The first ebook is all about managing your home and family. There are lots of them out there, and I prefer mine. =) While others have some handy sections, others are missing content, especially if you are a mom and need help managing it all.
FREE Home Management Binders
Home Management Binder can be described in different ways. An older term could be home economics, which would include various life management tasks and domestic things that are finished weekly, monthly, yearly, or every so often. Another word associated with home management is husbandry, which involves budgeting and housekeeping. I define it here as a reference guide that helps manage and plan cleaning, personal family information, food intolerance meal planning, house maintenance and repairs, emergency planning, and financial organizing.
While there are many ebooks you can buy on the subject, I found one from BirchTree Organizing in Canada and mine that are free to use.

Wow! This is quite a collection of material on so many organizing-related topics. It would have been impressive even if you'd only shared your own, but you really went all-out to spotlight material in all areas. I really love the depth and breadth of content referenced here!

Linda Samuels says
What a great list of resources, Sabrina!
It's always great to know what's available electronically. And when lists are involved, I see the value of accessing and altering documents. For reading, I generally prefer good old 'paper' books. Maybe that's because I spend so much time on my computer. I like a break from the screen time.
However, I know from both a cost, ecology, and efficiency aspect e-books are valuable. Thank you for sharing your favorites.
