Once again, I'm putting together a home management binder.  It usually works quite well for me until something happens (moving out of state, new baby, or something of that nature).  Hopefully I'll be able to stick to it & really tailor this tool for our family.  Last time, I was using the FlyLady system, and even though it is basically the same thing, I'm mostly referencing www.KeepingTheHome.com this time around because of her emphasis on homeschooling, large families, and the Biblical admonitions for being a manager of the home.

I did manage to pack up two huge bags to donate and one of trash yesterday - just from the master bedroom!  Last week, I did the same in my daughters' room.  We'll get there; slowly but surely.

I decided to use some fun medieval and victorian clip art from http://karenswhimsy.com/ for my binder.   These have been a great deal of fun to peruse.  Now, I'm adding titles & Bible verses and poems to each section divider.  I want to get a one month menu plan, the basics for housework and our basic homeschool schedule finished by Monday so I can give it a trial run.
