Today I am sharing probably the best CROCK POT recipe I have ever share, I have a RAE DUNN and GROCERY HAUL and we will begin our planning for the HOLIDAYS! There is always so much to do to prepare for the holidays that making lists and creating a plan can ease a lot of the anxiety associated with the holiday season. I use my planner to create list and a game plan to not feel overwhelmed by all that needs to be done and to help get my home ready to be decorated for Christmas!
Every year on November 1st I begin a list of all those things I want to get done before the holidays set in. I take out my planner and start a wish list all of the home projects and housekeeping chores that I need to get done before I can decorate for Christmas and before I can welcome in my first guest. By creating this list, it helps calm all those little anxieties that begin to build this time of year. Getting it all out of my head and down on paper is the first step to plan for completion (or attempted completion!) I have the same hope every year; hit the ground running on November 1st and get a huge jump on the holidays! Some years I have better luck then others but the joy is in the attempt!
I keep this list in my PLANNER and work diligently to get as much done as I can. This year we have painting the kitchen and family room on the list along with making curtains and reupholstering dining room chairs. A pretty ambitious list! We will see how much I actually accomplish! Whatever is completed will leave me in a better place than I started!
