It’s killing me! This is the first year that I have not been able to coil bind my 7 Step Homeschool Planner because each piece of luggage was perfectly weighed so that we could bring them to South America.
It came down to a choice between a math book for Tiny and my homeschool planner to pack in our bag. You know which one I had to pack. I did find some other things here, but first I have to let you know that I have another form ready and it is the 7 Step Homeschool Planner Free Library Resources List.
I am so excited about this newest form because I have a whole host of forms that I slowly work on as I get wired excited as the homeschool planner grows with more options each year.
Before I tell you about the Library Resources List though I wanted to share a few pictures of what I saw the other day walking down the streets here in Ecuador.
The sight of it was enough to make an organizing loving gal’s heart go pitter-patter.
I saw this office supply storefront and just knew I had found a place to do coil binding.
Sigh. . . no, but of course they had so many other “goodies” there that I couldn’t bring with me in a bag when we first got here. I knew I just had to step inside and take a peek.
The inside was enough to make me not breathe. I have been too long without my organizing pretties.
I am still on the hunt for a coil binding place, but for now, I have visited this place each week. I didn’t want to buy too many things before we move into our new home, but I am over the top excited about finding this big place.
It’s the small things you take for granted like coil binding until you don’t have them. But then again, I am loving the adventure of finding new things.
Enough about me. This is about you today because I am excited to share a Library Resources List.
You know how I feel about creating forms for the Free 7 Step Homeschool Planner. I just create as I go along and take my time with each form.
I am a stickler for correct names of forms too. So titles of forms matter. The title of this form is “Library RESOURCES” and not Library Books.
Most of the time we can borrow so many more things from a library other than just books. For example, at our library we can borrow DVDS too.
So I used a more broad term to include other media you may borrow from the library.
Then the next thing I did was to divide the sections by 10 items.
Sometimes we will pick up a lot of items at the library and sometimes it is just a few. But hopefully, with the sections divided by 10 items, which means that 30 titles fit on one page, it will help you to see at a glance how many items are not returned yet.
So the captions across the top are titles, due date and then a column to mark when you have returned the item.
Plus I like things separated a bit when I am writing on my planner instead of everything running together.
Today, I have one color choice, but you know I love color options. So you know what that means, right? More color options coming!
After all, no one curriculum planner should ever be matchy-match. It should be unique, like you! Couldn’t resist a bit of sugary sweetness. Okay, that’s enough.
Hope you like it!

Hi, We were missionaries in Nicaragua and Costa Rica for 9 years, I understand the grand search to find the things that you are used to 🙂 I also remember the sheer joy in finding those gems. In Nicaragua and Costa Rica I was able to find the comb or coil binding in a few places…most of the time it was in the little photo copy places in our little town. Just an idea in case it’s the same there. Blessings!!
