Hi Reader!

🎉 EXCITING NEWS! Our 2025-2026 Once Upon a Homeschool Planner is in its final stages of editing!

I'm thrilled to share that this year's planner includes a powerful new seasonal reflection feature that helps you celebrate growth and make thoughtful adjustments as you move from one season to the next. This was inspired by feedback from one of our community members. We do this reflection every season in our community, and she suggested we add it to the planner!

It's so important to pause and recognize progress before planning ahead.

After all, homeschooling isn't just about checking boxes—it's about growing together and adapting to your family's unique rhythm throughout the year.

What Makes the 2025-2026 Once Upon a Homeschool Planner Special

The Once Upon a Homeschool Planner isn't just another pretty planner (though it is beautiful!) – it's a comprehensive tool designed to bring clarity, organization, and joy to your homeschooling days. And this year's edition takes that mission even further.

Seasonal Approach – Instead of rigid schedules, the planner follows the natural flow of seasons, helping you create a sustainable rhythm for your family.

Thoughtful Organization – With monthly and weekly planning pages, and natural learning sections, you can capture both structured learning and those beautiful spontaneous moments.

Space for Reflection – Because homeschooling isn't just about checking boxes, but growing together as a family.

One mom recently told me, "Using this planner has changed my entire approach to our weeks. I no longer dread planning – I actually look foreword to it."

Even if you don't use this planner, here's a tip to capture learning that happens beyond your lesson plans:

✨Keep a "Learning Moments Journal" in a central location of your home. When you notice your child deeply engaged in something that wasn't "planned" – whether they're exploring bugs in the backyard, solving a problem creatively, or asking insightful questions during dinner – jot it down.

This simple practice helps you recognize and celebrate the rich learning that happens naturally, builds confidence in your homeschool journey, and creates a beautiful record of growth that traditional lesson plans might miss.
