My New Home Management Binder

happysmile by happysmile Standing(October 12th) (rank 500+)

About a year ago i posted about my Home Management Binder, i have updated my binder so i would like to share it with you all.

A home Management binder is to keep you and your family organized and its great because you keep everything in one place so

it won't get lost.

I have decorated the binder with old scrapbooking paper and added a cover page so it looks nice, on the back i have emergency numbers so family members can find thim quick. When you open the binder i have my daily plan (if you would like any of the website i got my forms from plz feel free to message me, because i'm not sure if i can post them on this post, i think i should re-read the guidelines, lol).

Then i have a master to-do list, i've added thing i want to de-clutter and other things i need to do but will do when i find the time. Then i have a shopping list, when i'm running out of anything i just write it down and take it with me when i goto the shops, otherwise i forget.

My first section is my routines, to be honest i don't really use them because my work scedule changes offen but its a great idea for stay at home mums that need some help to keep focuses on what needs to be done. I have a weekly map, which has the day of the week and i fill it out on sundays with appointments and all the other stuff i need to do on certain days. I keep a master cleaning list in this section too.

Then i have my zones (cleaning), I try to work in one zone a week, its deep cleaning and de-clutting. I just choose something from my list and try and do one thiong a day, it normally only take a couple of minutes to do. I have 5 zones, my zone one is the lounge room, i things like dust the T.V. unit and Clean hand prints off walls. I keep any cleaning articles i read and like in this section. 

Then i have a section food menu planning, it has a master grocery list, weely menu plan (i use my weekly menu plan to help with grocery shopping, it has truly help me because i know what i'm having for tea and i know i have the stuff to make it and its also helped me save money because when i make my weekly menu i try to use all of the stuff i already have instead of it going into the bin). I also clean my fridge out when i make my menu so i know what i have. I also have a section for recipies, which i will one day make a binder for my recipes and also i put all the takeout menus here to so i don't lose them.

Then i have my calender section, I have a calender for appointments and birthdays.

My next section is financial and bills, i keep all my current and paid bills here, also my recipets.

I have a section for my son which i keep all of his school papers here, my husband section has all the stuff he dosen't want to lose and my section the same as his.

And finerlly i have a phone directory.

Well there you have it, if you would like any adivce how to put one together feel free to message me.

 I like this article and will be definitely trying your section on food menu planning. Especially the Master Grocery List., I go to make a dish and find I am missing an ingredient, nothing more frustrating.

Thanks for sharing.

Regards Janice

Great idea! The last time i did something like this the folder was "lost". I think someone didn't like the idea and made it disappear! LOL Anyway it's a great way to get organized. I have some boxes I need to thru because they are filled with junk but it will have to wait as I have to get everything ready for Chrisco!

Cheers Raven

This is great and very customizable too. For example, I think putting down phone numbers and other medical information and work schedules and routines is great for babysitters!  And I like your cleaning zones. Great job.
