Hi Labmom, welcome to homeschooling!
I don't want to be the annoying person who tries to talk you out of what's right for you, but maybe consider getting a feel for homeschooling before getting serious about record-keeping? One of the joys of homeschooling is that it really becomes about LEARNING, rather than tagging bases. It's an amazing experience, like going from 2 dimensions to 3 dimensions. I wonder if a focus on record-keeping would interfere with that.
My DD is just 7, so I have a bit more luxury to just let the learning flow. The older they get, and the closer to high school and college prep, the more documentation matters.
