So I have this lovely Cherry colored book that sits in my kitchen, and until this week it has just sat there... empty. Just looking pretty but doing nothing for me.

I gathered up a few ideas and came up with a list of what information would be most useful to keep handy. Here are a few of my ideas:

Emergency Information
Regularly used recipes
Phone list
Birthday list
Babysitting Instructions
Meal Planning Information
Monthly Cleaning Chart
Freezer Inventory
Pantry Inventory
Schedules for Church events
and more...

This week I printed and filled out forms and they are now nicely organized in my kitchen folio. I have lots of empty room in the folio for more information as needed.

Here are a few pictures, They're not all that exciting because when I started to take photos I realized that lots of the pages included private information, names or phone numbers that I didnt' want to share with the entire world. But here ya go! ( be sure to scroll to the end for a free download of one of my favorite forms!)
