I just browsed the store and think the “Eye Candy” collection is so cheerful!

What fantastic products! These would certainly inspire one to be more organized. I’ve been working on a ‘home management’ notebook in excel, but think I’m ready to finally print things out and put in a notebook!

I have created one, it’s not complete but a work in progress. In mine I have a yearly calendar and then a weekly list of things that I would like to get done for cleaning. I have a section for each child ( I have 2) it includes a school folder, sunday school, a folder for dance class for my dd and and afolder for scouts for each kid. I have a section for food, blank menus for me to fill in, and grocery lists for me to hang on the fridge each week for me to mark off what I need. I have important numbers list. I have a section with monthly tabs for keeping track of bdays and anniversaries. I keep my holiday stuff seperate in another binder.

My family is all grown with children of their own, but I do have a suggestion for a category to add to your notebook: online memberships with urls, user names, and passwords.

In this age of social media, blogging, and community Websites, it’s hard to keep track of everything. Even though you may have all this information stored on your computer, what happens if your hard drive fails or a virus requires you to purge all your files? Also, this is a good way to keep tabs on what your children are involved in online.

Most of the time I feel like I can never get organized. I know each attempt helps me reach my goals.

I LOVE my notebinder from Mead to hold my lists and planning pages. It is so portable and I can fold the front flap all the way around so that it lays flat on my lap to write.

Of course, I use it to store all of my ListPlanIt pages in it I put my calendars and To Do Lists in the front section, and use the other sections for managing my website and blogs.

I am in the process of making my binder. I bought the binder about a month ago and have printed out some of the categories that I will be using. I don’t have many but it’s what works for our family. I am sure as my boys get older and life changes, my binder will change too! I am excited to add my MOPs things as a category!

I have been using the same home management notebook for years. I have been wanting it to ‘do more’ for all those years, also. It could be better, more expansive, and certainly more attractive!

I use my notebook daily, especially for school. I have a plastic, 3-hole punch expandable file folder that I got for $1 at Target. I keep what I need for our daily morning time at school in it, I love that it’s all in one place. I also have my calendar, though I am trying to switch to google calendar. Lesson plans, menus, shopping lists, cleaning schedules, and newsletters from different groups are all in it, too.
