I love the planner. I love having the combination of checklists, forms. The introduction and preliminary mental work were helpful in getting me in the right frame of mind before planning our school year. I often get sidetracked with other people's agendas and opinions, so this is a great way for me to start. I like having the book recommendations within the planner. I hope to read them soon; I have two. Knowing why you recommend them was helpful, too... This planner walked me through areas I haven't done with other hs planners, including creating my profile and using my own spiritual gifts, etc. Love it because I feel guilty about pursuing them sometimes but then resentful. The daily journal may end up being a favorite in time. I am so hard on myself about not getting so much done. This will help me see that we are accomplishing something. I am so thinking once my son starts reading/writing that it might be a way to encourage him to do more. Also, seeing the box "What did I do today that was successful" is a big need for me. I don't see myself as successful, so this will help me to be intentional about finding that success in my day.

The Lifeschooling Vision Planner is an essential resource for any homeschool mom who desires to surrender her homeschool to God’s leading and to embrace a culture of learning from real life. From brainstorming pages to questions to consider, recommended resources and personal testimonies, Danielle gently leads you to discover how God has uniquely wired not only your children but you as teacher/guide and your family as learners together. The planner includes scheduling sheets for the type A mama and journaling pages for the more relaxed. There is something for everyone here and the freedom to organize (or not organize) your homeschool journey the way God leads. I am enjoying the clarity that God is giving me as I step back and plan according to His plan for my family homeschool.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Lifeschooling Vision Planner! It is so much more than a planner, it gets you ON FIRE for your homeschool and it helps you to align what is truly important in your life and family with your homeschool. There are some great resources like book recommendations and worksheets to help you work through your vision on paper- she even provides her own examples to help you along the way. Probably my favorite thing of all is the encouraging Bible verses that are written beautifully throughout the planner that speak life into your soul. This planner is definitely worth ever penny and then some! I meant every single word of this review. You have created a wonderful product that I am sure will make a huge difference in a lot of lives and homeschools! Thank you!!

The Lifeschooling Vision Planner is not a "planner" like I have seen before! It is not just another collection of blank planning sheets, calendars, and forms that you can find for free just about everywhere. It is more of a step-by-step guide to understanding your children, to understanding your educational goals for them, and to recognizing the learning opportunities that happen every day. (It's 40 pages of content and planning pages!) And yes, there are useful forms and planning pages included, along with some samples of how they may be used. The Lifeschooling Vision Planner is a Christian homeschooling planning guide for those who lifeschool in particular. I am writing this in the middle of my first "official" (as in turning in paperwork to my district) year of homeschooling. I live in a state that has more homeschooling laws/guidelines than most others, and no, I probably will never classify my children's education as "lifeschooling". However, I love the idea of lifeschooling and believe that I can/do/will incorporate those concepts in our homeschool. Danielle did a wonderful job of putting this resource together, and I know it will help me design a better and more thorough education for my kids.

I was thrilled to receive The Lifeschooling Vision Planner as promised during The Lifeschooling Conference. I had been looking forward to its release because while I was very interested and excited about the whole concept of Lifeschooling, it was still a little hard to wrap my brain around. I needed a little “handholding” and was looking for ideas about how this actually worked! I knew we needed a little “structure” as we ventured out into Lifeschooling. I felt a little lost without a plan for these more “relaxed“ days. The Lifeschooling Vision Planner has met that need, and more! It is that tool I needed as I seek direction for how to meet each child’s needs, along with our family’s goals, in this relaxed, Lifeschooling style while still feeling organized and productive.
