Okay here we go. I'm not a real creative type and getting a cover for this thing took the longest. I decided to just go with a pre-printed one from organizedhome...love that website!

My little zip bag with markers, pens, scissors, etc.

My first section is called Schedules/Calendars. I printed up a Nov and Dec calendar page from organizedhome. This is also where I have put my "master daily schedule" and a list of daily "focus" areas...things I want to make sure I do on that day. Monday I focus on the kitchen, Tuesday the bathrooms, Wednesday is errand day, etc.

Then I have a section for Meal Planning and Recipes. I keep all my recipes in a software program on the computer, but I printed them up and put them in this binder. Took up the most room! Next I have a section for each child, where I will keep medical records, and other school or extra curricular activity information. I decorated each child's divider page with some leftover scrapbooking supplies I had...ds1's has a beach theme, ds2 and ds3 have Disney themes and ds4 has Pooh Bear.

Next I have an address and telephone section. The printable pages from organizedhome are great for this section. Then I have a list of family birthdays...I found some really cute monthly themed pages at abcteach.com and printed one up for each month, and listed the birthdays there. (We have a really big family and a lot of birthdays to keep track of lol.)

I then have a section for homeschooling and one for holidays. I am going to add a section for important papers and one for car maintenace papers. This thing is definitely a work in progress, but I am so glad I took the plunge and did it! Having all this stuff in one place is great and I think has helped me begin to be more organized.:flowerface:
