My HMB!!!

Here it is! I have finally managed to get this on here. I am still following Candy thru HMB U so there will be a lot tweaking yet to come. But overall I think I pretty much have it all organized. Much better than trying to keep all this in my head (or various pieces of paper thru out the house :p).


This is the cover. My verse is "She looketh well to the ways of her household, an eateth not the bread of idleness." Proverbs 31:27:





Next, my front page:

After that is my Rules Page. This includes my "rules" lists (Children's Rules, A Wise Woman, A Woman's Rules to Live By, Rules for Mothers in Training Her Children, 10 Steps to a Happy Household) Most of these can be found on Candy's blog. I don't really see them as rules as much as reminders.


This is my Monthly Calendar Section. It contains a year at a glance and month at a glance pages.

This is my Schedules Section. In it I have my Routines (Morning, Afternoon, Evening), my Master Schedule, my Grocery Day To Do List, my Friday-Saturday& Sunday To Do Lists (since we only school 4 days a week, Mon-Thurs. Weekends we do things like some character studies, extra chores, baking or just fun. This is also when I like to do nature studies and art projects), and my Sunday Prep List to help me remember things to get ready for Sunday Morning.

This is my Meal Planning Section. It is where I keep my One Month Meal Planner page, my Master Grocery List, my Food Prep List (those things to be prepped for the week like baking mix & such), and any articles on menu planning.

This is the Home Maintenance Section. It contains my cleaning lists such as my Daily, Focus, & Project cleaning. I also have my kid's Table Chore & Daily Chore lists there. And lastly, any articles like my homemade cleaning solutions pages.


This is my Homeschooling Section. It has a summer and "regular" school schedule in it. I don't really do year round school. Hubby prefers to have that time more free. So, we generally do some light reminder studies. (Like Math on Mondays, Grammer on Tuesdays, ect. And only like a page or worksheet or something.) Then there is my regular school schedule which include more solid studies. I am looking to incorporate some of the Charlotte Mason techniques, but for now our main curriculum is the Rod & Staff courses.



Here is where I keep all my Phone/Address/Email pages and such.



This is the Recipe Section. I keep copies of the paticular favorites that we come across to help with meal planning.


This is my Bible Study Section where I keep a chart of the Old & New Testament books and mark them as I read them. I also keep any paricular notes I have as I am reading, for further study.

This is my Personal Journal Section where I keep just that. I keep records of special things that happen or that the kids did. It is nice to have a section for this since I used to have all kinds of little papers lying around that I would just grab and write on so as not to forget. This is paricularly useful with my 2 year old since he is constantly changing. :)

This Section is called Body Clutter (and yes, I coined that from the Flylady). It is where I keep my exercise routine and any health related articles, especially on herbs.

I titled this section Womanhood. It is where I keep my particular Bible Studies on that subject. (Being a housewife, mother, ect.) I am currently studying the True Womanhood books from the Pearables website.

And here is the final (for now) section of my HMB. It is just where I keep any and everything that doesn't fit into my other sections.

And there you have it! It is a work in progress, and ever changing as life does. If you would like more detailed info. on my schedules or anything else feel free to ask and I will be happy to post it. Till Later!! :)
