As is the case with many challenges, and most best intentions, life happens!

I had intended to jump start this Household Notebook (HN) Challenge today - ready to go first thing in the morning with some pre-written content. But life happened, and we had wee-ones for company over the weekend, so things are getting off to a slower start - and that's OK!

The idea of organizing for planning and reference is supposed to make things easier - not add pressure to an already hectic lifestyle. Remember that as we start moving along! Progress is progress, no matter what form it takes!

I will start today with some basic thoughts on "Getting Started."

• CLHawk, of OrganizedHome message board fame, has written a great series on Supplies! You can find that information here: LINK. Be sure to take a look!
  
  

• So what is a Household Notebook? To start with, it is whatever you want it to be! For me, it is easy and ready access to things that make my home run smoother ...
  
  
  • Things I need to reference on a regular basis, but don't need to carry with me every day
    
    

  • Things the family needs access to on a regular basis, so I'm not stopping everytime someone moans, "Where's the number for the Pizza Den?"

• Assignment: Think about the purpose your Household Notebook will serve! WRITE IT DOWN! Keep it handy - maybe in the front pocket of your new binder - you are going to refer to it often on this journey!
