In the ever-ongoing quest to get my house in order, I thought it was a good time to organize my desk, and tidy up the clutter. I have had my mind set on making a Family Notebook for quite awhile, and with all of the great deals on back to school supplies, I decided to pick up a binder and get to work.

I have our Family Notebook organized in the following categories:

• Helpful Information-emergency phone numbers
• A tab/section for each family member
• Local information/menus/ local coupons

So far the notebook has come in really handy in organizing all of Thade’s school information and the many calendars that come home with him.  My desk is also a lot cleaner now that the paperwork is in order.
