My Well Planned Day - Review and GIVEAWAY

It's that time of year for many of us!  A new homeschool year brings all kinds of excitement and......insanity.  Lesson plans, independent work assignments, logging literature read, grades, and educational activities.  Then, there is meal planning, grocery lists, appointments, sport practices, piano lessons, etc.

*SIGH*

Excuse me while I put my head back on straight.

I only have one child.  I tip my hat and curtsy to all of my fellow homie-schoolers who have multiple children.  I do not know how you do it.  But, I'm here to tell you about something that just might make it a whole lot more manageable.

My Well Planned Day software from Home Educating Family takes all the things everyone loves about their book planner and puts it in a software...and, of course, adds a few extra special touches.  This is not a download so don't worry about it taking up space on your (likely) already working hard computer.  You will be able to access your planner from any internet accessible device.  And, because Home Educating Family knows how busy we are they are already working on developing an app that will allow you to access your information even when you don't have internet access.  Sweet!

Here are just a few examples of what you will be able to do with your Well Planned Day software:

• Customize your look with 12 different color combinations
• Record attendance, lessons, assignments, grades, activities, and reports individually for all of  your children
• Upload pictures of your children to link to their personal file where you can customize their home education portfolio with the curriculum they are using and their own schedule and activities.
• Utilize the Home Management component to organize your budget, chores, shopping list, menu, calendar, and projects.

This is just a glimpse.  To get a more full picture, visit the website , go to their Facebook page, or watch the tutorial.

I was given the opportunity to use My Well Planned Day in order to prepare for this review and giveaway.  I was so excited because I had decided over the summer that this would be the first school year that I would use a planner.  I just didn't know which one!  There are so many facets to the software that it became apparent to me I would need the tutorial.  I am not super computer savvy and there is definitely a specific step by step process to input your specific curriculum, create lessons, and schedule assignments.  My desire and focus was in the area of homeschool lesson planning, tracking assignments, and grades.  So, at this point I have not even tapped into the Home Management portion of this comprehensive software.

It was a rough start for me.  It took about 3 trips on the tutorial ride in order to understand how to input my curriculum and set up assignments.  I won't lie.  I was frustrated.  But, once I got into the groove it was simple.  I've always been a paper and pencil kind of gal.  Even my datebook is a good ole spiral bound and not on my smartphone.

My Well Planned Day would be the PERFECT tool for a multi-child home, for a parent needing support for home management (budget, meal planning, etc.), or for someone who really prefers computer tools instead of traditional paper tools.  For the low price of $65 for a year membership, it is a good investment to meet these needs.  PLUS, there is a 30 day money back guarantee (minus a 10% processing fee).  I always respect when a company offers a great guarantee.

HERE IS A SPECIAL GIFT JUST FOR MY READERS!!!!!
