The Notebook

No, I'm not talking about the movie, "The Notebook". I'm talking about a notebook that I put together. It is a notebook of ideas. I have had the idea of this notebook for awhile and finally got around to putting it together. What made me think of doing this kind of notebook was having different ideas, games, learning tools, information that I would like to use or need later down the road but not at the moment. Haven't you always heard of a good idea that someone has had and think, I need to remember that for when...but then you never do! Drives me crazy! Well I have been sent in the mail by Pampers information on Potty Training even a free pull up came with. I also had a friend share some Bible verses that her toddler was learning and it went along with the ABC's. I have also gathered craft ideas and Thanksgiving info and Christmas info. However, Amber is not ready to memorize bible verses, let alone potty train. So where was I got to put all that info and also remember to use it when I wanted it?! Then it hit me to make a notebook with dividers of different topics and I could put it in there. The Idea Notebook was born. So I have a potty training section, ABC Bible Verses section, Craft section, Thanksgiving section and a Christmas section for now but I can always add to it. I didn't have any normal tabs and dividers and I really didn't want to spend the money on buying some. So I just used some manila folders and cut them in half and used the half that has the tab on it already. I have a label machine so I just made labels for a neater look. I am glad I made this and hopefully now I can remember to go to the idea notebook and use it!!
