Tip #21 – Create a Household Management Binder

This is one of the BEST organization tools you can use! I strongly encourage anyone who is looking to get organized when it comes to your schedule, bills, your dreams, gift cards, books, you name it, to start a binder. Make it what you want – make it as practical and useful as you would like. Store your envelopes, stamps, addresses, lists, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. in this binder.

Kristin’s Action Plan: Anytime I need to see if a birthday is coming up, if a bill needs to be paid, or what to pack for vacation, I take this binder out. It is sitting out on the counter and I go to it sometimes multiple times a day. It has been a time-saver, and sometimes life-saver because I am not caught forgetting something. I plan to continue this method of organization for YEARS to come!

Copycat P.F. Changs Chicken Lettuce Wraps

A month or two ago I went with a friend to P.F. Chang’s. I had not experienced their goodness before, so when that was an option for a place to eat, I jumped on it. And now I know why! I had heard of lettuce wraps before, but had never tried them, so when my…

Recognizing God’s Voice

We have developed a completely new vocabulary, living with a toddler. One that usually makes no sense to anyone else but us, yet a vocab that has taught me far greater than new words. Let me share just a few: Sup-pa = pizza Amen = when she’s done reading a book gawk = milk George…

Simple Strawberry Smoothie

It is that time of year when many are starting to think about eating healthier and trying to live an overall healthier lifestyle. I know that every year, I go through the same routine as well to some degree. Whether it be tweaking my diet or starting a new workout regime, I do the same….

Snorkeling In The Florida Keys

One of the reasons we love going to the Keys is the snorkeling. God knew we were perfect for each over 10 years ago because He knew we both loved snorkeling. We had snorkeled on our honeymoon in Mexico and though that was my first time,I fell in love with it. Since then, we have…

Belize’n It Up

Belize City. I truly had no idea what to expect. In fact, this whole trip we didn’t know what to expect. In fact, in LIFE…I don’t know what to expect. That is a lesson God has been continually teaching me. Don’t expect – live in faith. When we told people we were going to Belize,…

Ive recently combined my address book, birthday book and xmas gift book into one and am finding it very handy! Weve got a large family (30 on OHs side alone) and having everything in the one place is a godsend. Ive got a seperate folder for bills and mark the payment dates on the calender and am working on another file for cards (birthdays, anniversaries etc), seperating them into months (as I get them made) and writing them out a month at a time. Im off to check out some of your printables, thans for sharing. Jo

The card-filing system has made sending cards MUCH more manageable and fun! It sounds like you make your own cards too? How fun! Glad to hear of your progress in getting organized and hope you continue to find motivation here!
