This is NOT a calendar, but a super helpful planning form! Grab your free 2016 to 2017 Year Round Homeschool Planning Checklist @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

I know it’s a crazy time of the year to put together my 7 step homeschool planner, but we moved back from overseas at a crazy time. Today, in sharing my free 2016 to 2017 year round homeschool planning form, I am excited to share the first color, which is powder puff for the next academic school year.

Also, keep in mind that my year round planning form doesn’t mean you have to school year round to use it. I have it set up year round because as homeschoolers we do seem, however, to be busy learning all year long.

Curriculum Pages for Planner

The academic year I follow is from July to June. The beauty of my planner is that you can make it at anytime of the year. So if you need to make your planner now, you can grab the previous school year planning form here.  Now you have the current academic year and with my newest form, you can plan for next academic year too.

The second thing I want to remind you of is that the year round planning form was not created as a calendar to note appointments.

I have a nice and large 2 page spread appointment keeper to add to your planner that is big enough to note appointments and field trips.

The form today is for planning your school year. I normally highlight or circle which weeks we will homeschool and then I track the days and weeks on this form.

And the best thing, I think anyway, is that I do several color choices and today is the first color choice for the next school year. I hope you like it.

March 31 Days of Dinner Ideas Menu

March 31 Days of dinner

This year one of my goals is to share with you my insider tips on how I stay organized when it comes to meal planning and that is planning for 31 days is the key. Hands down it beats other types of planning for several reasons. Sure you can plan for 7 days or 2 weeks, but I will share why 31 day meal planning is a huge sanity saver for me. Too, I am sharing my free March 31 days of dinner ideas menu.

31 Day Planning means Flexibility, Saving Money and Being Healthier. That Equals Smarter.

At the end of this post, you can grab two more 31 day meal plans, which are January and February. More on that in a minute because first I want to share another tip or two for meal planning.

I know planning for 31 days may sound like it is one more weighted thing to do on your growing to-do list when homeschooling.

However, nothing is more important than feeding your family meals that not only reflect your family’s unique likes, dislikes, allergies and must haves, but also you do not want to compromise their health while homeschooling for the long run.

It may not be one of the things that new bees think they will hear when they go through my workshops, but first on the list is organizing the living areas and shoring up the meal planning.

Sometimes it’s easier to homeschool and forget about the meals, believe me, I have been there.

It wasn’t because I wasn’t interested or didn’t know how to organize when I started homeschooling, I just didn’t realize that planning far out was the key.

Sure, it takes me another hour or so to meal plan for the whole month, but the return is SWEET.

What I mean by that is that some weeks end sooner than I want them to and then I’m faced again with a new grocery list and dinner ideas for the following week.

This is not the case with 31 days of dinner ideas because I have the next week planned for me.

So during the month, I normally have an hour or two that I can plan for the following month and the really sweet pay off is that I can plan in chunks during the month when I am in the mood.

The flexibility of planning for 31 days too is that contrary to what some may think, I have no problem switching around my ideas to fit the needs we have for the week. In other words, my dinner ideas on certain days aren’t etched in stone. BUT, to have that many ideas at my finger tips that my family loves is worth every ounce of energy I put into menu planning.

Stress has just been pushed wayyyyyyyyyyyy down low and living and savoring each day way up highhhhhhhhhhh.

Free 31 Days of Dinner Ideas

I’ll share some more tips next month too, but in the meantime, I am sharing my free March 31 days of dinner ideas menu.

This menu reflects the likes, dislikes and needs of my family. We love meat, we like variety and try to eat less beef, though we love it. We also, love different forms of vegetables and one pot dinners are a must for me while I homeschool.

Too, I share 31 days each month regardless if the month has 31 days or not because I want ideas and recipes that my family will eat.

Grab January dinner ideas along with an editable menu planner here.

(We repeated two meals in February because we didn’t have BBQ sauce like we liked in Ecuador or made chicken pot pie, so a couple of meals I repeated.)

Free 31 Editable Menu Planner. Because menu planning for a longer period of time makes you a smarter, healthier and better homeschool mom. @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

2017 Physical Year Calendar –2 Pages Per Month At A Glance

2017 Physical Year Calendar Dreaming 2 Pages at a Glance @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

Today, I am sharing the 2017 Physical Year Calendar –2 Pages Per Month At A Glance with you. It is the dreaming option.

What I am so passionate about in my 7 Step Homeschool Planner is to keep it ever changing with color options and functions.

That is part of the reason I luv using it each year.  But some things, like this color combination makes my heart go pitter patter too.

I know you love this color option, so I bring it back each year.

Curriculum Pages for Planner

Each month has a different color for the month name and on the note section, I kept the background white and bright.

It has a top right section, which is a task list.

Separating that from the bottom section which is more of a to do list for the month, it helps to divide priorities.

I tend to keep a running lists for tasks whether they are due that month or not.  And my to do for the month at the bottom is just that, things that need to get done by that particular month.  I think the reason I put that list at the bottom is that I am hoping it will go away too. {ha ha}

Whether you want to add an academic school year that runs from July to June {find them here on STEP 2. Option 2} or this physical year calendar for 2017 or you’re obsessed and using both like me, you decide what works for your unique planner.

Guess what? You can get it now for .99 cents!

Free 31 Days of Dinner Ideas (February) Organize with Me!

| 8 Comments

31 days of dinner menu

And yes, I know February doesn’t have 31 days, but I want you to have tons of dinner ideas at your fingertips! Today, in sharing my free 31 days of dinner ideas (February) organize with me post, I want to encourage you to take baby steps toward easing your homeschool load.

Free 31 Days of Dinner Ideas

Hear my heart. Menu planning may seem like one more thing in your whole long list of things to do to get organized, but homeschooling begins with the home.

That means making top priority your family and health. The result is a lighter homeschool load because things like cooking just fall into place when you have a plan.

When I get bogged down with menu planning or cooking, I have learned to step away from school for a day or even delay it for a few hours until I get a handle back on what is important.

Taking a baby step that is really huge meaning it’s a small step with a large payoff because having a plan each month you have a direction each week for what you are buying at the grocery store.

Too, by giving you a menu plan for the area I struggle with the most and maybe you too, which is dinner because I don’t want to think about what to make for dinner, I am hoping to help you to get dinner on the table faster, with meals your family likes.

So my menu plans each month reflect what my family likes to eat, but from it I am hoping to inspire you on to creative ideas for feeding your family.

Guess what? If you stick with me for the whole year, we will both have MORE than 365 dinners! Maybe we will make a cookbook together. (okay, okay)

Why Menu Planning for the Month Blows Away Weekly Planning

Back to a few more tips I want you to know.

  • Organizing for the month is so much more easier than the week. It takes about 20 or 30 minutes longer, but you get relief for the whole month. Have you noticed how fast the end of the week gets here? Before you know it, you have to menu plan AND lesson plan. No thank you. I want one of those huge tasks done. I don’t like beginning of the week stress.
  • Planning 31 meals for the month regardless of the days of the month gives you options and flexibility.
  • Monthly planning is for rebel cooks because contrary to what some people think, you are not stuck with having to cook what is on that day. No, you have 31 choices to choose from. Nobody said you have to cook what is on each day, unless of course you want to. Either way 31 day menu planning is about options! Give me 31. That is why this month and every month will have 31 days of dinner ideas and it has nothing to do with how many days are in the month. You always get to decide if you want to follow it to make the dinner idea each day or change it around and choose something else from the list.

I have a few more tips I will be sharing next time, but for now grab my dinner ideas below.
