Kids rooms

This week our preparations for Christmas is a bit easier.  We are going to declutter and clean the kids room, or maybe a bonus room if you have one.  One thing you want to consider is cleaning out the toys, as new ones will be coming in.

Our holiday checklist this week consist of:

(below taken from Organized Christmas, Houseworks Holiday Plan)

• Seasonal Spruce-Up exercise.  Complete the seasonal spruce-up exercise to plan any pre-holiday home improvements. Make a realistic list of home improvement chores to complete before the holiday season.
• Declutter children's toys.  Work with your child to reduce clutter in the toy closet.  Assessing the remaining toys will help you make a good gift list.
• Begin collecting stocking stuffers.  Use a Stocking Stuffers inventory (get it here) form to remind you about stocking gifts on hand.
• Hit the back-to-school clearance sales.  After-season sales are a great source for stocking stuffers and crafts supplies.  Don't forget to load up on tape and scissors at bargain prices!
• Consult the kids and decide on Halloween costumes.  Schedule any sewing sessions in good time to be completed by October 10.
• Plan family Advent celebrations.  Look for creative ways to make the season come alive at the library or on the Web.  Order any day-by-day materials or Advent calendars now.
• Divide the Christmas card list (get your list form here) into five sections. Complete one section this week.  Goal:  to be finished writing, signing and addressing cards by November 1.

Making a list and checking it twice

Hi and welcome back to “Country Christmas”.  I can’t believe that the holidays will be here before we know it.  Christmas is my favorite holiday.  It has been ever since I was a small child.   I have always tried to make Christmas  special for my family, I like going the extra mile and making them feel special, but first things first.  In order for everything to come together, you have to have a plan .…
One of the first places I start any major project,  is with a  list, and over the years the one I run too to help me out is at Organized Christmas. This week, is the  kick off the Houseworks  Holiday Plan. And I almost forgot to share it with you all. 
This week we are concentrating on just the planning and all the paperwork we will need to help us through this process.
