Creating A Happy Home

Oh how I love this binder, talk about getting organized!  If you don't have one of these yet, I am here to tell you, You Need One!

When I started this binder, I used regular tabs to mark each section, for example: The tab for my schedule section said: "Master Daily Schedule" However I have now changed this because I found that it was far too hard to find what I was looking for and way too much for Mike to find anything in there. So, now I have each tab numbered 1-32 and at the front of the binder is a table of contents in alphabetical order. This has worked out so much better!

Here is what is in there at the moment but I am constantly adding more. I keep a seperate binder for Homeschool Information, I will post it soon too. Check back soon as I will be adding pictures for your viewing enjoyment. 

1. Emergency Information
2. Bills/Finances
3. Brooke’s Doctor/Medical Information
4. Brooke’s Extracurricular Activity Information
5. Calendar
6. Daily Zone Detail Cleaning Schedule
7. Evacuation Information
8. Family Contact Information
9. Frequently Used Phone Numbers
10. Holidays
11. Kim’s Doctor/Medical Information
12. Life Insurance Information
13. Master Daily Schedule
14. Michael’s Doctor/Medical Information
15. Monthly Menu
16. Passwords
17. Pet Information
18. Recipes
19. Shopping List
20. Training Time
21. Vehicle Information and Care

I also have blank notebook paper in one of the interior pockets for jotting down notes and stuff. There are clear pockets by some sections to place documents into, like Insurance info, etc. And pens and pencils are in a pouch too.

I started this binder not only to get more organized but in case something happens to me, what a relief it is knowing that Mike wouldn't be lost, searching all over the house for information. It makes me happy to know that I will have made things easier on him in an awful time. Hopefully, we won't have to experience it anytime soon. lol.
