Hi,

I'm not sure if this belongs here or not, but I saw it mentioned on a blog post about planning, so I'm throwing it in here and hoping for the best.

Can anyone direct me to an active link about this, or explain it to me? I see these tantalizing references to it on the web, but they all refer to a broken geocities link.

Thanks so much!

Every few weeks someone emails, asking me about this. I'm going to go through my computer and pull together as much of it as I can find and put it on blogspot. I'll post a link soon. I should have done this long ago, but there are so many routines and organizational systems on the web now that it seemed unnecessary. Andrea

Thank you for a glimpse into another way of organizing. I'm still struggling with getting a routine to flourish in my house.

Hi Andrea! I remember you from way back then!

Thank you for uploading this! It does help the visual me to see and get my act back together every time things come unraveled.

Just found this -- hi Andrea!

Even though there are so many organization systems out there, I still loved the Avilian system because it sprang from the idea of the monastery horariums and yet was focused on a mostly living education for a variety of ages. You made the point that many homeschool moms with lots of children forget the need for leisure/recreational/down time which all monastic systems acknowledge.


Anyway, I so hope you do get it up somewhere! I have a copy somewhere on my computer but I like to be able to link to it online.

WONDERFUL! We've been doing something similar but not nearly so wonderfully laid out :)

Thank you for sharing!

Just wanted to pop in here and say since I have had my children in school this year and last, I wanted to mention that the children have many half days and full days off throughout the year for planning purposes, teacher retreats, and parent teacher conferences.

Even though my conference for one of my children lasts 15 minutes, all the kids have 4 half days during the teacher/parent conference week.

If I would return to homeschooling, I would add many more days off for me as a teacher.
