Home Organizer Binder

Lately I've been wanting to improve my homemaking skills and habits. Generally I just do whatever needs to be done whenever I feel like it. But I really want to be more intentional with my home. God has given this space and these resources to me. I want to manage it better than ok. So along with improving my habits and mindset, I think one tool that would help me is a home organization binder.

I started researching them and I cannot tell you how many FREE printables and templates I found. And there are some women out there who have this tool down pat. So I looked to them to help me put mine together. The most helpful website was abowlfulloflemons.blogspot.com. Here is a link to the page I used. Very helpful. And she made the task fun.

So I put Pandora on Carla Bruni and got down to work on my Plan It binder

Supplies: White and colors!

I made a front page to slide into the front slip of my binder.

Made of: Scrap book paper, burlap scrap, and sticker letters

Ew blurry pic. And also I forgot the binder was wider than

a standard sheet of printer paper and cut my paper too small.

What ev's

Here's one printable I love.

I don't have much necessity to plan any meals other than dinner.

Even then, I only need to make dinner 4 nights/week at most.

So this template let's me plan a number of meals and list the ingredients needed for each.

I'm not committed to preparing any one meal any certain night.

This template is a weekly calendar.

This will help me be more detailed without getting overwhelmed at

seeing a whole month's worth of plans at one time. 

I have a full size calendar posted in our kitchen and also a blackboard 

to write weekly events on. 

 All my tabs include:
Calendar
Schedules
Cleaning
Food
To Do
Inspiration (folder)
extra templates

I know my binder is not perfect yet, but as I use it, it will fit my (our) needs better and better.

²⁵ She is clothed with strength and dignity; 

   she can laugh at the days to come. 

²⁶ She speaks with wisdom, 

   and faithful instruction is on her tongue. 

²⁷ She watches over the affairs of her household 

   and does not eat the bread of idleness. 

Proverbs 31:25-27
