Your family’s Home Management Binder should include useful, organized pages where you can keep all of the contact information for the people and places that you call the most. Here are some pages for you to consider adding to your Home Management Binder:

• Favorite restaurants (include notes about your family’s favorite dishes)
• Neighbors (you never know when you might need the people around you to let the dog out when you are stuck in traffic or check on an older child when you are out of town or borrow some sugar)
• School (for sick days and questions for the teacher)
• Babysitters (include contact info, pay rate, days/hours of availability)
• Doctors (including dentists, eye drs, and each member of your family’s doctor)
• Mechanic (good mechanics are hard to find!)
• Hair Salon (don’t go for weeks because you don’t feel like finding the number to make an appointment)
• Church (include names of the people you would likely need to talk to)
• Utilities Companies (electricity, gas, telephone, cell phone, trash, internet, cable)
• Library / Post Office (list hours of operation and other details you might need to know)

You can find pages to record all of the above in Contact Information or in Contacts ePlanner from ListPlanIt.com.

Whose contact information do you find it most useful to keep in a convenient place?
