Home Management Binder - Monthly Calendar

I have labeled the first section in my Home Management Binder, "Schedules".
I made up a blank monthly calendar (I absolutely love blank calendars since I can use them over and over again no matter what year it is :)

DOWNLOAD

This will be used to keep track of my husbands work schedule,  planned vacations, the kids activities, doctor appointments, as well as any other important activities.

If you are joining me in making your own binder, please be sure to take photos and blog about it. At the end of the month I will be having a link party were you will be able to link up your own home management binders.

Home Management Binder - Printable Tabs

Yesterday I shared my Home Management Binder Cover Page with you. Today I would like to share some printable tabs that I made up. Although it would have been just as easy to buy some tabs, I wanted mine to match my cover page.

DOWNLOAD

The download is two pages long and includes all of the same colors that are on the cover page.

Here is how I made the tabs for my binder.

Download and print the tabs on normal paper. Cut the tabs out then fold in half and place between your laminating sheets and run through your laminator. (or you could use an iron if you don't have a laminating machine)  When cutting your tabs, cut about 1/8th of an inch away from the paper around the top part of your tab. When cutting around the bottom part of the tab you will need to cut right along the edge of the paper. This will keep the top part of the tab together but will allow the bottom flaps to separate, making it easier to glue to your chosen paper. Hopefully the picture below will make more sense if you are confused.

Once you have your tabs laminated and cut out slide them onto the edge of your chosen paper and glue in place. After the tabs are dry, punch holes in your paper and add your tabs to your binder.

The best part about these laminated tabs is that I can write on them with permanent marker and I don't have to worry about smudging the ink or the paper tabs falling out (like most of the store bought ones). However, if I decide I need to change a category, I just spray it with a small amount of hair spray and the permanent marker wipes right off.

If you are joining me in making your own binder, please be sure to take photos and blog about it. At the end of the month I will be having a link party were you will be able to link up your own home management binders.

Let's Get ORGANIZED - Home Management Binder {free printables}

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Who is ready for 2013??

2012 was a great year and I am determined to make 2013 even better.

I've decided to kick off the new year by making a Home Management Binder. I made my first Home Management binder about 2 and a half years ago and I LOVED IT!!!! Then we ended up moving, and moving again, and moving again.... When settling into our new home I decided to place everything into a filing cabinet instead. Well.... that is not working out for me. So I am going back to my binder. 

Since my old binder is a little outdated I decided to make a new one and .... (here is the best part)... I'm going to share all of my printables with you!!! Yep, that's right, I will be posting some fun, FREE printables throughout the month. Everything you will need to make your own Home Management Binder!!

So the first step in making your Home Management Binder would be to snag a binder. I've decided to go with a plain white binder (since a already had one that was not being used). Then I whipped up a fancy cover page for it.

DOWNLOAD

If you would like to download and print your own cover page just click on the download link below the photo. Please let me know if you have any complications and I'll do my best to help you out.

I'll be back tomorrow with some printable, colorful binder tabs to go along with the cover page!!

If you are joining me in making your own binder, please be sure to take photos and blog about it. At the end of the month I will be having a link party were you will be able to link up your own home management binders.

Christmas With Dollar Genaral

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dollar General for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I was recently asked by the folks at  the Dollar General Gift Center if I would be willing to use their products to wrap my Holiday packages, however, I would only be allowed to spend $10. I shop at Dollar General often, and I love challenges, so naturally I accepted.

There are so many gift wrapping options at Dollar General that I was actually a bit over whelmed. For just under $10 I was able to purchase more than I needed.

• 35 ft roll of sparking red wrapping paper
• 2 rolls of gold ribbon
• 9 ft blue and silver beaded garland
• 9 ft decorative snowflake garland
• 1 package mini Christmas tree ornaments
• Tape (not pictured)

When it comes to gift wrapping I usually use a very simple approach, (wrap it and slap a generic bow on top) however, this year I wanted the gifts to be special. I had fun coming up with a new way to decorate each gift. I also have lots of materials left over to decorate the rest of the gifts that I will be purchasing this weekend. (I know, I'm a major procrastinator.) I think the best part about shopping at Dollar General is that I never have to wait in long lines at the cash register. If you would like to keep up to date about what is happening at Dollar General be sure to follow them on Facebook.
