gettin' it ALL together

I have been working really hard at “gettin' it ALL together".  I have a crazy amount of information & ideas I gathered from LARGE FAMILY  Logistics & I needed somewhere to “see” it all. Kim even suggests a Home Management Binder in her book.  It has been at least 2 years since I updated my “control journal” & almost just as long since I abandoned implementing most of it.  I needed to put all my notes from LARGE FAMILY Logistic’s into action & form a better plan (& actually use it, not just plan it).  I actually have several “binders, notebooks, folders, etc.” that I use to manage all the craziness that stems from a large homeschooling mama. 

Here is the method behind my madness:

• Binder #1:  HOME management
• (zipper) Binder #2:  Well Planned Day planner
• Folder #1:  Weekly/Daily folder
• Folder #2:  “In-Progress” folder
• Binder #3:  homeSCHOOL management
• Binder #4:  homeSCHOOL info by Subjects
• Binder #5:  homeSCHOOL Units

I’m not completely done with all of them, but I am so excited to shared the gems inside these bad boys!! I started this post with the intentions of sharing it ALL with you, but whew, it was beyond L-O-N-G after the first section.  LOL  So, here are the basics & I will go into detail in future posts.

My HOME Management binder . . .

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these mead binders.  They are super flexible & actually hold quite a bit.

Inside the front is our family daily schedule:

Inside are the following sections:

1. Family & Household Information
2. Cleaning
3. Meals
4. Personal
5. Business

Tomorrow, I will share the awesomeness I found at i Heart ORGANIZING!
