Family Brain Binder (free printable)

I'm starting to organize the items on my to-do list.  I've made the "Family Brain Binder" top priority, mostly because it's easy.  I started with a $1 "Better" binder from Staples and a few packs of half-size page protectors from Walmart.  I designed my binder cover, which you can download here.  I also printed a few handy things from other blogs, like a calendar (here) and a birthday tracker (here).  Both blogs have lots of planner printables to satisfy even the most OCD person.

I don't usually cook with recipes, but I have a few baking ones that I like to have on hand.  I was able to print them from a cooking website by setting the margins so the text was as wide as a half-page.  It's not beautiful, but it's good enough for the couple times a year that I need those recipes.  I still need to type up a few other recipes, but those can be done later.

I also need to update our family emergency information and phone number lists.  I'll probably start on them soon, but they won't be ready for the binder until after we move.  A new town means new doctors, pharmacy, dentist, emergency contacts, etc.

To me, the best part about the family binder is that it is expandable.  If I decide to add more information later, I can do it!  If I want to make a separate recipe binder, I can just slide the recipes I've already made into the new one.  Even though the binder will never be "done," I'm calling it finished and checking it off the list.
