A couple of years after I started blogging, I decided to create my first actual product. Really, I’d created it already out of a need I had in my own home – to get all of my paper clutter under control and manage my home well.

And the Home Management Notebook was born.

At the time, there wasn’t really anything like that out there – this was years ago! – and I felt pretty creative. I loved that feeling, loved designing something useful and relevant that would be a great tool for moms.

Those were the very first printables I’d ever made…and I was hooked.

In the years since, this blog has changed and grown and I’ve learned a WHOLE LOT about graphic design. I look back at those first printables now and almost cringe at how dated they look! And so many of those original pages were unnecessary – who really keeps an inventory of their DVDs anyway? Not me!

So, for the last few years, the idea of completely redesigning and reformatting the Home Management Notebook has been on my list of things to do. I wanted something more streamlined, more simple, and more beautiful.

And today, I’m so excited to tell you that the all-new Organized Home Binder is ready for YOU!!!

The Organized Home Binder is your home base for everything you need to manage your home well. Once place where you can organize your important paperwork, manage your finances, track your medical expenses, make notes for the babysitter, and more!

Each printable is simple & purposeful, designed to help you feel more organized, more prepared, and less stressed.

What’s included?

There are 8 sections in all, and you can purchase them separately, in order to customize your own personal OHB. OR, you can purchase the complete set!

Let’s take a look at each individual section…

Calendars:

What’s included:

• 12 monthly calendars
• 12 perpetual calendars

How to use this section:

• The monthly calendars can serve as a broad overview of your year – use them for planning long-term, as well as monthly & weekly events! The perpetual calendars are used for compiling birthdays and anniversaries – so you never forget to send a card or text! I also include my kids’ school calendars, and any flyers for upcoming events in this section.

Plus, print out the chore chart for each of your kids and hang it on the fridge for them to complete each week!

 

Finances:

Track how fast you’re paying off your debts, keep tabs on your spending, and have a central location where there’s a record of your automatic payments. This is especially helpful when only one spouse handles the finances, but the other suddenly needs some information. Have it all here at your fingertips!

If you have a child with special medical needs, there’s a place to keep notes as well as track their treatments. If you need to track every medical expense to report to insurance, this is the place for that! It’s so easy to lose track of all of those important papers – this section serves as your one-stop-shop to keep all of that info.

It’s perfect for planning holiday meals ahead of time, shopping for gifts throughout the year to take advantage of sales, and remember those you want to send cards to, or have received gifts from. When the holidays roll around, you won’t have to scramble to plan or shop or anything – everything you need is right here in this section! Stress-free holidays? Yes, please!

Plus, if you’re leaving your kiddos with a babysitter, the papers in this section will leave her with everything she needs to care for your babies well.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Is this a digital or physical product?
• Like the S.O.S. Planner, The Organized Home Binder is a digital, downloadable file. Once purchased, you’ll receive a download link through your email. Simply download & save to your computer, and you can print it off for your own personal use!

• How do I print it out?
• The Organized Home Binder is meant to be printed at home. It’s very cost effective that way, as the entire file has been designed to use minimal ink. If you don’t have a printer at home, you can send it out to an office supply store to print, but please note that it will be more expensive that way. Those kinds of stores don’t care how much ink you use, they just charge you a high fee per colored page. To save your money, I’d suggest printing in black & white, or finding a friend with a printer. Sometimes your library will even do color printing for a smaller fee! The intention, though, is to print this file at home.

• How many pages is it?
• The Organized Home Binder includes 85 individually designed pages.

• How soon will I receive it once I’ve ordered it?
• You should receive access immediately after ordering! When we say “get access NOW”, we mean it! Your files will show up right inside your Anchored Women Shop account!
