It is the Well Planned Day family homeschool planner by Home Educating Family Publishing. They gave it the perfect name because honestly my days without it surely were not as well planned .Here is a snippet from their website:
From finances to report cards it covers it all. There is space to plan out the school day for four children. I have five kiddos so far so I was trying to figure out what on earth will I do when I run out of room. Well, if you are onto schooling your 5th child, unless you have multiples your eldest is most likely at least in the third grade and ready to start using a planner of their own. Isaiah was sooo excited to get his own student planner this year. I give him a list of what he needs to have done by the end of the day. He enters it into his planner and I check off the assignments when they are completed. If he completes all tasks before 4pm I put a sticker or stamp in his book and he likes that .lol I love when kids are so easy to please. I will post about my massive sticker collection another day. It has been a great value to have him learning time management at this age.
Here is an excerpt from their site about the student planner:

Home Educating Family Publishing also has a half-sized on-the-go version of the family planner, binders to go with your planners that are quite easy on the eyes, a 4-year high-school planner, and a magazine. The planners all are also available in PDF format at a lower rate. I love this company and all that they provide for the homeschooling community. I do have a suggestion for them though and I know that I am not alone on this one. Homeschooling families tend to be large families. It only makes sense to me that there should be an additional students package that we could buy separately to add on to what we already have. A package that would include report cards, progress reports , attendance sheets,class plan, student schedule,and the responsibility/education cards. Even though kids will move on to their own planners eventually, they will still need to have the above mentioned things. I actually know several people who do not use the planned for this reason. I on the other hand like it enough to figure a way around this.
I must say thank you so much for all the little sections on budgeting, bill payments, etc. Before having this planner I honestly did not even realize how much I spent on homeschool let alone the other areas of our life. For the first time in my life I have all my expenses and budgeting all organized.
