Mine is pretty simple but it works.

I have a pencil pouch with extra pens in it (lots of them, i keep losing them!) and my checkbook (otherwise i lose it)

The first page after that is our Emergency Contant Info. It says YOU ARE HERE at the top and then it has the basic info for all of us (just in case hubby needs it)

Address, housephone
my name and cell
hubby's name and workphone

Poison control and then a list of emergency contacts (which desperately needs to be updated) it has the grandparents because they're who we would call in an emergency.

When you turn that page, on the left side are some quotes that i like about blessing the home

the next page is my Emergency Quick Clean. Its for when the house is out of control and i just need a good starting point to get my routines started (because i fall away from them often) or for when i have guests coming over and i just don't know where to start with cleaning. This is it: http://www.gentlechristianmothers.co...d.php?t=216646

then when you turn the page on the left side is my morning routine, my afterlunch routine on the right.

the next page has my before bed routine (i rarely get around to it though ) and my weekly schedule(ish). which is in need of an update.

*sigh* I really want to update this binder BUT i don't have a printer and it just doesn't look pretty when i write it in by hand

After that is a detailed cleaning list (i picked it up from flylady) NO i don't get to getting everything done, but its good to see a list of things i CAN do in that room for that week because i seriously am a BAD housekeeper and i forget a LOT of things.

Then the rest of my book is for weekly recipe/shopping lists. I write out a menu for the week and all the things i have to buy to make that happen (including the stuff i already have) I write that all out and then i go to my cabinets and see what i already have, and cross those off the list. I'm left with a shopping list for the week

I have 4 menus/shopping lists right now. After that is a binder with paper in it for making my shopping lists and planning menus for other weeks

all our medical things are in a separate binder (bright red so its easy to spot) so they don't clutter up my HOUSEkeeping binder.

I keep a big calendar on the wall for appointments and use it daily. I get those BIG ones with huge daily areas and no monthly pictures. I use it to write down appointments, milestones, silly things DS says, and if i am feeling creative i get some pictures printed or use some of DS's artwork he made at school and use it as a sort of scrapbook for the year. When i feel up to it, i try to do 15 minutes of "zone work" in each designated area. http://flylady.net/pages/FLYingLessons_Zones.asp
