Hello all! Excuse me while I blow the dust off this blog again. I actually forgot about it, but now I have an app on my phone to do updates so maybe that will keep me a little more diligent. Here's hoping anyway.
I have decided to be a little more organized around the house, so I decided to do some research around the web (Thank you, Pinterest) and I have decided to break down my whole organizational task by different areas on different weeks. I thought maybe if I did it a little slowly I could stay with it better and not get burned out. So without further ado, my first big project: My Home Management Binder! *trumpets blare*
Ain't it pretty? It's a work in progress. I am still filling out sections but all & all I'm very excited about it. I saw many things on Pinterest about making your own HM Binder and the freebies to download are just endless. I took a little from column A and a little from column B to put my binder together. The snazzy cover I got was from Organizing Homelife, she had a few more to choose from and this one just inspired me!
Now, when it came to the sections of my binder I let my OCD kind of take over. I sat down and figured out what I wanted and the total came to 12 sections. Now, my OCD happened because I had these snazzy tab divders that I wanted to use and there was 16 total of them. I didn't want to have blank sections to "maybe use later", so I made a few subsections and I filled the extra four spots pretty quickly. Honestly I could've done more then 16 but I didn't want to get too crazy.
(Finance pages shown came from Thirty Handmade Days)
My sections are as follows:
- About Us
- Calendar
- Finances
- Home
- Auto (Since our cars are extensions of our homes)
- School (My daughter is in K, so not a lot of papers quite yet. I might make a school binder later)
- Menu
- Pantry
- Freezer
- Pets
- Cleaning
- Holidays
- Travel
- Emergency
- Contacts
- Business Cards (baseball card holders filled with business cards for easy finding)

If you have noticed the pages I took pictures of are blank. I didn't want to display personal information online, so you are seeing the "before" pictures I took of certain sections before I filled them in. I'm really excited about this whole getting organized thing and I will be posting updates as soon as I complete another organizing task. Wish me luck?

I hope all of this helps you!
