Binder Cover

I use a binder that allows for a page to be inserted on the front cover.

Scripture Memorization

Here I keep a running list of all the Bible verses that I've memorized. I review some or all of these on a daily basis and try to add frequently to the list.

Time Managment

In this section I keep a page with a yearly calendar, as well as my monthly calendar pages.

Monthly Calendar Pages for August - December 2012 August September October November December

Habit Formation

I use this section for the kids' chores and habits. I have checklists of those habits and chores they each are learning.

Home Blessing

This section is for my cleaning schedules - daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, etc.

Menu Planning

Weekly and/or monthly menu plans

Recipes

My binder does not have enough room to keep ALL my recipes here, so I have a separate binder for recipes, but this is a great place to keep the recipes I plan on using this week. Some are full page printouts from my recipe binder and some are index cards.

Shopping

I have a NEEDS list and a WANTS list. Needs are those things I have to budget for as a priority - things we MUST have. The wants list are things that are not absolutely necessary for us to live. Being able to distinguish between needs and wants has greatly helped me in being more frugal with our budget.

Projects

Any projects that I'm currently working on or would like to tackle in the future go in this section.

Family Activities

Any planning or information that I've gathered for day trips or vacations go in this section.

Money Management

I have a separate money management system where I log our income and expenses, but here I keep my budget for our general expenses. This helps me to keep an eye on how much we are spending on little things throughout the month.

Monthly General Expense Log

Home Schooling

Here I only keep my curriculum plan for the year and calendars.

Course of Study

Our homeschooling curriculum plan for the year is in this section. I also write down ideas of resources I am considering for the future.

Journals

Here I keep calendars for each of the children, as well as my "journal" where I write down the activities for each day (planned for the next days; and also as they occur)
