I've been on such an emotional high since Tuesday that I really don't have much to blog about.
I've been getting myself organized in regards to Thanksgiving and Christmas and today I made two more of the things I'm making for Christmas gifts....I'm almost ready to share...
One of the things I always do is start a small notebook for holiday planning. In it, I jot down gift ideas for giving and a wish list for me (so when the guys ask me what I want, I have something for them to go off of), I write down activities that I would like us to do and I also do all the menu planning in my notebook.
The notebook I use, has pockets and this is where I store coupons to use or recipe or home decor clippings from magazines that I want to try.
I'm an early shopper because I find I enjoy the holidays a WHOLE lot more when my gift shopping is 80% done by the 1st of December. I alway leave Fred and Connor for the end, but usually have a pretty good idea on what I'm getting them, so then it just a matter of going out and finding it or looking for it online.

Festive new template, Kristina! :-)
Now you are too darn organized for your own good! :-) Just kidding, of course! Your holiday planner is a great idea. Looking forward to seeing all that you do for the holidays!
So, ummm, now that you've organized your holidays, wanna come do mine? LOL. I like your new template, and always enjoy the tunes :)
Now if I could just get Jeff to give me his wish list prior to 7 days before Christmas...
:)
I hope to get a few Thanksgiving and Christmas crafts done with Christopher this year since we had such fun with the Halloween ones. We'll see...
My/our wish lists are in a .doc on my laptop and I add to it anytime I think of something for me or the boys. Sh, don't tell Jeff, but in the rare event I think of something for him, it goes on there too!
I love your blog layout. It's really beautiful.
LOVE the new look on your blog---it's really lovely....
