Color–coded homeschool planner {giveaway}

image

Have you been searching for a paper planner & record keeper? I am pleased to share with you tonight a new one called My Homeschool Daily Planner & Records. This handy planner is the brain child of Jennifer from Are We Crazy, or What?

“This is a unique planner in that each child is assigned a color and that student’s data is recorded in the area designated by that color”. ~ from planner

With 174 pages this planner is chock full of helpful sections including:

* Weekly Planning Pages
* Three Different Chore Charts
* Year At A Glance
* Grade Record
* Field Trip Planner and Recorder
* Student Goals
* Homeschooling Schedule
* Pages for Notes

One feature of this planner that I consider handy is that all the students are color-coded. With versions that include 2,3 or 4 students you can easily identify which students work you are inputting in the red, blue, green or yellow sections. Keeping track of grades and lessons for up to six subjects could not be any easier. The planner is economically priced for each student version at $4.99 each.

I have really enjoyed using this planner as I am a paper girl at heart. Printing the planner out was a breeze with the useful included instructions. I chose not to take my printed copy to the office supply store to have it bound, instead I was able to put copies inside of my personal planning binder.

My favorite section in this planner has to be the chore section. With our new family chore system I am able to keep track of the girls daily points easier. I also really like the color-coded features. My only minor complaint would be that because I have more than 4 students I would love to see an option to add more students.

Overall, I feel this is a great product that you should definitely check out if you are looking for a new planner for the upcoming school year. At $4.99 you can’t beat the price, especially for everything it has to offer.

Love All The Way ~ CD review & Giveaway

Remember Jump 5, a fun teen dance band from years Brittany-LATWago?  If so, then you might recognize Brittany Hargest.  Well now she has her own debut album release called “Love All The Way” that is an upbeat, get up and go  CD filled with songs in which she shares her heart in Christ. Think Christian Rock only a little more toned down.  Have a listen to a song right here!

“Brittany’s debut release combines club beats with lyrics that communicate the hope, love and acceptance that are found in knowing Christ. Recognized for her high energy and soaring vocals, Brittany delivers the same vocal ability, and influence on a more mature record. Infectious rhythms and irresistibly catchy hooks gravitate toward a grand finally ending! These 10 dance/pop driven tracks, are exuberant examples of fiery rhythms, which collectively serve up a variety of interesting tempos. From tracks like, “Slow Motion” to “Love All The Way” to “Miracle” and “You Met Me”, the music’s drive comes from its pervasive grooves, exquisite arrangements and passionate singing. This release ranks right up at the top with any feel-good, dance- driven album in the industry! It’s one of the best Christian dance albums ever made and it’s just so easy to get caught up in the music that at the end, it’s hard not to rewind the record and start it over again! Hargest’s self-titled, debut album demonstrates, what good music is supposed to do by providing a positive escape.”

Brittany’s CD is available on I Tunes, Buy the CD on Amazon, or download the MP3 album at Amazon.  Want your own copy?  Leave me a comment and let me know you were here.  The giveaway is open to anyone, even if you know me IRL (in real life).  This giveaway will be open until 10 P.M. Thursday, Nov. 3rd.  Leave a comment and win a CD, easy peasy!
