So my living room is looking better, my bedroom and the side entrance look good, and I'm starting to think I'm going to need to rotate this Grand Plan from www.organizedchristmas.com throughout the year!
This week the plan focuses on the master bath and linen closet. Neither of which we have. :-) So I'm going to work on the living room built-ins. My home is from the Arts and Crafts era (would love, love, love to restore it to honor that some day), so there are a lot of built-ins in the living room, window seat, cabinets, etc. For some reason I always feel better organizing and purging those areas than I do the stuff that is in the open and you see every day! Go figure. Anyhow, I wish I had a master bath and linen closet, but I don't, so this will work.I'm also pretty well kept up on the holiday prep list. All I want to do is the freezer meal this week. I don't really make all that many holiday goodies and I won't start my gift shopping in earnest until after my Christmas Club account pays out in a few weeks. I do, however, need to make a stop at the Dollar Store and get a few things for Operation Shoebox and Christmas stockings. Do you know how hard it is to find inexpensive things for a teenage boy to put in his stocking? Anyhoo, I've already inventoried the kids' winter clothes, and they are all set with that; and we don't have any toys really to go through. The kids have been pretty good at getting rid of things on their own the past few years without much urging from me, which is really nice to see.
So, that's how the week is shaping up. I really do think I need to rotate this plan through the year. It's only week 5, and it's already making a big difference!
