I've been through several planners in my 7 years of homeschooling.  Most are overpriced and have more than I need.  Don't get me wrong - I like inspirational quotes, bible verses, menu planners, grocery lists, book lists, touching anecdotes, address books and kitchen sinks; however, I don't need them in my planners.  I just need, well, a *planner*.  I had given up and made my own this year out of a three-ring binder and my own printed sheets; however, it was a lot of work and it takes up a lot of space.  I found these, liked what I saw, and ordered two.  (One for each of my older kids.  The toddler doesn't need one yet.)  The price is right and there's enough room to write a bit about each day's lessons.  Period.  If you're a minimalist and/or pragmatist, this is the planner for you.  :-)
