With so many moving parts in a household, it can be really difficult to keep track of all of life’s details, can’t it?!? From family members’ social security and car license plate numbers, to the house’s paint colors, teachers’ email addresses, and the pet’s grooming schedule, filing this information away while also keeping it handy is indeed a tall order. But don’t worry, I’ve got you! I created The Family HUB | the Ultimate Home Management Binder System to be an effective, simple, and efficient way to organize, sort, and store all of life’s information…so you can always find it, whenever you need it!

Why Assemble a Home Management Binder?

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve (quickly) needed one of my kid’s vaccination dates for a camp registration, or our car’s plate number for an event, or the school’s break schedule so I can plan a vacation, or…you get the idea!

As we go through daily life, there are many times when you need important-but-random pieces of information. Yet all too often, tracking down that information is harder than it should be.

While there are lots (and lots) of ways to organize your family’s information, I’ve found one of best methods is a household binder.

Not only are binders inexpensive and quick to assemble, but they are highly customizable, efficient to use, and easy for the entire family to access.

Creating a physical “database” of the information you access most can…quite simply…save you time, stress, and frustration day in and day out!

Supplies Needed

To assemble a home management binder for you (and your family), here are the supplies you will need to gather:

• Large 3-Ring Binder
  • My colorful binder is from the Greenworks Binder Collection
• White Copy Paper
• Page Protectors
• 3 Hole Punch
• Color Printer – this is the one I have
• The Family HUB | Printable Home Management Binder Kit

How to Assemble Your Home Management Binder

Assembling a “life binder” or “family binder” is pretty straight forward:

1. Purchase The Family HUB Printable Binder Kit.
2. Decide on which sections/pages YOU need.
3. Type your personal information into the fillable pages (or you can write on the pages by hand after printing).
4. Print your desired sections/pages with your home printer.
5. Punch holes on one side of each page.
6. Insert pages into your binder.
7. Organize sections with dividers and tabs, if desired.
8. Keep in a secure location (especially if personal, bank information is included).
9. Add calendar reminders to re-visit/update the binder information quarterly.

Assembling a home management binder that is actually useful isn’t hard, but figuring out what all to put in it can be! What information should be included? How do you format it? How should everything be organized so you can actually find things?

What Is The Family HUB?

HUB stands for Home Use Binder; and this system is an expansive series of printable sections that, when used together, become your family’s “Information HUB” – a one-stop-spot for all the information regarding your family, your home, your money, your health, and so much more.

How Is The Family HUB Organized?

The Family HUB system is organized into 16 color-coded section (shown below). These comprehensive-yet-intuitive categories are what allow you to keep your information sorted and easy to find at all times.

Do You Have to Use Every Section?

Not at all! In fact, I don’t recommend it! The Family HUB is designed so that you can print whatever sections and pages you need for the stage of life you’re in, making this system flexible, customizable, and ultimately…exactly what you need to organize your home, life and family!
