I used to waste a ridiculous amount of time looking for school calendars, sports schedules, take-out menus, etc. I never kept the papers all in the same place.
Then I saw this idea in a magazine — I can’t remember which one…
Now I have a 3-ring binder in my kitchen where I keep all of my important papers. I put them in plastic sheet protectors so they don’t get totally destroyed, and I keep the binder on the shelf with all my cookbooks.
I always know where to find the info I need, so now I can waste my time doing other stupid things 😉
What things do you do to help keep yourself and your family’s important info organized and at your fingertips?
I use that sticky fun-tack adhesive and stick all sorts of things to the inside of my kitchen cabinet doors…the school calendar, #1’s weekly homework sheet, lunch menu, doctor’s appointment cards, important phone numbers, etc. If you ever come over, take a peek inside my cabinets…you can find out all about my life…and grab a snack too!
I make a dozen copies of the kids medical records the day we get home from their checkups… Someone, everyone is always asking for a copy!
Thats a great one!!! I keep my recipes I get off the net in one of those!!
