That's probably true. The curric I am using (oak Meadow) starts with the late 1800's. I'm assuming it will go backwards a bit each year. I want to compliment our curriculum with SOTW but don't want to be reading a completely different time period. I'm finding oak Meadow doesn't have enough info in it for history, and need a more inclusive guide because our library is very small and I have a hard one finding good living books

Has anyone read story of the world in reverse order? Volume 4 modern times 1850-2000 first. Then volume 3, volume 2, and finally volume 1 ancients.

Thanks for the reply! Yes, it is definitely the color that is making the price skyrocket, but the whole beauty of this planner is in the colors and graphics. I think for next fall I will purchase some in bulk like you say, but since this "season" of homeschool planners is practically over I can't afford to do that and have them go unused. Even in bulk, the local printing companies are only giving a 20% discount, which is still more than I could charge even without profiting. I guess for this year I will just not have printed planners as an option and do some research before next year. xoxo

I created a homeschool planner, (a file you print and bind yourself). But my customers are wanting a printed planner as well, and the quotes I'm getting are around $90! I've checked local printing companies, fedex, office max, and more. I can't imagine it is that much to print and bind this thing! It is 69 pages double sided (so 138 total) and a simple spiral binding. Suggestions?

I ordered June 1 and got my stuff July 1.

This is exactly what I have a problem with! If you post anything not roses and sunshine, they will delete your comment! And that is not right.

We did my well planned day, and it never really worked properly so we quit. It still doesn't work properly from what I have read on Facebook and others. It's sad because it could have been an awesome program but they tried to come out before they were ready, and actually charged people money for a product that doesn't work. I found an iPad app called homeschool helper and I love it! It's so easy to use, has everything I need, and is only $2.99 I think! I do wish I could sync it on cloud and have it on multiple devices, but I almost always have my iPad when we are doing school anyway. Before the app, I loved the free planning pages I got with our preschool curric (also free) from weefolkart.com

we use the wheat, but it tracks everywhere. currently in search of a low/no tracking litter.

I'm 31, with 3 kids and I LOVE my diva cup. It makes me not dread, or even care about my period. I have less cramps, and it seems shorter, also. I wear backup at night (mama cloth - which are cloth pads) and during that heavy first day or so. If you check ebay they usually have them pretty cheap. That is where I got mine.

I love this! I've got some lowes gift cards burning a hole in my pocket! lol

I run an online retail business, selling cloth diapers and such, but it doesn't actually bring in much income, so I don't consider myself a work at home mom in that sense. I also sew for profit, but again, not much money or time.

My daughter will be 7 this month, and I want to have her start helping more around the house. She is very helpful, and will clean her room, etc. but I have been reading that people have children cooking/baking/cleaning. So I'm wondering, what kind of things do your children help with?

I can't help but be a little miffed that they are having people pay to test this for them. I thought their beta testing should have taken care of that. And I don't see why they won't offer a 30 day trial. I need to play with something before I can commit to buying it. Especially since it is a yearly fee. I'll wait it out, but I am interested in this olly! They do offer a free 30 trial and it's for Mac! I'm very much a Mac person, I just wonder if it is syncable. (so I can see it on my iPad and my iMac).

Im thinking I'll be waiting until closer to August. It's only a year subscription, so if I start it now, I'm paying for months I won't be able to use it, since all the features aren't there and it's so rough. I would rather wait until they have it worked out, and get a full 12 months of use. I believe it is $40 until close to the end of august. It stinks, because I'm a planner and like to have things done in advance. (especially since this baby is coming any day) I was so looking forward to this, even telling everyone about it, but I've been disappointed ever since the launch went haywire.
