I have been enjoying the process of creating my own household organizer for my family. I have spent a good amount of time printing some papers, but I have also created a few of my own.
Once in a while, it's fun-or necessary to meet your need- to make your own pages. Though there are cover pages available, I made my own. I ♥ it. And that matters! I like that it's personalized for us, and it was really easy to make.
- Dates to Remember (2 styles)
- Monthly To-Do
- Blog Review/Giveaway Information
- Monthly Statistic Report (for blog)
- Telephone Number List (This is not shown, for obvious reasons. However, I used categories of Family, Neighbors, Friends, Local Businesses, and Doctors. The categories help a lot. I've made several in the past. By using the computer, it is also easy to update.)
After creating the Monthly To-Do chart, I found this daily/weekly/monthly/annual cleaning checklist that I really like. I will try it first. You can view it below with the pretty blue circles and lots of Post-It notes. On my list of things to do is to have friends over each month. It may not be a cleaning task, but I think I will add it to the list anyway.
A note about the Post-It notes (ha!). I like to really know with certainty what I want to write on a piece of paper before I write it. Post-Its fill that need for me, as you can see.

This is one great binder, and better than one you could purchase because it is personalized with what you need. Looks great! FYI, I do something similar to the post it notes with divider labels, lol.
ReplyDeleteI love how you used the post-its. I wouldn't had thought of that. Good thinking!
ReplyDeleteI've toyed with the idea of making a binder. I'm in a book club right now reading Large Family Logistics, and the binder is part of that. I'm sort of all over the place which is why I don't think I'd use a binder and exactly why I NEED to use one.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to say I like your new blog. I think you've done a great job with it!
Hey Annette,
ReplyDeleteI do see that we are working on this same project. {lol} Mine is here:

I plan on creating a page on my site when it's done and I will add your link to your beautiful binder. :o) I just LOVE this project and your ideas as well.
