I write my grocery lists in the order of the store, not in a list form....so all the fruits I need are grouped together on the paper sideways in the area where the fruit would be in the grocery store. It makes it easier to see instantly what I need in which aisle and prevents backtracking. My mom always did this and I swore I would never know a grocery store layout by heart but now that I'm the mom, I sure do!
Oh my gosh, Kel! I have always said I should invent a pad of paper set up like the grocery store, with the aisle items written at the top of columns so people could list what they needed under each aisle. I guess you already do my great invention :) I love it!
As for how I organize, I am obsessed with my laundry room, and have a long shelf above my washer and dryer. It is long enough for 4 big laundry baskets, which I keep on the shelves. When someone has dirty laundry, they put it in the correct basket- one for "colds", one for "warms", one for "towels" and one for "whites." This way my laundry is already sorted and I know to do a load when a basket is full.

I would buy your grocery note pad Amy! :)
I created a binder for our baby-sitters. Currently, we only have our family baby-sit the boys but it still makes me feel at ease knowing I have the baby-sitting bible available for our family. I am positive that our parents think we are being a little over cautious but it makes me feel better. So heres the scoop:
It is just a plain white binder that is divided into several sections. The sections are as follow:
1. Family Contacts- This section has every phone number they would ever need. From our cell phone and work numbers, pediatrician's number, poison control, all of the grandparents information, etc.
2. Feedings- Meal suggestions and tips.
3. Schedules- Nap, snack, medication, and meal scheduels. Misc. tips and suggestions to make the day easier.
4. First Aid- Basic first aid tips and locations of important first aid equipment.
5. Illness- Medication and temperature guidelines.
6. Travel Information and Authorizations- If we are traveling, I list all of our travel plans. I also leave a form that gives our parents authorization to give medical consent for our children while we are gone, God for bid, they need be taken to the hospital and need treatment. I also leave an insurance card for them too.
Yea..I know, this is a bit much! :) It makes me feel much better to have the baby-sitter bible! Plus, once you do it, it is always ready to go you may just have to update here and there.
