Holiday_Mom -- Amen sister! (on the gradual work laying the foundation). I now have a habit tracker in my notebook and I'm trying to be super good about it. This plan is now one of the habits I track so it stays top of mind through the week.
Much going on here which has nothing to do with any of this so it is SO helpful to come back to this forum over the weekend and look at my list and see if I crammed this stuff into my week. I did on some of it and others not yet. So that will happen today.
Worked in advance and cleared out and defrosted my freezer. So now I just have to do some freezer cooking to fill it - so I'll be on that freezer thread quite a bit in the near future. I need to place a meat order too. Uhm, might have missed that deadline.
Talked to DS and we will be going through his clothes today. I'll be in the city this week to get the car ready for winter and hopefully the clothing sales will on for the change in seasons. Back later with a full recap of what all I got done this week.
Winter gear -- Put away the summer gear and picnic baskets and replaced with ski gear and boots so I don't need to deal with it over the holidays. Also put up a hanging shoe organizer in the coat closet (its not really for shoes -- shoes wouldn't fit but its one of those clear hanging organizers). Anyhow, I moved all of our gloves and scarves into it and now it is really easy to see and grab them rather than having to sort through the box to find a matching pair.
