WFMW- Homekeeping Notebook




My Home keeping Notebook

I have been keeping a home keeping notebook for about 3 years now . It changes and evolves as my life does. There are new things added , updated and even removed a the children grow, we move, We get a dog, buying and selling house and car, new jobs, Home schooling. Well you get the idea. I love seeing what others do with their notebooks, so before I ask you to share, I thought I would open mine for you. First let me tell you that I have went from one notebook to three! The main one is the most important. I have my main homekeeping notebooking, My homeschool binder and my lesson plan binder. Please leave me a comment or e-mail me if you would like to share your notebook(s) with me or if you want a copy of my forms :)

Be sure to see Rocks In My Dryer For more ideas!

Dolly’s Home keeping Notebook (2 inch binder~ photo follows)
Inside there sections:


1. A current to do or notes( just a handwritten sheet ( I Love List)

2. Cleaning notes and schedules- Daily, Weekly, once a quarter schedules for life and cleaning,
And a Library Log that keeps track of when borrowed items are due. I don’t keep my calendar here anymore because it is on my computer and the “family one” is a desk calendar on the fridge.

3.Monthly Menus- blank and Current menus and a month’s worth ( so I can avoid too many repeats) , My Butcher shop price list, and a list of Breakfast and lunch ideas

4. My wonder dog’s and the Kid’s Dr. and schedules for vaccines- We order the vaccines for wonder dog online and give them at home.

5. Funny stories, poems and cute things- Mostly copies of clippings that I have found that I like to keep and share sometimes.

Hi Dolly! I tried to email you, but it was returned, so here it is in an extra-long comment!

Congratulations! You won the polo shirt GiveAway!

Please let me know if you would like Charcoal or Oatmeal and which
size (it's a golf-style shirt so the sizes run on the big side).

Also, let me know where you'd like me to mail the shirt!
