Free 2008-2009 Weekly Planner for Students is Here!
It's finally here. The 2008-9 Weekly Planner for Students, and I'm offering it for FREE.
It's a weekly calendar (for the school year), time schedule, and assignment planner all on one sheet.
Help kids keep track of their project deadlines as well as events, appointments, extracurricular schedules, and study schedules. Four subjects (language arts, math, science, and social studies) are filled in, and there are still four more slots open for other classes and activities. Time (6am to 9pm) is in one-hour increments. Space beneath the date allows room for writing in holidays and special days. Each page also includes the week number and season.
This printable is designed for two-sided printing. (Print odd pages first, flip them over, then print even pages.) The back of each weekly planner page contains sections for writing down goals, to-do lists, and quick notes.

Skip Your Morning Latte... Save a Life
Kristen's Guide is making an effort to stop cancer, and I need your help.
My father died of pancreatic cancer. My maternal grandmother died of brain cancer. My maternal grandfather died of throat cancer. My paternal grandmother had skin cancer and breast cancer. My husband had mouth cancer. The son of a good friend of mine had leukemia. One of my favorite English teachers died from brain cancer. My neighbor has brain cancer.
I'm tired of cancer stealing away my loved ones and raining misery on our lives.
Please help me fight cancer by donating your spare change to the American Cancer Society. Don't have any spare change? Then skip your morning latte (or afternoon soda, etc.) and spend the money on fighting cancer.
Every $1 makes a difference. Don't believe me? I've set up a group page, called Families Fighting Cancer, at the American Cancer Society events sites. I plan to gather up loose change, skip an indulgence once per week, and donate a tiny bit of money here and there to the ACS. Plus, I'm going to ask other people to do the same. The goal is to see if a few tiny sacrifices can really make a difference by eventually reaching a donation goal of $1,000.
$1,000 in spare change.
Want to help?

and donate $1 or $5 or more if you can.

It's Time for School Printables Already
July means that it's time for me to make some printables for the upcoming school year. If you are a student, a parent of a student, or a teacher and have a need for school-related printables, please tell me your ideas, wants, needs, and dreams (as they relate to printables, of course).
Just go to http://kristensguide.forummotions.com/printable-suggestions-for-kristen-s-guide-f3/ and start a new topic (or add to an existing topic).
And FYI, I'm already planning on adding some assignment sheets and calendars for students, and those will be available in the printables section of Kristen's Guide http://www.kristensguide.com/Printables/index.asp in August and September. (Subscribe to Kristen's Guide Updates to find out when they become available.)

New Workout Planning Printables
In my ongoing effort to find an easier way to get healthy, I've put together two new free workout planner printables.
There's an 8-week workout planner, which lets you put together an exercise program over the course of 8 weeks.
There's also a comprehensive weekly workout planner that lets you plan out many of the most important fitness components necessary for a well rounded workout.

Stop Legalized Murder in the USA
Last night I saw a documentary that drove me to action. The Innocent is about ordinary people, just like you and me, who were arrested, convicted, and sentenced to death row. The problem is that they didn't commit the crime. They were completely innocent. They spent years in a tiny cell, missed watching their children grow up, and had their dreams destroyed all because of a flawed legal system. Some are fortunately exonerated before their execution date, but there are many who are only found innocent after they've been killed.
For me, having a happy life requires that I attempt to help other people have happy lives as well, so I had to do something about it. Today I wrote my government officials, researched non-profit organizations focused on helping victims of wrongful conviction (and added them to my charities-to-support list), and updated my capital punishment essay. Tomorrow, I'll do more.
