Getting Organized For The Holidays

 The holidays are finally here and I don't know if I'm more excited about eating or decorating. Both can be stressful when you're also squeezing in family, shopping, and seasonal events. Take a deep breath and grab your favorite hot drink because this list is going to help make your holiday season merry and bright!

  1. Reorganize your holiday schedule. It is easy to overextend ourselves, but limiting ourselves to what we enjoy doing the most will make this season extra special.
  2. This next step is one that I cannot live without - make a list! Create a master list with all of your major holiday to-do's such as prepping your home, gift giving, and holiday party hosting. Once you have all of your thoughts on paper, try ordering your list and checking it off top to bottom. 
  3. The holidays are the perfect time to de-clutter and purge in order to make room for incoming cards and gifts. You don't need to go overboard as well. It can be as simple as taking 10 minutes to fill one bag for trash or donate. 

Wishing everyone a happy and joyous holiday season as we try and navigate through the rest of 2020. Cheers to 2021 being a better year!
