Homeschool Student Planner {plus Free Printable}
August 23, 2016 By
SEE NEW POST WITH UPDATED PLANNERS HERE! With this being our first year full-time homeschooling, I knew I needed a plan in place.

August 25, 2015 By
Written by Lydia @ Frugal, debt free life, Contributing Writer A school bus rolled by my house this morning. I was sitting at my desk reading my emails, sipping a cup of coffee when I heard the tell tale sound of a diesel engine rumbling down the road. Is it back to school time already?

Even for those of us whose children aren’t yet school-aged (or in my … [Read more...]

Do you remember your first days of school as a child? I remember it being the like night before Christmas, I was so excited I could hardly sleep.
