Definitely get the bigger one next time. I use the same layout! I use the large size in that same layout. And then I also get a smaller daily planner so I don't feel overwhelmed looking at my whole week. Lol. Each morning I fill in the 1 day sheet in my smaller size daily layout. :)

I’ve been a faithful plum paper homeschool momma for YEARS! You picked a hardcover, but they do offer the waterproof plastic style cover that you can put your own text on! A friend of mine initially couldn’t get used to the plum paper quality when coming from EC, but now she’s converted and loves it more!! I only do 1 planner for everything too… that’s enough to keep up with in my day as a mom of almost 11! 😆

I like the way you have your planner later out. I enjoy seeing how other homeschool moms have designed their layouts, it gives ideas for future planners! I added two extra lines pages for each month to my planner that way I can write a small progress report for how my children are doing in their studies. Thank you for showing your new planner.

Passionate penny pincher is a little pricey but I LOVE it! It’s everything you need. Budget, chores, to do lists. Even has checklists already in it for vacation, Christmas and things.

I switched to Plum Paper Planner this year and I LOVE it! I was able to pick the cover and put our homeschool name and school year on the cover. Mine also has a plastic cover over the front and back to protect the cover/back pages. I picked the biggest size(I believe there are 3) so so I had bigger boxes to fill in. I also added the scrapbook section to the back, and my kids use their Sprocket to put pictures in the back. I added a note page section.

You can customize the cover with your name.

I've been using PP planner for 3yrs and I'm still learning ALL the options they offer!! I do still have an EC for my health tracking. I still love their paper vs pp but everything else planner wise ,plum paper is very nice too.

Yay, a planner video, you’re speaking my love language! (My YT channel is mainly about planning 😊)Lol. I’ve used many planners, Happy Planner, In The Leafy Tree Tops, Passionate Penny Pincher, maybe even more. I actually love them all, however, they’re never in the order I want, or have what I really need. So I ultimately go with Happy Planner and I make my own inserts and weekly pages. Mainly because I can customize it as I go and as the seasons change throughout the year as life happens. Plus I like the changes too. As much as I’d love to stick with one layout the whole year, I just love creating my own planner pages and using my own stuff. I really look forward to hearing how this goes for you and maybe a little after the pen flip through at some point. Thanks for sharing!!!
