Trying To Get Back On Track


Ok so my last Family Management/Organization Binder was not working out for us, some parts of it were working for us and I kept those parts. So I went onto Pinterest and researched lots of blogs and took ideas from each one and made a new Family Management/Organization Binder. So far we have kept up with the family schedule, the chores and keeping the house clean. I am a true believer in schedules, it helps to keep things flowing. It also helps to keep things in order and less chaotic. Everyone knows that they can look in the binder and see what is happening at any time, they can see they details of the chores, what the next two weeks menus are, etc.

I have really kept up with this one for a change. I think it is a great way to keep my family organized. I have included several tabs and am adding more as we pick up new things we need to do. Right now here are some tabs that we have. Schedule, Monthly Finances, Family Game Night, Family Meeting Stuff, Recipes, Menus Planners, Coupons.

I have done lots of research on the internet and have taken a look at everyone's to see what works for them. I then took a little bit of what I learned from each blog, video, etc. and came up with my own Family Management Binder.

If you are planning on starting a  Family Management Binder you have to find what works best for your family. One thing that might work for my family my not work the best for yours. I love the idea of having all the information I need for my family what that maybe, all in place.

As far as the family station that I talked about in a previous post, it is still working great for us. We no longer have school papers from all 4 kids strewn about the house any more. They are all confined to the basket and the basket gets gone through once a week and I only keep a few papers from each kid to put in the school memory boxes.

I am trying my hardest to keep up on things and stay organized!!

Thanks for stopping bye and have a blessed day!
