I also had these fun colored dividers lying around from our university days. I popped those into the binder and used my label maker to create tags for our household sections.
Here is an example of one of our charts we have for household cleaning. It's broken up by individual days of the week, weekly, monthly, semi-annual and annual areas. This way, we can list by day what needs to be done around the apartment as well as things to be done monthly and throughout the year. I know they are a little plain, but color printing can get pricey sometimes, you know?
Our address book is its own entity, but I wanted to still include it in our household binder so everything is located in one place. Every member of the family knows what's in it and where it is.
We keep our binder in our Dining Room sideboard, right underneath our little office nook on the wall. As far as what's in the rest of those cubbies? Well, that's another project in the works!
That's a wrap on our Household Binder project. I am really excited about how our binder is going to help us get organized and keep organized! How about those of you out there? What sort of small household projects are you working on?
So chic! Love the colors, and you know I am a sucker for organizing with binders! Yours turned out amazing!
