Home Management Binder.

 I recently found this blog called A Bowl Full Of Lemons and haven't stopped looking at it since.
 I've been Spring Cleaning my household, so I've been reading nonstop on how she organizes things and not only her....others as well through her Weekly Challenge linkys.

I decided to start her Weekly Challenges, better late than never. They're about 7 weeks into their challenges, but I love to organize...so I'll catch up.

The First Challenge was to create a Home Management Binder.

In the past, I have posted my Command Center Binder right here.

It's basically the same thing. However, I had that binder...plus one for blogging...plus one for lessons...plus school papers hung up everywhere. The Home Management Binder has it all.

I basically did almost exactly the same thing as she organized hers. The reason being I was looking for something new and different that could still accomodate everything that I need it to be.

 The most important thing to me is what type of person I portray and am.

My binder opens to Proverbs 31. I can read it over and over and it always reminds me of how I want to be. {All pictures should get big when you click on them!}

 Calendar is the first tab. I printed a weekly, monthly and yearly.

Most of the printouts are from Clean Mama's Shop on esty. You can make your own or try to find them off the internet. If you've downloaded my printouts, you've probably guessed that I like everything nice and neat and in tables...and I spend alot of time making lists. It was easier to get them and have them for now on.

My Daily Schedule which was actually the very last Weekly Challenge.

I just got it done at the same time. It's under the Schedule Tab.

 I printed out my PTO Meetings for the year, GS Meetings, Awanas Schedule, and all the other activity schedules.

 When I ordered the Menu Planning Kit, it came with a bunch of various ways to menu plan...including a monthly one as well. I am trying them all. I found a couple that I think will work best for me and printed a ton of them out to put under the Menu Planning Tab.

 I added a clear plastic sleeve for Take-Out Menu's.

 Finances includes our Monthly Budget Worksheet, Bill and Payment Checklist and Receipt Tracker.

I got these all from Clean Mama because we are also on the Dave Ramsey Financial Budget and they were just what I have been trying to do...and couldn't figure out how to do it...!

It also has a document that I made with all of our Bill Account #'s, their addresses and phone numbers for quick reference.

 To-Do List section...nice and clean. I'll keep my actual one for this week to myself..! It's a mess and busy...!

 School Section was just like A Bowl Full Of Lemons.

 It contains our Lunch Menu, Schedules, Fog Delay Phone Numbers, Welcome Letters, School Website and Learning Websites, Class Goals...etc. I also made this Absence Excuse Paper to use.
*Update: I added my Homeschooling Calendars and Schedule to the "School" Tab.

Medical tab has a copy of all our Insurance Cards, Medical Info, and an Emergency Information page. I would share what I made...but it's already filled out. One time I called 911 when my son was choking and my brain just turned off. I couldn't remember my address or phone number or anything! This page has all our information, step-by-step directions, family disaster plan, etc.

 Blogging section is amazing.

I didn't want to show you all the posts that I have coming up...!

 For the Cleaning Section, I just used Clean Mama's Schedule. She's actually alot like me. My schedule was pretty much the same except some things switched on different days. I figured that I don't even need to think about it anymore. It's figured out for me...!

Weekly Cleaning Schedule.

There is also a Contact Tab. It has all our family & friends.

Another page, has all of our bill phone numbers, doctor numbers, dentist, restaurants...basically any numbers we use.

 Pouch in the front for easy access to supplies.

*Update: Added a Tab in the very back for Church...that way I can also use the back pocket for the sermon notes. They are all collected for easy reference.

There you go..!

The kids have already been using it each day to see what they need to do and what they're having for lunch.

I have completed a few more of her Weekly Challenges but not in order....so I'm not sure if I'll post them until I finish the next one #2 or just go ahead and post what I've done.

Any way though....it feels great to be organized.
