FREEBIE :: Daily Homework Planner

Hi friends!  It’s Wendy here from Scrappy Bags today.  This post is completely different from any other posts that I have shared.  Since the first day of school is on the horizon (and some of you may have already started), I thought this would be the perfect time to share with you a homework planner that has come in quite handy at our house.

The middle school years have been quite an adjustment for our son.  He is now going in to 8th grade, but 6th and 7th grades were difficult.  He has been diagnosed with ADD and it adds a whole new level to navigating the world of homework.  A lot of nights started out with him not knowing what was expected of him, or he didn’t bring the right items home to complete his work.   Needless to say, this was very stressful for both him and us.  Imagine trying to figure out what the homework assignments are when you’re not at school with him and he forgets to write down his assignment.  Not fun!

With the help of his wonderful teachers, we put together a homework planner that he completes at the end of each school day before he comes home.  The planner helps him make sure that he has his assignments written down and brings home the items that he needs to complete his assignment.  This has helped tremendously!  It’s not 100% foolproof, but it has helped relieve a lot of the stress at homework time in our house.

I am sharing this planner for download here.  Have your kiddos give it a try if they’re struggling with organization skills at school.  It’s a great tool, even if you don’t have ADD!   Here’s to a great school year!

{Organizaton DEAL} Discount on Erin Condren products

Hello everyone!

I am so EXCITED to share a little something with you all.

I have a NEW LOVE!!!!

Back in late fall, a couple of my friends (caryl & aimee- THANK YOU) were talking about these FABULOUS planners & I HAD to find out what all the buzz was about!! I ordered one because I INSTANTLY fell in love with the graphics, the colors, the layouts, the concept, the pages, the  . . . well . . .EVERYTHING about erin condren's products!

I couldn't WAIT to get it because well . . .once you start looking at the website, you are IN LOVE! Just the WHOLE process of ordering was a BLAST!

Knowing that my planner is made CUSTOM just for ME?! It doesn't get any better than that! I got to pick my cover, colors & say what? Pick the pattern I want in the choices I want, for THE cover???? Say whaaaaaat!  Ummm . . ok! Let's do that!!! Hot pink & lime green please! Have I mentioned how much fun ordering is??? It IS!!! And once you get done with their VERY easy ordering process, they actually give you a approximate 'ship date' which I haven't decided is good or not because I am not sure my mailman appreciated the CONSTANT stalking I was doing while I was waiting. Even though I KNEW approximately when it would be there, ya never know - (LOL) . . it COULD come earlier! =)
