list of steps to creating your summer central binder

If you have a home management binder or a holiday binder, then you know how useful it can be to have a central place to keep calendars and information.  Having a place to prepare for the busy summer can be just as useful.  A summer central binder works as both a guide and a workbook for upcoming plans and as a record of experiences and a reference for future summers.  Finding a permanent and convenient home for all lists,planning pages, and information concerning the summertime is a great idea.  After you gather the necessary supplies, and assemble your binder, keep it in a handy location so it can be referred to quickly and changed or added to as needed.

Make summer planning a snap when you purchase the 100 Days of Summertime eBook.  You’ll find activities, reminders, and ideas to make summertime a breeze.  The eBook conveniently contains a workbook of 34 printable lists/planning pages that can be printed or typed into.
