Tanya, using your planner as a memory book of your homeschool is seriously brilliant! You've given me so many ideas of how to apply this in my own life. Thanks for the inspiration friend!
Aw, thanks! I'm glad it was helpful. Once I realized that I was never going to reminisce over what chapters we read or what worksheet pages we did that day, I just started recording ideas, large concepts, and fun projects/shows/discussions. It's been my favorite year of homeschool planning, and I look forward to having the extra space in the Schoolnest planner.
This was so helpful. I had looked at this planner and thought there were some things I would love and some things not so much... put I love the way you have customized it. Thanks for all the ideas and tips!!
Have you ever considered designing your own planner? You alter every planner I've seen you use so much. LOL. I think our brains work very similarly, but I don't ever take the time to do as much customizing . If you made a planner --people would buy it.
That is such a great compliment! I wish I had any graphic design skill. Maybe Megan will indulge me one day and design something beautiful that aligns with my brain and yours. 💚 In the meantime, I love how open-ended this planner is!
This is great I just put this in my cart yesterday actually perfect timing and I didn't know she had a instagram channel i just thought this was a planner people were liking off amazon for the simplicity. Lol so awesome !!!!
Megan is one of my favorite people! She shares so many beautiful things of value - and lots of hilarious things as well. Her Instagram account is @schoolnest.
📝Tanya, it was nice to do a collab with you!!!! I agree, we need to do more this year. #plannerfriendsforlife 🤓 I loved seeing your set up and how you transitioned it from a smaller bullet journal to this bigger homeschool planner. I like all the space and flexibility this planner offers. I need to add washi tapes to my months, that would make it look so good!!! I'm just not sure how much space it might take up since my planner page is 7x9. 🤔
I just discovered the Pilot Frixion erasable pens and highlighters. Total planner game changer! I love to write in color but having to scratch something off gave me anxiety lol. No more pencils for me.
I LOVED this video! Thank you so much for sharing. I had 2 questions…. - how do you find time to keep up with the recording/journaling? I have 3 kids too, a little bit younger than yours, and I am in awe. - how do you add pages to a spiral bound planner? Thank you again! My favourite thing about this video was how sincere and genuine it all seemed 💛
What a nice compliment! Thank you. In terms of keeping up, I like this form of taking a couple of days to set up the planner and then simply jotting down notes and observations throughout the school day. If I leave it til the end, it often doesn't get done. And this planner comes with a bound spine, so I actually had the copy shop slice off the binding and add a spiral coil. I could have added pages before they spiral bound it. Instead, I opted to paste sticker pages of my own printouts over existing pages. But if you are starting with a spiral bound planner, you may simply unwind the coil, add pages (after hole punching with something like a ProClick), and then rewind the coil. Hope that helps!
I would call and ask first - some copy stores no longer cut bindings off because of the glue residue on their cutting machines. But I have never had an issue with finding a few who still do it.
We have really enjoyed Wonderfilled Nature - it is not secular, but I find it easy to skip over the religious portions. We do the live SQUILT program, and it has been great. If you can't do it on a consistent basis, though, I think the calendar subscription would be a better value.
Would love to know more about the printed calendar you added on the inside of each month overview.. you showed it from the bujo… they were two smaller calendars… and you mentioned they were programs… I believe music and something else was involved… sorry to vague, but thank you in advance for the info :)
If you search for 4:1 pitch spiral binding coils, you should be able to find whatever diameter coil you’re looking for. 4:1 pitch will generally fit the ProClick holes. I didn’t bind this planner myself, I took it to an office supply store and they did it for me.

Using sticker pages to add in things is genius!! I love how you set this up and I plan to do something very similar. I really enjoy this planner ❤
Thanks so much! 😊 Glad it was helpful.
Thanks for sharing!
I don't know how I missed this video!! Thanks for sharing!

@@ProjectHappyHome I absolutely will.
I really like that you combine planning with memory keeping. It adds another dimension to the traditional planner doesn’t it.

This was so very helpful! I have this calendar but I love how you are using it, so I can’t wait to try out a few things
Glad it was helpful!
Had to grab some of the washi - thanks for the code. Your planners always inspire me!
Best review ever. Our homeschools are similar

We should do a midyear update in the spring!

Haha I was thinking this whilst watching too.
Will the copy store cut the original binding or just add the punch and spiral?
I would call and ask first - some copy stores no longer cut bindings off because of the glue residue on their cutting machines. But I have never had an issue with finding a few who still do it.
Do you happen to know what size binding spiral they used?
I’m not positive, but I think about 1.5-1.75 inches
How do you enjoy wonder filled nature days? Do you do the live squilt or the curriculum?
We have really enjoyed Wonderfilled Nature - it is not secular, but I find it easy to skip over the religious portions. We do the live SQUILT program, and it has been great. If you can't do it on a consistent basis, though, I think the calendar subscription would be a better value.
Do you have an update of this video? I really love this video. X
I’ll be doing an update in June!
@@ProjectHappyHome good morning 💐 did you make an update of this planner? I would love to see it if you did ❤️
What was the link for the common core standards? :) that is a great idea
Thanks for the reminder! I've added it to the video description.
@@ProjectHappyHome Thank you!!
Where can I find that curriculum progress page with the flags ? Is it a printable ?
It's actually part of the planner.
Would love to know more about the printed calendar you added on the inside of each month overview.. you showed it from the bujo… they were two smaller calendars… and you mentioned they were programs… I believe music and something else was involved… sorry to vague, but thank you in advance for the info :)
The calendars are from Wonder-Filled Days and SQUILT. :)
Do you have a video that talks about your transition to a yearly schedule?
No, but I hope to discuss it in my next homeschool update video
@@ProjectHappyHome yep we talked about this on Instagram
May I ask where you purchased these bigger spirals? I haven't been able to find larger spines compatible with Proclick.
If you search for 4:1 pitch spiral binding coils, you should be able to find whatever diameter coil you’re looking for. 4:1 pitch will generally fit the ProClick holes. I didn’t bind this planner myself, I took it to an office supply store and they did it for me.
