\"household<\/a>Recently, I’ve had several people ask me about my household binder<\/span><\/strong> and for help in getting a system in place that will help keep their homes clean<\/strong><\/span> and organized<\/strong><\/span>. Today and a week from today, I will be sharing my binder with you. You will get to see what it looks like, how I have it organized, and what I use to keep my home in order<\/strong><\/span>. Plus I will share with you where I purchased all my supplies and where I found some of the printables<\/span><\/strong> it contains. Grab a pen and a notepad, find a cozy<\/strong><\/span> spot, and read on… and in just a few minutes, you’ll be on your way to a more organized home!<\/p>\n

The first thing you see when you look at my binder is an adorable<\/strong><\/span> cover, personalized with my monogram<\/span><\/strong>. I found this over at lee, me, and the girls<\/span><\/a><\/span>. Does your binder have to be cute to be functional? Absolutely not, but it sure helps!<\/p>\n

Open the cover, and you will find an assortment of labels, tabs, sticky notes, and a pouch… all from the Martha Stewart<\/strong><\/span> line at Staples<\/span><\/a><\/span>. (I also bought my big Avery binder and sheet protectors there years and years ago when I first made my binder, and it still looks new!) I just went there to replenish supplies, and I thought maybe I was in Heaven<\/span><\/strong>. I love, love, love this line of products! The young man at the checkout figured that out fast. The first words out of his mouth were, “You must like Martha Stewart!” Why, yes. Yes, I do. In fact, I drove an hour one way just to get these items. No Staples near me. Booo! But I digress. Inside the pouch are my favorite Paper Mate Flair pens (another Staples find.) Colorful, and they don’t bleed through the paper! A set of twelve lets me color-code everything<\/span><\/strong> to my heart’s content!<\/p>\n

Next, we come to the first section of my binder… “<\/span><\/span>F<\/span>amily Planner<\/span><\/strong>.”<\/span><\/span> It contains:<\/p>\n
