Free Deluxe Homeschooling Digital/Printable Planner




I wasn’t going to post these until later in the year, But with the large amounts of parents now thrust into the world of homeschooling, I decided to post it now. 

First... Welcome to home teaching. We all start teaching our children from the moment their born. We teach them how to eat, how to communicate, how to walk. It simply doesn’t stop once they enter the school system. 

Having to teach them math, reading, history... seems to scare all of us. 
Here Is a secret to teaching... Curriculum. We all use a curriculum... to some extent. Teachers use curriculums.

Now, the curriculums shouldn’t trap you....thats the difference between homeschooling and conventional schooling. The teachers have to adhere to standards and topics. At home, if we’re learning about something and my child is interested in one aspect of it, we can pause and dig deeper. For example, my daughter loves science and loved learning about elements. So we paused, memorized all the elements via a song on YouTube and I purchased a book about every element from our local museum. We sang the song and read about a few elements a day. It was fun. Then we went back to our regularly scheduled curriculum. FREEDOM!!!! 

One way to stay organized is with planners. I use a planner, teachers use a planner and many parents use a planner.

I created these homeschool planners for the students. 2 are more boy-ish and 2 are girly. You can use these in any PDF editor. If you want to, you can print these if you prefer and write in your child’s work. I also added a section for chores and memories. If you use these digitally, you can drop in pictures and keep track of all your homeschooling fun. These were originally created for homeschoolers but since we have a large group of new homeschoolers, I’m going create a screen video of how to use these.

I have also included attendance template. You can drop in what ever colors your child wants...or what you want. I have also included 33 weekly templates...Let’s say that again... 33 weekly Templates. Why so many?? I love colors and choices... I love having seasonal templates. I have spring, summer, winter, Fall, colors. I have Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Halloween colors...all the fun colors for the year. Again, I love choices and colors.


Many will ask, “Why are you giving these away for free?”

I do realize that I can sell these.
I am seeing such generosity in this trying time. I am seeing companies giving out free monthly memberships to websites for parents. I’m watching people and neighbors in my community come together to provide lunches and meals to those families who depend on the school system for meals. I’m watching our true love for one another!
Yes, I’m also seeing greed but the love is overwhelming.

“And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”
 1 Colossians 3:14


Many of my graphics are from Chantahlia’s Design. This woman is amazingly generous with all her graphics. They’re all free!! Because she is so generous, I can be generous!!

In this hard time, be a light. Love people, do what you can to help and keep on trusting the Lord.

If you’re nervous about homeschooling your child, then you’re on the right track. It’s an important responsibility. I’ve been homeschooling for over 20 years and I’m always second guessing myself. This spurs me on to do more research. To learn things I NEVER thought I would, but I’ve also found that I enjoy this now more than ever!!

I also created a Digital “Zone” cleaning Planner, FREE

Digital Recipe Planner!



I did it!! I created a recipe planner! This may not be too exciting for you, but for me, I’m THRILLED!! 
I have been trying to find a digital recipe planner for myself. I was willing to buy one. Every time I thought I found one, I would get upset because I would have to scroll through each recipe in every section. I wanted one where each recipe was linked. 
I wasn’t able to find any, so I created one for myself! 
I’m so excited to be offering this on my blog for FREE!!! 
They’re easy to make and I really enjoy making them. 
Mine has 12 top tabs for your recipe sections and each section page has 20! Links for individual recipes!! This is what I was looking for. 
This took some time to make because of all the links but it was worth it. 
On the side tabs I have a section for new recipes. These are the recipes you copy and paste there to try BEFORE adding it to your recipe planner. You can add links the websites on that pages, etc. 
Meal plan... speaks for itself. Then I have a conversations section which is blank and you can add your own and finally a notes section. 

When you download this file the top tabs are blank so that you can add in YOUR recipe sections and customize it for yourself. You will then add the title to your section page. (Picture below) 

Once you have your recipe planner all organized you can add in 20 LINKED recipes for every section. Simply add in your title to the box and then click on the circle to get to the recipe. 

The video below shows you how to navigate the planner on whatever PDF editor app you chose. 


These planner pages can also be printed out. These are in Landscape form and are easy to print. If you don’t like having your ipad in the kitchen, simply print out the recipe. It’s that easy. 

Some Tips for Recipe Organization: 
* Once you download the PDF file you can install as many copies as you want. 
*Take your favorite recipes, the ones you use weekly and add those to your planner FIRST!! 
*If you don’t have room for those other recipes, the ones you don’t use too often, use another planner for those. 
*Have fun organizing these anyway you want or need! 

***Please do NOT share this file with anyone directly. Please send them here to this blog. I don’t make any money on my planners but the more clicks I get, the more advertising , the more money I could potentially make in the future. Thank you!! 

I love anything to do with organizing and digital design. Being able to create digital planners and notebooks simply brings that together in one incredibly useful hobby.
