Todays Challenge Got me Thinking

Here we are only 99 days til Christmas.  I am kind getting worried.  I need to get more of my handmade items for Christmas made.  I have some really great ideas but need to put them into play.  I am excited about Christmas present we are giving everyone from our family it will be really cool but I need to start getting it together.

Today’s challenge is another easy one for me because I am some what of an organization freak.  We need to print off a September, October, November and December Calendar.  Jennifer offers all this calendars for print over at 100 Days To Christmas.  She also has a list of all Holidays that you can print off so that you can add them to the front of your Holiday Planner.  The nice thing about my holiday planner is that I can use it for every year or every holiday.  Although the fall and winter holidays are my favorite it is still a great idea to end up putting every holiday in there.

Jennifer who is the founder of 100 Days to Christmas is also the owner of my all time favorite place in the whole world.  List Planit.  I am so addicted to list that this site is truly and awesome site.  :)

Well off to get my Calendar pages put in my planner and my holidays added.

Spring means time for spring cleaning

Can you believe that spring is already here.  The rain we have been getting here has caused our grass to grow super fast.  All the beautiful spring flowers have started to pop up all over the place.  We have began to plant our garden.  Every where I look spring is peeking out at me.  Including the cleaning my house needs.

I alway do a spring cleaning and a fall cleaning.  I get down and dirty.  I clean things, get rid of things, organize things.  I know the family hates when I get this way but they love the clean house they get afterwards.

This year I am a member of  ListPlanit and I love it there. As many of you know I am a huge list, paper and pen person so when I found out about listplanit I was so excited.  I found this awesome spring cleaning list.  WOOOOOO HOOOOOO.  That is what I am talking about.  Now I am sitting down and assigning some of the cleaning chores to hubby and the kids.

So how do you go about your spring cleaning?

A Holiday EPlanner You Must Have

I am addicted to list and writing things by hand.  There I admitted it.  I am probley one of tht biggest list makers you will ever meet.  Seriously most list I have, have list themselves.  I think it is part of the organization freak found in me.

I could not tell you how exicted and happy I was when I found Holiday EPlanner by Listplanit.com.  I seriously could not wait to get my hands on it.  And once it was in my hands I could not wait to get started working on it. Holiday EPlanner had everything I had hoped for, wanted and needed to get my holiday action plan in motion.

Once I had it printed off and safely tucked in my home binder.  I was on a mission.  I started feeling out the pages.  I want to share with you my favorite pages:

  • The December Calendar (started writing in important dates on it right away)
  • Cards to Send (I got out my list from last year of people who sent us cards and started adding)
  • Cards Received ( can’t wait to start receiving cards)
  • Wish List (this is an awesome list and I have already started adding to it)
  • Gift List (A,B,C) I have already started filling these out
  • Holiday Meal Planner (this is awesome because I have already started planning my meal and actually I am going to use it to plan my Thanksgiving meal too)
  • Holiday Gifts Received (now why did I not think of that.  This year I get to write down what we received and send out thank you cards)
  • Holiday Memories (What a great tradition I can start by writing down my favorite memories every year)
  • Holiday coolies and candy planner (this year is my first year I am making cookies and candy so I needed this)
  • Advent Activity Planner (this is awesome and she has an example one too.)

Those are just my favorites and there are still tons more that I did not even mention.  I know I know now you are wishing you had one.  Well Listplanit.com has given me permission to give one away.  So all you need to do is GO visit http://listplanit.com and leave me a comment here on  on how much you would love a Holiday EPlanner and how you would use it and on Nov. 21st I will give away a free Holiday EPlanner to One Lucky Person.
