CLOSED ~ GIVEAWAY: The Well Planned Day Planner

Share & Help Me Grow

I am so excited to announce the very first giveaway here on Growing Up Homeschooled and cannot believe that it is from Home Educating Family Publishing!

The Well Planned Day

With four children, a busy husband, and a home business, I often feel like I am chasing my tail. When you add sleep deprivation (courtesy of my five month old) to the stress of the day, I easily forget important details like appointments, birthdays, and website passwords. I knew that I needed a planner but wondered if I could find one that would include everything I needed because I only have room for one planner in my Mom-purse.

The Well Planned Day was the answer to all of my issues… except maybe the sleep deprivation, but with all the handy features, I definitely will not be losing sleep due to unnecessary stress.

Focused on the homeschool teacher and mom, this planner is packed with so much, I doubt I could show you everything.

My favorite feature might be hard to pick but there are several things which I appreciate tremendously. For instance, I love that it includes space for me to chart out my household duties for the week. I cannot begin to count the number of times I have jotted this on a legal pad only to lose the legal pad. Having it inside my planner will definitely help keep me on track.

The most brilliant piece of this planner would have to be the perforated shopping lists. Instead of trying to remember what we need from the store, I can make a list right inside my planner. When I am ready to go to the store (or ready to send Bill to the store), I can just detach the list. You get six lists for each month.

What else is in this planner?

  • Each month at a glance
  • A weekly breakdown with space to write lesson plans
  • Pages for attendance, grades, and progress reports
  • Daily schedules for the teacher and each student
  • Perforated chore cards and report cards
  • Holiday planning including activities, gift ideas, shopping and Christmas cards
  • Monthly financial budget
  • Space for weekly dinner menu planning and priorities
  • Monthly accountability for reading lists, field trips and bills
  • Listing for important contacts
  • Suggested Scripture to read each day
  • Encouraging Scriptures and quotations each week
  • And more!

While this planner is the most comprehensive I have personally encountered, I will be making some minor alterations to make it more functional for me.

  1. I will be gluing a ribbon to the back page to use as a bookmark so I can have a holding place for where we are in the year.
  2. I also want to attach tabs to mark where each month starts for easy flipping when I am scheduling appointments.
  3. A pocket inside the front and back pages would be helpful for keeping up with my coupon envelopes, but I would probably just accumulate clutter so it is probably a good thing that they are not available.
  4. Since I am on the internet so much, I wish it had more space for websites and passwords but I will probably just make a list and tape it onto that page.

When I first saw this planner, I knew I had to have it and now that I have it, I love it. But, before you get green with envy, remember that you can have one too!

About Tabitha

Hi! I'm Tabitha! But, I bet you expected someone named "Penny." Long story made short, Penny is the coupon binder I started in 2010 when we were totally broke... as in BANKRUPT. Now, as a mom of five, I make 6-figures a year working at home and share ways to help you move from penny to profit while you raise a family with sense on cents.

    I think the bundle packs from Home Educating Family with the Binder & planner look cute & useful. I also really like the magazines.

  2. Tori Palmer says

    I “liked” HomeEducating Family Magazine and Well Planned Day Homeschool Planner on Facebook.

  9. crystal roberts says

    I love the idea of this planner and it would be so helpful, as I am only in my 2nd year of homeschooling, I realize just how scattered brained I am…haha!

  15. Amanda says

    I had seen them at the THSC Convention. Loved it! I browsed around and saw the student planners. I’m sure I will love those when my kids are old enough to teach them how to plan out their day. Can’t wait to get my hands on one!

  16. Cheryl says

    Being OCD like I am, I love, love, love this planner. There are many items on the website I like but this tops the list. There is a place for everything to be written down and kept all together. Wonderful for homeschooling, grocery shopping, planning, cleaning, and the list goes on. What a great give-a-way! 🙂

  17. Sarah H. says

    I love everything about this planner but sadly since it’s our first year it’s out of my budget right now. So I pray I win it!!!

  21. BlessedCP says

    I visited the site and found many things I liked. I have already graduated 3 homeschooler children and have another just starting highschool this year. I love how the high school binder can be a 1, 2, 3 or 4 year planner!
    I also love the mom planners and how beautiful they are.

  32. Elyse says

    I also like the binder/planner combo. It seems the binder has a lot of your “alterations.” I agree with them too; I like tabs for my calendar.

  39. Laurel Cooper says

    I think the Well Planned Day Combo is cute and very practical =) The Magazine looks Informative also

  59. Robin E. says

    I have been interested in purchasing this planner, but haven’t done it yet. I’ve read great things about it and I also think I’d like the On the Go Planner, too. Thanks for the giveaway!

  60. Abria Leake says

    I think the planners for middle and high schoolers are great! I’m just starting with littles, but I sure wish someone had taught me to plan!

  74. Becky Slamer says

    I went to the website. I used the well planned day planner last year & loved it. I want one for this year. I love the Bundle Package # 2 with the Well Planned Day Planner and Swirls and Floral Binder.

    I love the student planners! I’d love to get my kids into the habit of planning and making the most of their time.

  78. Becky Slamer says

    I read Motherhood is a Calling (And Where your Children Rank) on the Home Educating Family Publishing Blog. Great perspective! Love it!

  84. Nicole says

    Read the articles on your “C” day – linked to the ABC preschool – looks like a great resource!

  98. Dacia says

    I read ‘College Bound’ on the HEFP blog. Good quote to ponder and share with my children that are growing up way too fast!
