Is anyone else getting excited about this years House & Holiday Plan?

Maybe it's a distraction from the oppressive heat we're having, but I've been thinking about the plan a lot lately and going over lists in my head. I can't wait to get started!

Anybody else?

I already started LOL. I tackled my foyer over the weekend, cleaned everything, delcuttered and purged. The hall closet is next on my list and then I am tackling the kitchen cabinets.
Good for you!!

The pantry will get done this week at some point. I need to do inventory before my giant restocking shopping trip ( triple points at the grocery store!).
I have a quilt to make for Christmas, once that’s done I will be in full cleaning mode. I don’t like leaving my gift making to the last minute. Plan to start in the laundry room. I am anxious to get started!!!

I tackled my desk and now on to the dreaded paper mountain. Between losing my home, insurance claims, rebuilding our home and life in general the paperwork/receipts is suffocating. I wanted this out of the way since it's the most dreaded. I lost my Christmas binder so I will be starting from scratch.

I'm a HGPer and have been thinking about it, but waiting for the calendar to be updated. I don't want to get into too much deep cleaning when it's still to hot out.

Me! Me! I'll be doing the HHP. :)

I'm not sure if the website will be updated but I do have in my own personal notes that it tends to start on the first Sunday of September. If that is the case, then I believe it will start on September 5th.

I lose 2 weeks this year because of DDs wedding in October and DH and I post wedding holiday. Have to factor in that so I will perhaps be starting the last week of August.

Oh, guess what? I just checked the Organized Home site and this is what I saw:

Organized Home site network is on the move



We're relocating and upgrading our Web site network, as we prepare for 2021 Christmas features. Please check back in a day or two; we'll be getting organized and getting ready for Christmas soon!

Soooo exciting...

Ooooo... HHP has been updated for the 2021 holiday cleaning season! Looking at the calendar there, the plan starts on August 29th! That's in 10 days! I was a whole week off!

I'm looking forward to this. These holiday cleaning plans have been a nice steady comfort over the years. In a time when nothing really seems nice and steady, it is very welcomed here.

One week until the House and Holidays Plan starts! I'm already dreaming of doing some deep decluttering and deep cleaning in the rooms. I have the cleaning supplies ready. Oh, except one I just realized.

I started to use Method brand all purpose cleaner in the apple scent a few years ago. I ran out of it last year and I couldn't find it in stock at Target. I have to go out and see if I can find it. If I can't find it, I guess I'll have to burn an apple scented candle while cleaning. :D Last year, I was just thankful to have Lysol. What a difference a year makes!

Ive got started. Back hallway and laundry room and closet are done except for the floors.
Yes, holiday cleaning is comforting here too. I’m a pine sol girl here. Most likely because that’s what mom used.

I'm a HGPer who may be switching over. I never really paid attention to this particular plan before. I looked at it today & I think I like it.
