On to Week 2! Week 2 completion is looking pretty good for me already.....Keep plugging away ladies, it will be worth it!
This Week's Household Checklist
Declutter and clean creative spaces - done . I am not crafty so I do not have a "craft" work area. I used this time to make sure the home office was good to go, the wrapping station is organized and the my binder is all set up.
Assess stored crafts materials - done. This doesn't really apply to me, since I do not craft, but I will mark this as complete for the self instant gratification!
This Week's Holiday Prep Checklist
Create a seasonal calendar - done. Everything went into my calendar on my binder. I even "scheduled" a few "no planning days", which I will use to catch up on anything that I fell behind on.
Plan holiday travel - done. We do not travel anywhere over the holidays, however I really wanted to go to Ocean City for their Christmas parade and carriage rides, I planned this out and reserved out room. Looks like it will finally happen this year! Now I just have to convince my DD softball coach to not plan anything for the team that weekend.
Hold a scheduling session - ON HOLD! This is always a tricky one for me. I want to plan it all now and figure out with my extended family who will be hosting (me or my sister), times, menu's, etc. This is always on hold as my sister is still going through a nasty divorce and sadly, the kids are in the middle. She never knows this early what the schedule with my nieces and nephew will look like, when she will have them etc. So this will be on hold until her and her future Ex can get their at together. I do not hold much hope this will be anytime soon. Sigh
Start a set of tear files - done. I have moved some recipes that I tore out and some decorating ideas from the folder into their correct place in my binder.
Start a shopping list. - This is one task that is not done. I am hoping to get this done on Wednesday. I want to go through my cookie recipes and make my lists of all of the baking supplies I still need. Up to now, I have been haphazardly buying extra supplies when I go grocery shopping. (Sugar, flour, vanilla, etc). I need to organize this. I probably have way to much cinnamon and not enough of something or other....lol. I will update once completed. UPDATE - COMPLETED better late than never
Review gift lists - done. This is completed. I have over 75% of my shopping completed...and wrapped! I even have the gifts I have yet to get organized by paycheck so I know what I am getting when.
Inventory unfinished crafts projects - done. Again I do not craft, so here goes the instant gratification cross that off the list yeah me scenario!
Begin a "Gifts to Bake" list. - done. Since I do not craft, I change this from Make to Bake. The list is relatively the same every year, but I took inventory of the tins I have, and what I have to get.
I will now hop on over to HGP and see if there is anything on there that I can get accomplished as well.
Rock on!
