Working away!

I promise, I've got some great posts coming up- I'm working away!

I've been slacking on stuff around the house too.  Our Family Binder is a mess and I am hoping on getting that up and running again soon.

For those who aren't familiar, a family binder is the central hub of our family "stuff".  I have a 3 inch 3 ring binder that contains our family address book and emergency contacts, recent bills, calendars, insurance info, shopping lists, price book, menu planner, budget, vehicle maintenance,  groupons/online GC's, and other misc. stuff.

Most everything is contained in page protectors, the sections are divided with tabs.  Most of the pages came from Organized Home, however, some sections I came up with and made up my own spreadsheets/workbook pages.

I try to spend about 30 minutes each week on the family binder- filing bills, menu planning for the week(s) ahead, and updating the calendar.  It really helps us stay organized and on budget!
