Make Homekeeping More Fun

A great way to "love your home" is to figure out a homekeeping system.  If you are struggling in an area in your homekeeping, consider making a binder to keep track of the goings on at your home.  Start a cleaning schedule, keep a calendar, jot down things you want to do.  I look at it like a little home journal.  Nothing too time-consuming, more helpful than anything. 

Today I'm going to share my homekeeping binder - it's a tool that helps me keep it "all" together.  Figuring out a system that works for your homekeeping style and your family is where the fun comes in. 

Here's how I created my homekeeping binder and homekeeping station - hopefully this gives you some ideas....

I have been using a homekeeping binder for years.  I just re-did my binder for the new year and it was FUN!  I found it at Target - it came with dividers and labels that you can send through the printer.  Sweet.

This is my receipt keeper - I punched three holes in it to store it in my binder.

next is my little binder tool pouch

                               calendars, meal planning, budgeting, listmaking, cleaning, blogging

I laminated my daily planner and hole punched it - I write on it with a fine-tipped dry erase marker - saves paper and keeps it easy.

                                                       weekly dockets - hole punched

meal planning

food inventory - super helpful in food storage and grocery shopping

I keep a stack of shopping lists in this plastic envelope

cleaning schedules

huge timesavers - takes the planning out of it - now you just have to do the work

 Here's my homekeeping station.
