I still have not found that "perfect" planner. I have contacted Erin Condren (who makes AMAZING planners for teachers - just not for homeschoolers) to see if she and her crew would be willing to create a planner that I can really love using. So far, they are taking it under consideration. Hmm. Once again, I am left to my own devices to create something that I'm going to enjoy using and is also beautiful as well. The sad part is, I cannot afford the printer cartridges it's going to require for me to print all this off, as well as the binding process that would really make my planner to resemble something that was mass marketed. Ah well. Part of the process of homeschooling, I suppose, is letting go of the posh and stylized way things are done and rely on the more simplistic, homemade approach to the way of life. The city girl in me still has a hard time with this way of life sometimes (my father wants us to make our patio furniture out of pallets...my Crate and Barrel tastes have a hard time digesting something actually make out of a crate and barrel). I digress - back to the planner. I'm trying really hard to cope with the idea that I'm making my own planner and I'm trying to accept the fact that, although it is not as professional, it is still lovely - I think. Sigh...I don't know.
This is what they look like, but I'm thinking that I'm going to have to fix it. There's something that still isn't quite right...
