First, I want to explain an difference between my husband and me. If you want to purchase my husband a gift, make it "toy". You know the saying, "The difference between a man and boy are the size (and price) of their toys!" On the other hand, I like more practical gifts; something I can use.
The Well Planned Day software meets both of our likes. It's a fun and functional program for homeschoolers!!
Unlike many online planners, this doesn't just handle school or doesn't just handle your home and schedule. It does both and more! There is Budgeting, Chores, Shopping, etc.
And the way it works for lesson planning is so cool! Here's a video to give you an idea of how it works.
Is that not cool!!
I will tell you I have two minor qualms. First, it's the brand-new beta, so there are tweeks or updates happening. Of course, it's all to make a better product, and they should become fewer and fewer. Second, in my state, we have to keep track of hours taught. There is no place to track hours right now, BUT I asked and they will be adding it after the 1.0 release which means any day now!
Thankfully, I can give you a discount code to receive $15 off the MWPD software price of $65. That means you can take care of you homeschool and home planning needs for only $50. I know you can spend that on just a lesson planner or a day planner alone, so getting both for only $50 is definitely a deal. The code is case sensitive, no spaces, and will expire on October 1, 2012. Are you ready for the code? Okay, here it is. 08wpdblog12 (It doesn't have to be color. I just wanted to make it stand out)

ReplyDeleteI love that you can move around lesson plans!!
ReplyDeleteI love that it is pretty! And that means a whole lot to me!!
ReplyDeleteI love that I will be able to plan for all 4 kids and that I can allow them to share curr without having to enter it all over again.

ReplyDeleteSchool could proceed, as long as we still have our books and internet access. ;)

ReplyDeleteThere are SO many things I love about this software, but I really love having everything (calendar, menu, homeschool planning, etc.) all in ONE place. And I can't wait for the iPad app to come out!!
ReplyDeleteI like that it is going mobile. Every app I've researched for mobile, just doesn't allow me to have very many functions or multiple kids. Sounds awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI love that it encompasses all of life, not just school work!
ReplyDeleteI love that I can do it from anywhere. On my phone, my tablet, and my computers. It's all I need in one place, from any place!
ReplyDeleteI love that it covers so many things! IT could take the place of the many, many notebooks I use to attempt to be organized!
ReplyDeleteI love that it isn't just a school planner. You can menu plan, budget, chore plan and so much more! I also love the little picture icons for the different curriculum/books! :)
ReplyDeleteThe best part to me is the convenience of having everything in one place. No more To-Do lists taped up to the fridge, a menu planner on the counter, a homeschooling notebook by the door. The idea of combining everything makes for a really well-planned day!
ReplyDeleteI like how customizable it is. Thankful they will be adding a way to track hours!

ReplyDeleteI love that it puts all my tracking needs in one place, then allows me to access that one place on my mobile!

ReplyDeleteI like that each family member can use it, that kiddo has his own spot! So handy!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many great things about this! I love that all my organizational needs are together on one program, like menus and schedules and bills! A little thing I thought was clever was their use of faces of family members to denote who is scheduled for what. :)
ReplyDeleteI like that I can easily plan my homeschool year with it.
