Kayse is a witty wife and momma of one (soon-to-be two!), who had the same problem I have-- figuring out how to keep all of her important info (meal plans, cleaning schedules, account information-- including web usernames and passwords in a concrete, non-hackable format-- yes, even blogging post schedules for all us bloggers!) in one, CUTE place!
Her solution? A Home Management Notebook!
In Kayse's words:
An organized home is a happy home.
Right?
Well, it’s at least a happiER home.
And my home? Well, it needed some organization, no doubt about it. As wife, mommy, and homemaker, I desperately needed to get it together.
I have a few issues, as far as homemaking goes:
- I stay home with my daughter, work full-time from home, and write on the side. Time is this elusive concept that I never actually have.
- I DO have a toddler who likes to tornado through the living room, topple the towers of folded laundry, and throw her unfinished food on the floor.
- I am emotionally allergic to cleaning.
But I DO love organizing.
And I get a tad obsessive excited about systems. Planners, schedules, calendars, I love them all.
Enter the Home Management Notebook.
Basically, a Home Management Notebook is a resource for your home, keeping all your important paperwork and organizational wizardry in one place. I’d read about them on other blogs, seen all kinds of printables, but I could never find anything that totally worked for me {read: I couldn’t find all the documents I wanted in matching fonts and coordinating colors}.
So I made my own.
Meal planners, cleaning schedules, babysitter cheat sheets – I created everything I needed. And I’m more than excited to share it with you.
In this e-book you’ll find a few things. First, my soapbox on why having a Home Management Notebook will change your life. Then, a complete tutorial with step-by-step directions on how to create your own notebook. And finally (my favorite!!) – over 30 printables for you to download and use within your notebook. All in matching fonts and coordinating colors, of course!
No, being organized won’t accomplish world peace. It won’t make you love cleaning, and it won’t counteract the tornado-toddler issue.
But it will most definitely bring a little more peace to your home.
And we could all use a little more of that, am I right?
Right, sista! So when Kayse gave me a copy of her e-book to review, and one to giveaway, I was sooo excited!
See my cute little binder? Thanks to Kayse's simple instructions and easy printables, this baby now holds EVERYTHING I could ever need (including the phone # for Poison Control, which I have needed several times lately for Little Monkey-- thankfully nothing serious!)
Kayse even shows you how to cover your dividers with scrapbook paper to add that extra "cuteness" factor!
