Family CCC "Central Command Center"

Does anyone else struggle with organization like me?  Recently I missed the boys' once a month scheduled play time at our local daycare on Base.  I received a "warning".  If I miss one more time, I get a second warning, then the boys can't attend again for 30 days!

With our weekly baby doc appts on the horizon, Eli starting school, bills piled up and never opened, my coaching business at home, etc....it was TIME for a CCC!  This is a central place for the family to stay organized and have important papers, etc ALL in one place. It's a place to "Check in" for calendar and daily to do lists, meal plans, school business, etc. Here are my tips in case you decide to start also:


Find a central place that works for everyone. Make your list of "must have's for your family":

Ours were:

* Monthly Calendar - without it our life is a MESS (still filling it in)

* File Hanger - 
1. Financial Peace (contains our budget, incoming-pending-paid(to file) folders
2. Mommy & Daddy folder (for all things important) ;) & a BABY file for all baby's papers
3. Eli's school folder (found this cute anchor folder for his new "Anchor" school) :)

* Corkboard - Important invite cards, lists, etc

* White board - Inspirational quotes, important reminders, etc

* Clipboard to print out weekly or monthly meal plans - a MUST as I haven't been doing it

* Basket - Backpack drop off






To my fellow Coaches, Sisters, Friends, Family - PREPARATION is KEY as we KNOW.  What better time to get organized than having the Fall season on the horizon?  Hope this may help you with a few ideas anyway.  We'll be focusing on Meal Prepping ALOT in Sept! I'll be sharing a Meal Plan template that you can print for your home too.
