Here it is! My organization project I've been talking about. Binder organization. Instead of putting papers inside of file folders inside of hanging files inside of a filing cabinet, I put my papers separated by dividers inside of my binder. I find it much easier to find the papers when they are in the binders because I can just flip through the papers on the binder ring. It may not be for everybody but I encourage you to try it out if you are trying to find a way to organize your papers. I have a binder for Income, Bills, Statements, Medical, and Auto files.
Inside the Income binder, we have a divider tab for my income and Mr. Bell's income. Inside the Bills binder, we have a tab for each bill we pay including our propane, electric, city, tv/phone/internet, and dues for Mr. Bell's work. Inside the Statements binder, we just have our bank statements and investment statements.
Inside the Medical and Auto binders, I have a place for Insurance Information. Inside the Medical binder I have a place for our Doctor bills and a place for other papers we receive from our insurance company. In the Auto binder the second tab is a place for our car maintenance receipts.

So there's a little bit of a "walk thru" through my binders. If you would like to get this printables they will soon be available in my Etsy shop. Also, if you would like them personalized for your needs I would be more than happy to do that.
Yeah, I said I couldn't think of an Etsy shop name. With a little research, my wheels starting turning, and came up with, you guessed it...OrganizingU. (hence the post name). Click on that name and it'll take you right to my Etsy shop. :) I also created a Facebook Page. Click on "page" and it'll take you directly to my Facebook page. Go "like" it! Do it! Right now! :) As of this moment I have uploaded, I think, 9 printables. I have a list of about 75 that I still need to create. So it'll be growing for a while. yay! I love when I have a plan for the future and it's not over once I put an hours work into it, then I just hope something happens. This is great! I've uploaded the printables I mentioned in my last post; Password Organizer, Medication Tracker, Watch Baby Grow, and the Financial Budget Tracker. Go. Check. It. Out! And I am still working on the organizational project from my last post just for the mere fact that I've been trying to get this Etsy shop up and running. I haven't really had much time to work on my project. Anyway..I'm not at all excited or anything. Can't wait to see what you think about all this exciting stuff happening. If you have any ideas on what other printables I can make or something you would like to use in your daily life, let me know. much love, mrs. bell
Well, this is probably the quickest turn around for my blog posts. Last post was exactly a week ago, I can't believe it!
Anyways.....
I have a little project I'm going to start as far as blogging goes. I've always loved school supplies and office supplies. I've always loved organizing. And I've always loved when things are in their place. Ya know what they say, "a place for everything and everything in it's place". Yep, that pretty much makes my heart go pitter-patter. :)
So, as I've been talking to my mom about organizing and showing her pictures of things I've been organizing, she says, hello! blog about it, start a Facebook page. So I'm going to work on it.
I've also starting making excel spreadsheet type things to organize various parts of my life and have made several other templates for other people to input their information to organize their lives. Some things I have made are "Watch Baby Grow" (one in a generic baby, one in blue for boy, and one in pink for girl), Financial Budget Tracker, Medication Tracker, and Password Organizer. This is also something else I honestly enjoy doing in my spare time. With all these things I'm creating I've also thought about starting an Etsy shop but can't think of a name, therefore, it's at a stand still. Any idea? Feel free to throw them out there.
My plan is that my next blog post will be on a organizing project. It's half way done! So maybe I can finish it tomorrow and take some pictures to share with you all. Yay! Ah, I'm excited just talking about it.
If you have an idea of an organization project I could post about please comment and let me know! I need some ideas!
This is just way too exciting. Can't wait to share with you.
How about this amazing weather today?! Ah, I'm absolutely loving it. Can you say flip-flops?!
Anyway, I'm not going to attempt to recap what has happened since my last post since it's been for-ev-er ago.
Some things that have happened..let's see:
We had Easter last weekend. We went to the lake and spent the weekend with my family. It was great with amazing weather. Did I mention I am so excited for this weather?
As far as the house search goes, Mr. Bell and I found a house we both love. We even put in an offer, ah! Talk about scary. So, we put in an offer, they countered, we countered, they countered, and finally we declined. We just didn't feel it was the amount we wanted to pay. We had set our price before we offered the first time. And guess what? After we declined, they just came back two days ago with "our price". The exact price. Now we're both thinking, "okay, is this meant to be or just a coincidence?" We decided we wanted to go check out the house again, take a little walk through, and see if we still have that feeling, the one we had when we first walked through. That being said, we're going to look at in about 3 hours. We shall see what happens. We're both super excited but super nervous at the same time.
This weekend, after we check out the house, we're headed back home to see the family. Our plan at this moment is to go to Mr. Bell's family farm to fish tomorrow and get a little tan. :)
That's pretty much all that's going on in our lives right now. The main things. Oh, and my little brother is growing like crazy! He's going to be 2 in 2 months. I can't believe it! Other than this stuff it's just school, work, and living our lovely married life.
Hope you are enjoying this weather as much as I am. Have a great weekend everyone!
