About Us

What started out as an organizational tool for my family has now turned into a passion of mine to help others get organized.

With the encouragement of friends, I have created a system to store one’s personal and financial records. I have created The L.I.F.E. Binder (“Life Information For Emergencies”) to consolidate all those important papers in one place. The binder can be custom made to your own needs. A Microsoft Word formatted CD is provided with generic information that is replaced with your own data. The binder is sorted by categories including finances, medical records, assets and insurance, employment history, income tax returns, legal documents, and personal documents such as birth certificates and social security cards, marriage license, passports, etc.

I learned first hand what it was like to flee in an emergency. When Hurricane Rita was targeting the Texas coast in September 2005, I grabbed my family and The L.I.F.E. Binder and headed north.

After the excitement of Hurricane Rita settled down, friends shared stories about what they took when they fled and what they had wished they had taken. Many realized that they were unprepared for an emergency. I realized there was a market for The L.I.F.E. Binder and began selling them to friends.

Encouraging are the comments that I have received. So many people want to get organized but don’t know where to begin. The binder takes the guesswork out of what to keep and record, and it can be updated as information changes.

I am a “retired” CPA with a B.A. degree in Accounting from Michigan State University. I was an auditor for "a Big 8" accounting firm and an accounting manager for a computer company before leaving the work force to stay home to raise my family. I am currently employed with an oil and gas firm in Houston, TX and live in Spring, TX with my husband and 3 teenagers.
