Editable Homeschool Curriculum Planner Cover

I get the best jabs from all of you when it comes to starting on a new project for my 7 step homeschool planner.  I have had some homeschool curriculum planner covers in what I call my brainstorming file that I wanted to make editable.  I wanted you to be able to make your planners even more personable by being able to type in your family name.

Editable Homeschool Curriculum Planner Cover

However, those covers have stayed just in my brainstorming file until today.  Because I want you to have the hottest planner ever I struggle often with planner perfection.  Thanks to Tania who emailed me and got me excited about that idea again.  I know too that when I use beautiful classic paid fonts on the design part of the cover, you have to use default fonts on your computer when a document is editable.

Being able to resolve in my mind 1) that you don’t mind downloading a free font and 2) that I can find a free font that pairs well with my paid fonts, I decided to go ahead and start with my first cover that has a place to type in your family name.

I have done all the work for you by choosing a free font that pairs with the paid fonts that I have on the cover.  You just need to be sure you know how to install fonts on your computer.  If you do not install the font I use on the document, a default font on your computer will be used and it could affect the way the cover looks. Important: This first cover has a box big enough for 9 characters. My last name is long so I used it for a sample.  If your last name is longer than 9 characters, please know that I will be creating more editable covers.

Too, this cover is undated, which is another nice feature for you.

Coral Inklings

Here is the first cover above and I have named it “Coral Inklings”.

The picture above is how it looks when you type in your family name.

Like I mentioned, there will be several cover choices coming! I can’t say when because I don’t create like that.  If you have been following me for a while, you know I have many luvs and curriculum planners is just one.  My inspiration comes at different times throughout the year.

Guess what? You can grab this latest cover for just $1.50.

For my email readers, I am linking my shop page too for you so you can grab it there because sometimes my post doesn’t get pulled through correctly.

I am so excited about unleashing this new set of covers and I hope it gives you some added spark to your homeschool planner.

Hugs and love ya,

School Year Goals Form – 7 Step Homeschool Planner

| 6 Comments

Zoom, zoom and the plan I had at the beginning of the year to tweak my goal sheet to make it a school year goals form quickly passed.  I still had it on my to do list and I finally got to it.

I hope you don’t mind if I squeeze in a few more forms for our planner before the school year.

When it gets to be June, I start hyperventilating dreaming of what I want to put in the planner for next year.

school year goals

I updated the form I did at the beginning of the year just a bit to make it fit for a school year and also because I needed a form for more general planning goals.

School Year Goals

Sometimes, I have more broad goals and not something that fits into exact educational objectives.  I just like having the options each year.  You know how I feel about that.

Too, sometimes I know, for me anyway, I tend to write down all that I want to do and have few reminders of what not to do for the year.  So the section I call “less of this” is just as important to me as I want to keep setting realistic goals each year.

This year though I am in a quandary about when to bind my planner.  On the one hand I don’t need another thing to pack and haul when we move.  Plus, I am not sure what kind of shape the planner would be in when we finally find us a new place.  But, then I get nervous thinking if there will even be a place to bind my planner if I wait to do it overseas.

I guess there could be more complex problems in moving overseas than finding a place to bind a curriculum planner, but I can’t think of any.

Enjoy the new form.

Hugs and love ya,

Free Academic School Calendar 2014-2015. 3 of 3 Choices.

I have the last choice, I think anyway, for the academic school calendar for your homeschool planner which includes some jeweled tone type of colors.  I get crazy wonderful sick anytime I create these printables for us and I am not sure I am finished creating yet.  I certainly don’t plan when I am done with my creativity, but I just kind of eye ball how many forms I think we need for the new year.

Curriculum Pages for Planner

Since I have a new cover this year called Blue Serenity, I think I needed a bit more blue.  Though I would never confess to you, sometimes I just end up including all the colors of my academic calendars in my planner.  Don’t follow my advice on that unless of course you are obsessed like I am with planners.  I make it hard on myself to choose which color to use because I keep making them.

2014-2015 academic calendar midnight

Though I know some of you like to make your planners early, I tend to wait so that I can include every page I can choose which pages I need for the year.

Today, I have created one more option for the academic calendar which I call Midnight.  So that makes 3 options and maybe we can make our minds up about which ones we want for our planners.  Do you know which ones you will include this year?

Curriculum Pages for Planner – Homeschool Planner–Free Inside Title Page

I am love, love, loving the fact that I have decided to spread my curriculum pages for planner printables throughout the year.  When the mood hits me and it hits often, I have to create and make my homeschool planner printables.  Sharing the new printables with you too is one of my favorite things to do because I hope you get as excited as I do.

Because my 7 Step DIY Homeschool Planner has been the product of many, many years to refine the core of it, I feel like now I can add those refining touches as it grows larger with more options.  From the beginning, I never wanted one curriculum planner with all the same pages to share with you knowing that everybody else has the same download.

I love options from year to year and I will continue to add them as I plod along.

Curriculum Pages for Planner

Today, I have the first printable for an inside title page.  It is one of those refinements or new sections.

I have switched over the years to keeper covers for the homeschool planner which means there are no more dated planner covers.  This allows you more choices to choose from each  year.

Homeschool Planner Inside title page

With that switch though, I know some of you have wanted some place to put the school year and maybe a few notes near the front of your planner.  Some of the homeschool planner covers allows you to edit and fill in the school year and some don’t.

Also, because you may want something between your front cover and where your papers actually start, I have created the first inside title page for this new section of the planner.  I haven’t decided where to place this new section of pages, but I will let you know shortly after I find an organized spot on my blog.  Probably, I will keep them on the same page as the front covers and back covers.  It kind of makes sense to keep them there.

7 Step DIY Homeschool Planner

The inside title page has a page for you to fill in the current school year and a place for your name.

You can use the lines below that to add other personal information or emergency contact information and/or to add some of your favorite quotes for the year.  I kind of left it generic meaning you may prefer to add other items and I didn’t want to hem you in to what I thought needed to go there.

And like all my forms, the inside title page will eventually have many font choices and colors and here is my first form.

Hope you like it.  I can’t wait to create my planner for next year, but by starting early now and adding the new forms, we will have plenty to select from.

Whoa, it’s been a while since I shared an inspirational quote.  You know how much I love them because they pack a punch of energy and I want my everyday filled always with lots of it.  I heart this one today.

There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle, or you can live as if everything is a miracle.”

~Albert Einstein~

So true!

A Little R & R

Free Homeschool Planner Cover

I am trying to stay ahead of the “moving curve” by sending out my planner forms for this year a tad bit early.  You know normally somewhere early spring I send out my updated forms.  I don’t want to take any chances though that my move overseas will interrupt you making your planner when it’s time.

But not only that, I have some other new forms besides the cover pages that I will be showcasing this year (hopefully) later.   I just wanted to give you a heads up about those new forms too in case I get interrupted by my move.

Curriculum Pages for Planner

I normally try to stick to my homeschool unit studies at this time of the year, but again my readers fall in the super smart category (call me biased) and I know I won’t confuse you by throwing hodgepodge topics at you right now.

I think what I am trying to say in a professional blogging way is: “GIRRRRL, I will be ALL over the place on my blogging topics as we get closer to putting up the house for sale!”

Blue Serenity Homeschool Planner

So today, I am excited to share the next newest Curriculum Planner cover.  I call this one Blue Serenity because it has that effect on me when I look at it.  Also, I have added the words “year round” as part of the title because most of us homeschool year round.

If you don’t actually homeschool year round, you do plan so I think anybody could really use it even if you take off for the summer.

One thing you will notice and that is I started leaving off my name at the bottom on a few of the forms.  It certainly is not because I am not claiming copyright, but I wanted you to have something personal and its hard to do that on some forms where a website is all over it.   Besides, I have you to tout about my planner and you know where my forms are at.  That is all that is important to me.

Though I have had copyright infringement on my planner forms by other bloggers claiming my forms (remember my 5 year list of holidays on one page where a blogger added her branding at the top and claimed it as her own), it has not dampened my enthusiasm to share with you.  I did follow up with that blogger and she removed my documents.

My focus is on you and I am undeterred in providing you with a hot planner.  One that you are proud of.

I hope you love the newest cover because I love ya.
