Household Binder

The end of another day and I actually feel as though I have accomplished something. After moving about 10 boxes out of the rec room, I realize that the mountain is not so big after all. And, after washing the floor in the storage room, I realize that replacing that flooring must be included in my renovation budget. I admit I completely forgot about doing the pantry, but I had an unexpected errand to run. Maybe tomorrow I will begin with that.

The thing that I did today that most excites me is all of the forms and things that I created for my household binder. This sounds silly, but I have had this vision of having a household organizer for years. I have always had a basic one, but awhile ago I revamped it only to discover that I really couldn't find anything anymore. See how it is overflowing and messy.

Then I started to do some research on the web and by reading blogs and I found some wonderful ideas. For instance, I have been carrying around my day scheduler all this time, instead of purchasing a purse size calendar that I can use for notes and appointments, etc. Here is the one I got the other day. This is really a must have for those appointments, like the one I made today, that will not happen for several months.
I am chronically misplacing things and this will hopefully help me keep appointments straight at least. Also, a bonus, it matches the new stationary that I got at the dollar store for $1. It has mountains on it, which reminds me of a special place I used to live.
