Again on the organizational front, I found this blog post from a homeschool mom who is having a personal homeschool conference (would this be home conferencing?). This is something that she started doing last year and you can also read about that here.
I've been listening to some of the Peace Hill Press conference lectures as I plan what we're doing this year. Susan Wise Bauer also has some cool classical homeschooling Q&A videos on You Tube.
There are also some helpful (and even some free) lectures available at Word MP3.
If you think about it, a typical school year would program in several days for the teacher to prepare for the beginning of the year, calculate grades and give feedback to students about their progress, transition to a new semester and even learn about and practice a new educational program. I don't think that it is unreasonable for us to take some of that same time to plan for our homeschool year.
