Home Management Binder: Medical Records


 We've been building our Home Management Binder and let's review what we've had so far.
We made our Cover and Spine
We made our Monthly Calendar
We made our Weekly Plan
And we made our Family Budget

 Now time to record the family's medical info!

 Under the Medical tab in your binder, you will have space to put all the important medical info for each family member. 
It will include:
Person's name
Primary Doctor
Specialists
Dentist
Medications
Pharmacy
Allergies

 This would also be a great spot to put the labels from any medications or supplements you take with the refill number.

This is a great resource for a baby-sitter or family member if an emergency arises and they need these numbers or medications!

I hope you're still building your binder with me!
It has turned into an incredibly valuable tool for us to keep our lives organized!

Home Management Binder: Family Budget

So far in our Home Management Binder, we've made our:
monthly calendar << Click for new June Calendar!
...and now the family budget!

This is huge for each family to have on paper!
Sit down and discuss as a couple or family and decide what you need, and what amount should be spent on each area.
At the top, you will put your total income. This is what you take home and the money you have to work with.
Then your budget is divided 7 categories: Expenses, Utilities Children, Giving, Debt, Fun and Savings. I tried to include every expense I could think of, so tweak the sheet to fit your needs! Add or delete as needed!

Make sure to regularly meet and discuss the family budget.
As seasons in life change, so does the amount of money you have to work with. A written budget helps everyone be working toward the same goals and to be using money wisely.

I hope this can be a blessing to your family!
What are your family budget tips?

Home Management Binder: Weekly Planner

I hope you're building your home management binder with me!
Last week we tackled the binder itself and the monthly calendar.
I know mine is full up!
(If you'd like to download the binder cover and spine....click here!)
(If you'd like to download the May calendar....click here!)
This week we will be adding a weekly planner to our notebook!
This is probably my favorite part, since it breaks EVERYTHING down in one spot for the week!
It has a day by day breakdown of daily events, chores and meals.

I can't stress enough how handy this is!
Get your own printable copy.....here!

Next week we will add a menu planner...and as always will include a free printable!

Anyone building your home binder with me?

Home Management Binder


 This is a project I've been meaning to tackle a LONG time ago.
Now that Im a mama, I see it as even more important to have all our family info in one place.
This will help our home run much more smoothly.

Each Wednesday I will tackle a new section of the binder, along with free printables, so if you want to build yours along with me, you can!

Here's what you'll need:
3 ring binder
Dividers with tabs (I still need to get this!)
Computer and printer
3 hole punch
Pen or pencil

The items I plan to include are:
Monthly calendar
Weekly planner
Menu planner
Family budget
Home projects list
Medical information
Addresses and phone numbers
Gift planner

The first thing I wanted in my binder was a calendar.
This will contain EVERYTHING for our family. 
Responsibilities, birthdays, celebrations, etc.

To download the cover for your binder, click here.
To download the May calendar, click here.

Next week we will look at a weekly planner.

I hope you'll start this organizing journey with me!
Please let me know if you are building your binder too!
