ok so I'm 2 years late to this party but... Great Finds Sister & ty for the tips! I live in Canada so we don't have a hobby lobby but we do have walmart and michaels so i will defo use your tips and save money. I have a planner problem also and yes Im addicted to Travellers Notebooks I make my own & I also Bullet Journal.

I have used and even handmade the travelers notebooks. I like them but I like them more for journaling and art type scrapbooks. I did use them as a planner before homeschooling but for me it’s not big enough to be a homeschool planner. I love how with the TN you can change out the books monthly and even make your own books easily 👍

That’s a good point! It looks so cool, but I was wondering if it would be too small for homeschooling. Thanks for the input!

Very helpful and happy 😊

Love the hole punch. I got mine second hand for 7,50 in good as new condition. Best thing ever

And speaking of art projects and journals< do you have your children keep journals for school or reading? There are some AWESOME DIY composition journal videos on KZread as well. I'm seriously addicted to thses DIY planner/journal videos as well as making these journals. So thank you for your videos!

Thank you! I’m glad you liked the video! I have done reading journals in the past and would love to get back to that. It really is a cool way to keep track of what you’ve read!

Yay for clearance! Love it! 🥰

Love this! I’ve been doing this the last few years…I’m so addicted to everything happy planner. I made my kids their own planners/student notebook with happy planners too! I do have the full size big punch and it makes it a bit easier to punch the large sheets.

I have seen those traveler notebook videos on KZread. You can make one! Do you get crafty when your children our working on schoolwork? If they are creating an art project, you can make one of these as your art project.

I need to!!! I love the travelers notebooks! I just don’t have the time to do those right now…but I’d love to. My kids would love it too ❤️

I use my travelers notebook as my church and quiet time notebook. I need a bigger planner than that. Lol. But I do love it!

Maybe you can laminate the note taking page and cut it back down then glue it to the month tab. You can use wet erase markers on that and it will be reusable every year too.

Hobby lobby stopped the 40% coupon. They did lower prices on a bunch of items though because of that 😊

I noticed that. Kinda a bummer…but I think it is probably a good trade off bc they always have a handful of things on sale at any point. 😁

Michael's has some good clearance sales too.

@@ourthriftyhomeschool I have to share this because you talk about how God blesses you with homeschool school curriculum. Ok so I have been wanting this latchmate container. It's got a handle and a tray for supplies and it would be perfect for "homeschool in a box." Take it to a friend's house, relatives etc. Could only find it at Michael's (too far to drive for me and I hate paying for shipping. $15 plus shipping.) It's on Amazon for $25... yikes! Today I went into my Dollar General and what did I find!!! The dg version of the tote!!! It was $10 and in the color I wanted and only one on the shelf. I about started crying! I knew that was God. Got it packed already so we can take it to the park. tomorrow.
