** Edited- COMPLETED April 19, 2008 No more updates Keeping the Home-- is starting from scratch on HOW TO make a HOMEMAKING BINDER-- If you are interested-- here is where you can join in: Welcome to HMB U. This morning I took the extra time to make a nicecover- I never had a cover--just a white cover-- Part 2: Schedules I may add my FOOD binder (not my recipe binder) but more of my healthy food / local food binder into my HOMEMAKING binder to keep it all together-- TABS..(duh, why didn't I think of that..that is why I didn't put em' together I was tired of flipping thru to find what I wanted). Looks like I MAY need a BIGGER homemaking binder after this!! ;) If you visit Making the Home's website on her left hand side bar you will see lots of cleaning schedules/ideas.... In the below post of MY homemaking binder you can see where I got my ideas... If you don't have a cleaning schedule-- it really does HELP-- even when I "fall off the wagon-- I have a wagon to get back up on!! " I really like the idea of puting in TABS--- I really have no idea why I hadn't done this-- I may also change some of my cleaning schedules--- I was doing a ZONE a week--but I may change that back to a room a day-- I'll post more on this tomorrow-- after I think it thru some more!! This particular section falls into the category- do what will work for YOU-- not what others do- I have other plans set up for our homeschooling items--and to move them into this binder would cause me more issues--so I will not be setting this section up...but for some it may really be a benefit!! So enjoy!! This is a great section-- again-- I like her ideas but this is not in MY personal binder- I have tried for about a half hour to access her entry on March 26, 2008. It is excellent-- and I know I posted about it too-- because I like her idea and I have a coffee can full of things for the boys to do to keep em' busy. They must do each item for a min. of 30 minutes. (I'll keep looking for MY entry on this...but really go to her archive and read her March 26th entry!!! ) FOUND IT.. here is my version of this... Coffee Can Activity Center Again-- another section that will not be in my binder-- we have a system--and we better just stick with it!! In my binder OTHER would be all those wonderful encouraging articles-- see the link below for MY binder and the encouagement I receive from those "others". This is also not in my binder-- I have a WHOLE OTHER BINDER FULL of wonderful recipes I have collected. A lot of them have come from Tammy's Recipes and The Family Homestead and other numerous places. This section is also not in my binder (see-- you REALLY must use what WORKS for YOU-- this entry is just to give some ideas--) I have an address book on the side of the refirgerator that dh or I can EASILY grab when needed. PART 11- The Successful Implementation *************************************************************************************************** Even though I already have one-- I'm following along to see if there is anything I would benefit from adding- Here are the entries to my Denise's Homemaking Binder PART 1 and Denise's Homemaking Binder PART 2. If you have one and have blogged about it-- I'd LOVE to see it!! (hint hint) |
