All-In-One Homeschool Portfolio Notebook Printables – Updates

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog9 Comments

I recently shared about the way I planned out our new homeschool year and included some FREE printables to go along with it… they have made life a little neater around here! Now I will share about the Homeschool Notebooks. We did use a similar system many years ago but I couldn’t find the post where I had shared them before so I decided to make a new post with some updates and some new printables.

You do not need to print these out but you can use them as a template for putting together your own notebooks or you can print them out and use them in binders… whatever works for you. We have done both of these in the past and I will try to post some pics of what our current notebooks look like once we get them put together.

Try color-coding your kids to make homeschool life a little simpler!

2024 – 2025 Homeschool Planning

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog3 Comments

There are so many ways to go about planning out a school year but this is the easiest way I have found for me to do this as we don’t use any one site or curriculum. I am usually gathering materials and ideas throughout the year so I try to jot them down or put them in a special place until I am ready to sit down and plan out what we would like to use.

This year I used the ‘Arts of a Balanced Home Education’ List from Brightly Beaming Resources as a guide for helping me to plan… it went along well with a lot of the Charlotte Mason ideas I have been trying to implement in our routines.

Tax Time!

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

It’s the time of year when a lot of people are getting their taxes completed and some have started receiving their refunds… and some may be paying in a bit.

There is always a question of where to best spend that extra money… if you were on the receiving end. While this is an older post a lot of the information still applies and I thought I’d share it again just in case someone might’ve needed some ideas.

God Bless!

Free Party Planning Printables!

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog25 Comments

Whew! What a year we had in 2023. We definitely had some ups and downs and lots of crazy unexpected things but we were so blessed to have spent it surrounded by friends and family who loved us!

This year, I am determined to streamline a lot of my processes and make things a little less stressful… I long for the days when I was so organized and things seemed to go smoothly with little effort. I know a lot of that has been due to things we had going on so I’ve been working on getting things back on track here. I find that breaking big projects into smaller bite-size pieces helps me out a lot.

Around the holidays I started working on this packet to help me with my Holiday/Party Planning. I can print out a new packet or just make copies of a blank one and keep them in my Holiday Planner. Then I’ll be able to jot down notes and ideas as they come to me throughout the year which will hopefully make things a lot easier as the year goes on. I have also updated my calendar with reminders about checking on upcoming events.

Feel free to use these if you want, if not I’ll just leave them here so I can find them easily! There are some prefilled pages as well as some that have been left blank for you to customize to fit your needs.
