  Thank you!

Today I am focusing on getting my "sitter" section in my Household Binder prepared.  Why?

Because IHeart my boys:

And IHeart my dog:

Leaving them either for 10 minutes or 10 days, is never an easy thing to do.  And to give myself some peace of mind, I have created some tools that provide the one caring my for loves, the information necessary to be successful and safe.

I have been using this babysitter notesheet for quite awhile when it comes to the little men.... it's worked out really wonderfully thus far!

I also sell customizable options in my Etsy shop:

I decided that the more information we could keep in the binder, the better.  We also needed a pet sitter notesheet for our lovely pooch!

And one for you?

The pet sitter note sheet will be great when he is in care of another, so they know how much to feed him and when, emergency contacts and that he loves to be scratched behind his ears...

Now, back to the kiddos.  I have found that my guys really thrive off of maintaining a good routine.  So, to make things as easy on them and the sitter, I have created a new sheet, that allows me to place information into time slots for each of the boys.  That way, the one caring for them will be able to have a glance at what to expect and when, and keep them in the norm as much as possible while mom and dad are away!

And the free printable for you:

And just to ensure that anyone hanging out with the kiddos has an idea of how to handle a scary episode {not to be Debbie downer, but to be prepared}, I found some resources on Babycenter.com on CPR, that I printed off and inserted as well.

So there you have it!  Tomorrow I will do a giant celebratory WE DID IT post where I will share the binder from front to back and ask you to do the same!  I am SO giddy excited about this!

And someone asked about the free printables.  I will extend the free PDF's on the sidebar until the end of next week {4/9/11}, to give everyone time to finish up.  After that, I will be offering personalized options in my Etsy shop.

I decided a little challenge would be fun! This month we are creating a Home Management Binder!  Wanna Join in?  Take photos and blog about your awesomeness as you go!  I am hoping to do a giant, "We did it!" celebratory post where we can all link up our binder creating success stories at the end of the month!
