My daughters birthday is in the middle of the year, so she didn't really HAVE to start, but wanted to) I was so unorganized that we made it half way through and I gave up. This year we are going to give it a go again, and this would be a great help.

Wow! I would love to have this planner! We have been with a charter school for the past 4 years and I haven't had to do much of my own planning, but I have decided to begin homeschooling independently next year and one of the things I am most concerned about it my ability to stay organized. It would be so awesome to be able to keep all of our plans and records in one place. I have been searching the internet and comparing all of the various planners but have seen nothing as complete and exhaustive as this planner from the Old Schoolhouse.
Thank you!

My style of planning - scrap paper - lol - Which I attempt to then copy into a binder so it's all neat and organized. So this would be a big help! You've been blogged and linked in my side bar as well.

I like that you can fill in the planner on your computer. All my homeschool plans are on my computer, so having an organizer there would be great. I blogged about the contest and linked to your site on my sidebar.

I love that this is a PDF so I can have it in any format that works best for me. Once you get the pdf, you can have copies where ever you want (like one in my purse, and one in the kitchen). It would be great to have a planner made with all the input from homeschooling moms. This would help save my (last bits of) sanity fighting with planners made for business professionals or school teachers. (email on blogger profile)

Oh, this would be great!! :) Now that my kids are getting a little bit older, I think they would do really well being able to view their own assignments in a planner....thus hopefully freeing me up a bit!

I am glad I found this site. Someone just tweeted about this giveaway, so I came to check it out. The planner looks very useful. I am a homeschooling mom of three, so things seem to always be a zoo around here. I would love to win it. I also stumbled your site. I think this is a great place for other homeschoolers to know about! Thanks for the entries. stacey@natural-childbirth.net
