Read MoreWe've been posting here on JacinthaPayne.com for over seven years now. The original idea for this blog was to create a place for me to share thoughts, create resources, and keep a log of the things we're doing as a family. It started as a blog that was "A Little Bit of Everything…

We started last year and I began developing some tools to help keep myself organized - because, honestly, it’s a lot of work. As it is with anything, entering a week of school is easier when you have a plan and way of keeping track of what you’re doing.

It helps to write these things down, but often they end up in the back of my notebook or daytimer on a page I’m not frequently checking. I wanted to create something that would allow me to display the fun things we want to do as a family in a prominent place - that way we’re thinking about them and prioritizing making them happen…
