Family Binder Pt 1

 I totally love the idea of a family binder. They help keep the family in line and hopefully Mommy on track with every day biz-nus!

  Here's what I am using for my Family Binder:

**A plain black 11.5x8 binder. It's the cheapest one Walmart carries.
**A pack of page protectors (I got a big pack because I am not sure how many Ill need)
**A pack of wet erase markers. (It came with 2 black, 1 red, 1 blue, 1 green) ((You can use a different color for each person in the family or for different events)
**A pack of post-it sticky tabs. (I havent used them yet, but once I get my book better put together, I could use the tags for each area of the binder "Calendar", "Menu", "Bills" and just flip to that page)



  So, yesterday evening I sat down with my daughter's Tinkerbell note book and started making up schedules and writing down what kind of daily chores need to be done. I've been trying for days to type up these lists and just cant get anywhere with them. I am finding it so much easier to write it on paper first and then Ill type it up.
