Our Testimonials
โMom, are we going back to notebooking?! โฆgreat because I remember so much more when we do thatโ
We have used notebooking in our homeschool for years but this past year my husband took a new job requiring us to move out of state. Moving can require a lot of a mom of five. I decided to trim down our workload and go as simple as possible. One of the things to go was notebooking. Now several months later we are moved in and trying to get back on track. My oldest daughter in her teens saw me looking at my account. She asked โMom, are we going back to notebooking?!โ I said I am planning to. She replied โgreat because I remember so much more when we do thatโ She proceeded to tell me about previous studies we had done and how fresh they still are in her mind because we used notebooking. I hope this is an encouragement to moms out there that are either considering notebooking or need to return it to their routine.
โฆhas inspired my children to learn, to explore, to be creative and to write!
What a blessing you are to so many homeschooling families! Notebooking is the answer to my prayers!
It seemed like our homeschool was lacking something. The workbooks were dry & boring or repetitive. I discovered your site a year ago, purchased a year membership & we started our notebooking adventure! We have slowly integrated it into our homeschool day & now we are ready to start using it with all of our subjects. It was hard to tell myself to put those workbooks & other materials we purchased out of site & stick with the notebooking. I can see the difference in my kids, they like school, they want to do more!
My children really enjoy being creative with their notebook pages. Notebooking is helping me to teach language arts to my children the natural way with out all the boring workbooks that sometimes bring tears. This method of homeschooling has inspired my children to learn, to explore, to be creative and to write!
My year membership just expired & I knew I had to purchase a lifetime membership this time around! I am looking forward to all of the awesome notebooks they will create in the future! The 3-D pages & the publisher look great! Purchasing a lifetime membership is one of the best investments we have made in our homeschool journey. Debra, thank you for all the love & time you put into this site to help the rest of us enjoy our homeschool journey!
It allows for their creativity to flow โฆ Notebooking has been such a success for our homeschool!
I recently bought a membership and the way I homeschool has changed for the BEST! I am a four year homeschool mom who struggled trying to find a way to make learning come alive for my children (ages 4, 14, 17, 18). They are enjoying putting together notebooks. It allows for their creativity to flow and they can write down what they find interesting about a subject instead of someone forcing an interest on them. They also get to draw if they want or find pictures to place in the notebook. A lot of kids love to doodle! The membership saves me time by providing such nice pages. Notebooking has been such a success for our homeschool!
It has allowed me to have another area of rest!
Thank you for your program. It has allowed me to have another area of rest! My kiddos are self directed in their written narration but are still so very proud to show me their work!
The possibilities are endless.
The possibilities are endless. When I purchased my membership last year I was at the end of my rope. I was burnt out with homeschool. The kids were burnt out with the daily hassle of worksheets. Then I found the notebooking pages and I was hooked. We are using them with our current studies with Classical Conversations. We love this product. This saved my sanity in homeschooling my children. And now with the publisher, my girls and I are going to have a blast creating pages to go in our notebooks. And after watching the videos on the Book of Centuries and trying the template, I am super excited for this school year.
My son who I couldnโt get to write three consecutive sentences, suddenly wanted to write everything heโd learned..
Last year I hit the wall in my homeschool journey. My children were frustrated and so was I. We were not having the educational experience any of us wanted. I shelved everything for a month and went back to the drawing board. I am incredibly grateful to have found your site while slogging through the difficult ordeal of revamping our homeschool. I looked through the entire site. I watched the intro video. (I suggest everyone else do the same!) I signed up for the Freebies account, because while it all looked very promising, I didnโt want to spend the money until Iโd tried this โnotebooking thing.โ Boy was I glad I did! I started a study of Chopin and Elephants with my children. They loved it! They loved the โneat pagesโ to write and draw on. My son who I couldnโt get to write three consecutive sentences, suddenly wanted to write everything heโd learned about elephants. They love using the notebooks I learned to make from the terrific โhow toโ articles that Debra has written. Suddenly, learning was enjoyable again. I have only one regret when it comes to notebooking, I wish I had known about your site sooner. I didnโt try notebooking earlier because it always sounded confusing and difficult. Debra and her wonderful site eliminated that concern. Iโm thrilled to have access to pages on every subject I could possibly imagine. Thank you for this wonderful site. It is more than worth the price of subscription!
it has been so versatile with whatever we are covering from โrequiredโ subjects to ones of personal interest.
I have 4 kids ages 10, 7, 5, and 4. Two years ago we started lapbooking with most of our school subjects except math and phonics. We started lapbooking so that the kids could really make their own books with subjects that interested them. I knew though that as the kids got older that I wanted more than just cutting and pasting so we started adding more copywork to the lapbooks. It was a very natural transition to start notebooking. They now add their own artwork (one of the features I like with the notebooking pages is all the variety for clipart or blank spots for art work with lines for notebooking) Notebooking was a great way for us to journal and work through learning grammar skills in a practical way as well as practicing handwriting. Plus, this way the kids have personalized documentation of their work that we keep in a folder and they love to look over their work from each past year. I honestly wasnโt sure if notebooking would work for our family, but it has been so versatile with whatever we are covering from โrequiredโ subjects to ones of personal interest. The great thing is the little boys see the older two notebooking and they want to join in. My youngest just made his own journal book this morning to โwriteโ in. Love it when stuff like that happens. Thanks, Debra for all your hard work and making it so accessible too.
Notebooking is great for him, they aid with recall, memory and he really enjoys them.
Thank you for the Lifetime Membership offer it is very affordable. Our son had a stroke, causing long and short term memory. Notebooking is great for him, they aid with recall, memory and he really enjoys them. They are easy to adapt to his level yet are still challenging enough for him. Education has not been easy but with the help of your site he is interested, and it frees up a lot of my time. Again Thank you and God bless
What a blessing it is to have all of these resources at my fingertipsโฆ
I have loved having access to all of your notebooking pages as a Lifetime Member. Paying for access to that was really a no-brainer for me. What a blessing it is to have all of these resources at my fingertips to print whenever I needโฆ.versus spending hours attempting to either create what I need or search for it on the internet. Your hard work has paid off to serve at least one family (although I know there are many more than just us!). THANK YOU doesnโt seem like an adequate way to express our gratitude!
Notebooking has become an integral part of our schooling this year; we use them with our Sonlight history (to capture narration and related artwork), for our copywork/handwriting, and for science.
We first came across notebooking via an online homeschool newsletter that led us to YOU! We used a variety of your free pages to try out this new idea. In past years, we have primarily used oral narration to reinforce learning, but I wanted to capture some of that on paper this year, for record keeping. Enter your site. I took you up on your offer of the lifetime membership. When I opened up the file, I couldnโt believe how many great options there were, always something available to tie in with what we are learning, and new great pages coming along throughout the year. Notebooking has become an integral part of our schooling this year; we use them with our Sonlight history (to capture narration and related artwork), for our copywork/handwriting, and for science. The kids are always excited to see what page is coming next, and we look forward to binding the pages at the end of the year into books! My kids have normally been rather averse to having to WRITE, much preferring the oral narration, but the wonderful pages, and the knowledge they are creating a book, make it more fun for them. And I feel more confident in my homeschooling than ever, because I have wonderful records of all we have accomplished- wonderful peace of mind! I have never been to any other notebooking-pages site, because I have always found everything and exactly what I needed HERE! Thanks for such a fabulous resource!
Even my non-writer is doing written narration for the first time without complaining!
The pages have really inspired my kids to do well and be proud of their work. Even my non-writer is doing written narration for the first time without complaining! Iโve also found the maps to be a great resource, the timeline . . . It has all saved me so much time!
a great way for the children to โshow what they knowโ right at the level they are at.
I love Notebooking! It is such a great way for the children to โshow what they knowโ right at the level they are at. Some of my kids have trouble writingโthey are so glad to have space to draw pictures and the layouts are inspiring, because there are many pages with fewer linesโnot so intimidating. The selection is amazingโand always growing! I am also LOVING the Membership idea, because I have always โwanted it allโ and now I can have it!!!
