When blogger Elizabeth and her friend Kim took on the challenge to create a home management binder, they aimed high.

Deciding to create more than just a simple binder for household information, they envisioned their notebooks as "living books" that would help teach their daughters to keep house. Better, they shared skills and inspiration to create two very pretty, very distinctive family binders.

In these posts, Elizabeth shares her Foss Family Home Companion, while Kim outlines her Family Management Journal. Both binder tours go further: they explain the thinking behind these two young mothers' decision to create order for their families, now and for the future.
