Reader’s Review: Wow! I have never been much of a “planner person” simply because I haven’t been able to find a planner that suits my needs. So, up until now, I have depended on 2 calendars- one for our family appointments and another for my review schedule; in addition, I have used several binders- one for our homeschool schedules and another for my grocery store lists and menu plans. After checking out this planner by Julie Forsythe, I think I might become a “planner convert”. -Heidi Strawser, E-Book Reviews Specialist, The Old Schoolhouse®

Reader’s Review: Let me give you a little bit of background on me before I give you my honest critique. I am a homeschooling/unschooling mom to a teenager, a Kindergartener and I also have a special medical needs baby. Like most unschooling moms, I am very busy! Always opening some learning door, always looking for the next cool experience, and always out of time! I am also a lists person. You may not be as adept at list making as I am, or as thrilled as I am to check things off, but I guarantee, if you have not found a helpful system before, you have now! Right off the bat, I knew this was a keeper! The last 40 or so pages are dedicated to, you got it, more lists! This gal has thought of EVERYTHING that could be useful in my daily life! Thanks Julie, your time and effort making this will cut down our wasted time! -Elissa Wahl
