The HMB

The HMB is one of my favorite tools!

It stands for Home Management Binder.

I created mine about 4 years ago and got the

idea from a group I was a part of on CafeMom,

back when that was cool.

It is my household guide book and is responsible

for keeping me sane on a daily basis.

 I will give you an idea of what I keep in my

personal HMB and hopefully you will be inspired

enough to make one!

I can't tell you how useful it is!

That is my HMB in a nutshell. To give you a

head start on your own HMB, I designed some title

pages and added them to my Etsy store!

If you plan on making one you will need to get

a 3-ring binder, page protectors, and dividers.
