I've wanted to share my binder with you for awhile and just now got the pics uploaded to photo bucket. I keep losing my post so I'm going to save it often and then edit for more pics. I didn't take pics of every page because some of them are just plain boring.
Front:
Housekeeping section:
Housekeeping includes:
Weekly homekeeping schedule
To do list:
This section also includes a list of things I tend to put off
, a long-term project list, a declutter/organization list, all natural cleaners recipes, bedtime routine, and a packing list.
Health section:
This section includes homemade natural personal care product recipes and a guide for essential oils. I'd like to develop this section more.
Weekly Menu and Recipes section:
This includes my menu for the week, the recipes for the week, and lists of ideas for breakfasts, lunches and suppers as well as a list I asked the kids to make of foods they really like for menu planning purposes.
Shopping lists section:
This section includes a shopping list that I've made on the computer, a bulk food shopping list I also made on the computer and a generic shopping list for other stores that I might need to go to such as health food store or Lowes or something like that.
Emergency Preparedness:
I'm just now starting on this section. Right now it includes plans that are in the works for emergency food storage. It's a work in progress.
Gardening:
This is the only thing it includes so far. My square foot garden plan on graph paper with seed packets stuck in the page protector. It works.
Special events:
This section includes an event planning page:
Family birthday and anniversary list:
Gift ideas page:
Parenting:
This section contains gentle reminders to help me parent grace-fully. It contains ideas to jog my memory such as playful parenting, scripting, etc. and inspirational quotes to inspire me.
In the pocket at the back of the binder, I have a list of ideas for future sections for the binder.
Thankfully, I've crossed off quite a few.
And on the outside of the binder on the back side, I have an 8X10 pic of my family to remind me why I am doing all of this.
