Earlier this year I posted about my Binder system. Since then the cabinet where I store those has expanded into a few more uses. It’s become a “drop zone” for misc items that I like to have quick access to.
I have moved my calendar out of the Binder where it originally was. Having a dry erase board just works better for me. I found this one at Goodwill and just attached it with heavy duty tape. Notice we keep our vitamins in this cabinet too. I use this cabinet a lot at night right before bed…. getting everything ready for the next day, so it’s just easier to keep the vitamins in here as a reminder.
I still plan to add a piece of corkboard on this side for pinning up papers. Found this dry erase board at Goodwill too and thought it would be perfect for notes. The key holders are from a local Dollar store, again just stumbled across them. I have a tendency to lose keys because there really isn’t a designated spot, until now (crossing my fingers that it works 
)
Envelopes, return address stamp, pens, scissors all fit in this acrylic organizer. I’m also trying out the latest washi tape craze.
Anything that I need to remember to mail I clip into this dandy oversize paper clip. Helps me to not forget the few bills we still have to mail each month.
This looks like a wonderful idea. The only problem I have with it is that I currently live in a small rented double wide home (and I do mean small. I have a grand total of four, yes FOUR, drawers in my kitchen). I am looking for a larger place and hopefully will have room for a drop zone of my own. My big problem at this point is that I just have too much stuff! I feel like I am trying to put 10 pounds in a 5 pound sack.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that you may consider adding to your list is a document for the babysitter that gives them the authority to make life saving decisions for your children until you can arrive at the medical facility that they are being treated at, and include copies of health insurance cards or information so that If, Heaven forbid, something were to happen, The sitter wouldn't have to wait until you were there to be able to authorize treatment. It is essentially a very limited power of attorney.
