Sometime during my first year of marriage, I ran across Simple Mom's Home
Management Notebook System. I didn't think much of it then as it was just H
and I. However, now that we have a toddler in the family, there's a real need
to be more organized with the way we manage our home.
In a nutshell, a Home Management Notebook is a home version of a work
planner. It's most useful for:
- Work At Home Moms: there's the challenge of getting work done at home
- Homeschooling Moms: the home has to function as the kid/s' school too
- Large Family Moms: the home seems to need more organization when there's
more than 1 child around
- Busy Moms: the moms who manage multiple projects at any given time
- Organizing Junkies: for those who want to do things just because
If you're interested in setting up your own Home Management Notebook
System, here are some free resources that can help get you started:
* Simple Mom has great articles and free printables
* A Bowl Full of Lemons has an inspiring reader challenge
* First Day of My New Life provides a useful list of printables
The family's big move is now set. The storage box sitting by the door is a physical
reminder that big changes are on the way. I pray that I can continue on with my
work at home set up; but I am keeping myself open to all the opportunities of my
new home. If you haven't guessed yet, setting up a Home Management Notebook
System is my current mental and emotional blankie. Better and brighter days up
ahead!
