Organization....(blah, blah, blah)

I am the worst at staying organized! I will start the process but stop midway through because I get lazy! But this time I had a wake up call when we were looking for some of Emma’s paperwork. Basically get a better system and stick with it!

I was watching the view a couple of days ago and saw the segment on the new Martha Stewart organization items at Staples (oh and by the way this post is ALL my own, no compensation received). I fell in love with it, because we currently have a system of our corkboard in the kitchen but I think we could do a lot better with the Wall Manager…

This is what our system currently looks like…

I love our cork board because it reminds us of the things we need to do. I put up appointments, something for encouragement, bills that need to be paid, and events that we have RSVP for! I also put everything in our Google Calendars as well. I feel like we only have one child now, but if we get in the routine of doing this now once we have more children we will already be organized!!

So on this portion of the wall I am thinking about adding the Martha Stewart Wall Manager (pic above)!

Or something like this…

I knew that I needed to get more organized, but it really became a priority when we had a meeting with the BCMH Coordinator Monday morning. On Monday, the BCMH (Bureau for Children with Medical Handicaps) came to visit our house and talk about Emma. Emma qualifies for this program because she was born with a cleft lip/palate. Basically they pick up the cost of doctors appointments and co-pays after Insurance. So whatever Insurance doesn’t pay, BCMH will…THANK YOU JESUS! As we were talking about everything I had to bring “Emma’s Business Bin” in the front to get out paperwork from when she was born, and just all her papers. While looking through there looking for a particular paper I realized I needed a better system of this…
