If the boxes are too small, I use a sticky note, and place it in the appropriate month. I only carry the current and the next month of 2PPD. When I remove a month, I keep the tabbed month in my FC binder. I find the Index pages invaluable.

She called me a nerd (fondly!). It says Franklin Quest in the binder, aniline leather and made in Korea. I know some were made in the USA but this one wasn't. It has a detachable shoulder strap and a big gusseted pocket on the front.
