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)

I like the changeable skins. It makes it fun!
I like that everything can be planned in one place...chores, appts, school, etc:).

Hi Shari! Looks like things are working right now. Let me know if you have any more problems.
Thanks!
I like that you will be able to print stuff out to save a hard copy.
Having everything in one place would be great!
I really like that it includes school & home.
I think this program looks wonderful!!
I like that it is so easy to have each child's curriculum in one place and that you can automate lesson plans. WOW! Love this!
I love the way it keeps everything together.
I really liked that it has everything in one place: schedule, finances, to do list, etc.
I like how it is covers so many areas, homeschooling, the household management, etc.
I'm just really excited that I'll be able to keep track of everything on my iPad!! No more using multiple apps, paper planners, etc!
I love the lesson planning!
This looks awesome!
I love that I can use it to keep track of the kids stuff, school stuff, and household stuff all in one place instead of multiple programs and apps.
I like you can do everything in one place. It is kind of like a one stop shop.
I just love that it's really an all-in-one planner. I really need something where I can keep track of everything all in one spot. Really hope to win!
I love that I can catalog my resources!
I like that it has curricula already loaded in for you to choose from- so you're not entering the same things over and over!
I love that you can move around lesson plans!!
I love that it is pretty! And that means a whole lot to me!!
I 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.
I like that it isn't stored on my computer, where, Heaven forbid, it could get destroyed.
School could proceed, as long as we still have our books and internet access. ;)
I like that it's digital and include home management with school stuff.
There 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!!
I 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!!
I love that it encompasses all of life, not just school work!
I 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!
I love that it covers so many things! IT could take the place of the many, many notebooks I use to attempt to be organized!
I 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! :)
The 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!
I like how customizable it is. Thankful they will be adding a way to track hours!
Wow! This would be such a help to organizing our busy home and school for our four young boys! I love the ability to create schedules for individual students!
I love that it's accessible from amywhere and that it incorporates homeschool and home management! Wonderful for my type a personality :)
I like the library data base for adding curriculum and the customization of the product.
I love that it encompasses ALL of life, not just the home education side of life. :)
I love that it's for home & school! Plus it's pretty!!!!
I love that it can be used with multiple students and accessible anywhere.
I like that I can use it with my Android tablet!
Honestly, i love that it's pretty! I used pages on my ipad (and uploaded to evernote) but this is so much prettier! And pretty matters to me :)
I'd love to win this, Betsy! It looks like they've thought of everything!
I love the customization (pretty skins) and you can track each child separately.
I love that you can keep track of school and home
I LOVE the fact that it is digital... no more paper monsters leaving tracks around my home.
I love how it looks and how everything is one place. I can schedule the house and the kids all in one place.
I like that it will have a mobile app and that eventually there will be a feature that makes it sync with google calendar. My hubby really wants me to start using google calendar along with him!
I love that it puts all my tracking needs in one place, AND on my mobile!
I love that it puts all my tracking needs in one place, then allows me to access that one place on my mobile!
I like how it integrates managing home AND homeschool activities! Thanks for offering this giveaway!
I really like everything about this software, but since we are in the preschool stage of homeschooling, the home management features currently trumps the rest.
I love that I can do all of my planning in one place.
I like that each family member can use it, that kiddo has his own spot! So handy!
There 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. :)
I like that I can easily plan my homeschool year with it.
