May Challenge: Household Binder (Wrap-up & Printables)

Pin It

I want to give a special thank you to Jen from iheartorganizing for giving me this awesome idea for the household binder. Her awesome binder gave me some good direction for coming up with my own version for my household. If you haven't checked out her binder, please do see here.

Now, with my household binder, I created three sections (so far)...


Even though the month is over, I am sure I will do some tweaking to this collection, and I will definitely share my changes with everyone.

I had originally planned to include a final section for my blog information. Then, I realized that my blog section may be overflowing. So, I ordered some binders from Staples and I plan on creating a separate blog binder that I will share with everyone.

Now, to the important part of the post... the printables. Below, I have included a photo and a link to each printable I used in this creation process. I took my name out of each heading and made them generic, so everyone can use them. Enjoy!!!

    7. I downloaded just fine using Google Doc/Drive. Under file, I would click download. And since I had set up a Collection in my Google Drive called Printables, I could click on the little file folder symbol next to the Title and a pop up would allow me to put it in my Printable Folder.

      I just adapted to Google Drive this weekend so thought I'd share what I'd learned. :O)

  12. I am going to print these out and create our family binder tonight! Thank you so much for doing all of the work for me : ) I LOVE organizing so much that this totally excites me... as much as buying a new pair of fabulous shoes on sale!

    1. Awww... You are too sweet. I am so glad I could help you with your family binder. And, I am exactly like you... My family thought I was nuts when I got so excited to go into The Container Store for the first time. LOL!!! So, this girl can relate to you. ; )

    2. Yes, actually I am thinking somehow perhaps we are sisters and never knew it! (don't know how THAT happened??!) but I am reading your blog and we are so similar it is scary! I think the biggest difference is that I had my baby girl in 2010 and I think you had yours a little earlier!! we should definitely be friends : )

    3. That is too funny!!! Yes ma'am, I had my daughter in 2009. You must be an organizing nut too?!?! LOL
