I just wanted to share one of the most important resources to our homeschool. Is it our handwriting curriculum? Well, while I do love it...no. Our Bible curriculum? Again...love it...but no. It is my record-keeping software.

Now, fortunately I live in a state that doesn't require that I turn in our records to anyone, keep grades, etc. But I am not one of those people that can just pick up the materials and say, "OK kids, here's what we're doing today." I also like to be able to look at one thing and know that for next week I'll need to have this library book checked out, some feathers for L's lesson, some large rocks for G's lesson, and a beanbag for C's lesson. I love having a place to see just how many days we have (or have not! Eek!) completed so far this year. And I'm seriously considering giving grades next year, not so much for me and to keep up with their progress, but so that THEY have some sort of way to measure their progress.

Anyway. Enough of my reasons for even wanting a record-keeping program, and on to the program itself:

Homeschool Tracker

My most favorite thing is that the basic version is FREE. I have upgraded to the PLUS version, and it is still a steal at $32, with NO YEARLY FEES.

My explanations of all the features and benefits would not do it justice, so check it out for yourself!
