After a super busy weekend of planting our garden (will post pics at a later time), I came across this website by accident-(I just love when that happens:) http://www.simplify101.com/
It is an organizing website & if you sign-up they will send you instructions on how to make a "Command Central Binder". "What is that?" you might ask. It is a genius way to organize all of that paper we have lying on our table, or counters. It is brilliant, yet, when I think about it, the concept is simple. I don't know about you, but I have had a hard time figuring out what to do with all the paper. Whether it was mail, brochures, calendars...etc. I have a bulletin board & magazine holders & the trusty fridge, but it just wasn't helping with the paper clutter. Thanks to this wonderful website, I was inspired to make my own binder today & got all of the paper clutter up off of the surfaces!:) Yay:)
Here's how it turned out
I love this because it is one central place the whole family can go to get all the info they need.
You can customize it to fit your families needs & add to it & update it when needed. I printed off a monthly calendar for 2011 & filled in appointments, holidays, fieldtrips, & anything else I know is coming up. My categories are Calendar/Events (which includes the monthly calendars I printed & any brochures on upcoming plays, or events which I put in page protectors), Health (which includes karate stuff, health tips, doctor info...etc.), Financial (which includes money management articles or websites & budget worksheets, Homeschool (which includes fieldtrip info/brochures, classes & activities related to homeschool), Christian (which includes family devotions, inspiring articles, favorite local charities...etc.)
I have a feeling this will make our lives so much easier:) I hope this blesses you as much as it has blessed me:)
