Verse of the Day

“And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” -2 Peter 1:5-8 Listen to chapter

My Household Notebook

Actually I call mine "Mom's Home Journal".  I have gotten most of it done.  I still have a few pages to type up or finishing filling out, but most of it's done.  Why do I need this, you may be asking me?

Simple.  This notebook helps me to stay organized and on time.  I have lots of information in this notebook that helps my on a day-to-day basis.  I have seen this all over the internet on people's blogs or other web pages.  If you would like any specific sheets, I have the links for them all, but I don't think that my followers need them because I believe they have their own or they are my friend on facebook.  lol

First we start with the front cover.  I used to have a graphic on the front cover that I designed, but this time I went with one that I got for free that matched a lot of the pages I used for the inside of my notebook for Spring. 
Next is my pocket that I use for my hand lotion, pencils, pens, erasers, stamps and anything small that I want to keep in my journal notebook.




After that I have pages in front that I don't want to forget about during the week.  If I keep seeing them, I will remember them.  Then I have a blue pocket folder to hold papers in that I need to do something with immediately.  Then I have blank paper, and  my blank paper is printed out to match the Spring theme.
Next I have my Year at a Glance for 2010 and pages with 3 months at a time on them for planning for the months April-December and these all are from my Spring theme kit.  Then I printed out the matching monthly calendars to have each month easy and accessible.  All of these pages are put inside clear page protectors.



My To-Do section is next.  I have a To-Do List sheet first.  Then the next page has Business, Family and Financial on it.  Then Homemaking, HomeSchooling, Ministry.  Then Personal all on one day.  The next 3 to-do pages are split up for each day with another section for next week's planning.  I have a page for Special Dates, Details & Notes to Remember along with a page of things To Buy for our house.












Next I have a section for each day of the week.  This is one part that I haven't finished filling out yet.



Then a section for Family.  So far the only thing that I have in here is the Hidden Dairy Cheat Sheet that I needed when we were making Kyle's diet low on dairy.



Financial I haven't filled out yet.



Homemaking is the next section.  I have a page for Home Blessings, a few pages of Grocery Lists that can be cut in half, my pantry inventory, my freezer inventory (not filled out yet but on my to-do list!), a grocery master list and several recipes for making my own soaps and detergents.









My HomeSchool section is next.  I have my weekly plan written out on My Weekly Glance page.  Then all of the various lesson plans, papers, schedules, journal calendars, lapbook directions and whatever I else I need to keep for school go in here.






Ministry is next.  My prayer list and my Devotion for the Unorganized journal is in here.



Meals & Recipes includes my meal plans, a clear protector sheet with take-out menus and some of my recipes, including a section for Recipes To Try.



My Personal section has my own notes and such for myself that I want or need to keep.
And last but not least is my Telephone & Address Section.
Oh really, last is 3 folders.  One for family info and the other 2 are still empty.
