Household Routines File Set Up: OVERVIEW

It’s that time of the year when we start thinking about resolutions for the New Year and many times they involve getting things to run a little smoother.

I’m going to share with you a file system that we had set up a couple of years ago and we still refer back to it every now and then or when things seem to have gotten a little off track.

Wedding prep to Hurricane prep – updated with product links!

This first photos didn’t load properly so I’m trying again…
