Finding the time to plan!

It has occurred to me lately that I do not seem to have the time to plan my homeschool days.  So, I decided to try something new.  I wake up and fix myself some tea, get back into my bed and plan my day or catch up on different school stuff the first thing in the morning for about an hour.  Enough time to finish my tea and feel a little more sane before I start my day.  I beginning to realize that I need this time so that I am a better mommy and teacher for the day. We shall see if this continues to work in my life.

Planning my Homeschooling Year

Okay,

Its that time of year when I have to plan my homeschooling.  This year we are trying something different, we are going to be using Sonlight Curriculum as a guide.  I usually piece a curriculum together but with the 5th baby, I need something a little more manageable.  Sonlight is great!  It plans everything out for you and as long as you know to use it as a tool and not be a slave to the schedule, then it is an awesome curriculum to use.
