My Family Planner(s)

I have really had it on my heart lately to get all the information that I rely on reorganized neatly and placed where everyone can find it in the event of emergency (or just in case the lights go out).  I want everything to be handy so if there is any kind of rush or panic, we will all know just where to go to find needed information.  


I keep binders for all of the things I want to access quickly.  I have 7 of them currently (don't laugh).  I keep my binders (mostly) separate from each other because it keeps them light weight and just makes things more specific.  I am a note keeping, list making fool so keeping binders is just a must for someone like me:)


My binders are not really decorative at this point but they are at least practical...I can only hope for decorative sometime in the near future, but at least they're handy (smile).

Here are my 7 binders.  

*2 Binders are my biblical studies.

*1 binder is budget.

*1 binder is natural health and remedies.

*1 binder is pantry stuff and I keep my to do list in that one also because the two can fit together.

*2 binders are for recipes I use frequently (some my fav's).

I keep my binders on a shelf so I like to tag the outside for quick access.

On the inside I personally like these really handy pocket dividers.  They allow me to keep things I want handy in the pockets and it shows me what is in this section easily.

Then, for the pages in between, I like to keep things in page protectors, especially in my cook book binders.  They do just what they say they will do...protect the page, you gotta love it!

Now for what I like to keep in my binders

In my biblical studies binders, I have them sectioned according to the study that I am doing.

Covenants

 (the subject most near and dear to my heart).

Sabbath

Ark of Testimony

Passover/Feasts

The Rod

Yoke

Etc.

The Budget binder

My budget

I keep my bills in the binder in the pockets.

Note as to when things are due

insurance info.

license info.

Etc.

Natural healing binder

*What herbs to use for what illness

*Dosage

*Safety info. (if safe for kids, pregnant, elderly, etc.)

*Essential oil info.

How to use them and what to use them for.

*Dosage

*How to make salves with herbs and oils.

*How to make lotions, shampoo.

*Toddies

etc.

Pantry notes/ Things to do

In my pantry notes I keep general but helpful information.

All things Food related)

•What’s in the freezer

•Freshness dates/Codes

•Grocery list

•Clean 16

•Dirty Dozen

•What’s in Season

•Health Food Notes

•Local Producers

And under things to do...I just keep track of things that I might like to do in the future especially regarding food and food production, like what kinds of chickens I'd like to have and I would like to keep garden notes as well...but maybe that's binder #8...Hmmm?

Cook Book Binders

I'd like to say that I just keep my most favorite, tried and true recipes in these...that's how they started out.  But, I have added things that I want to cook in them also.  As I have been (trying) to teach myself how to cook from scratch for a while now, I have added things that I just haven't tried to do yet but want to...sometime or at least will have the info. handy when I need to do it.

Well, there's a little insight to my madness...Oh, I forgot...I also wanted to mention that inside my medicine cabinet door I am also hanging lists of important info that you use more frequently:

*Fever info. and how to treat (or not treat it)

*Quick remedies for common problems

*Dosages for tinctures

Coming soon...

*Burn and wound treatment info.

*Essential oil info.

(I told you I'm a list making fool:)
