How Not to Overbook Your Christmas: Create a Christmas Bucket List

How Not to Overbook Your Christmas: Create a Christmas Bucket List

Published: by on   |  This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

I love the Christmas season. I love the sights, smells, tastes, sounds… all of it.

But you know what I don’t love? That so many people feel rushed, hurried, and frazzled during Christmas.

The heart of Christmas is not about impressing people or running around at a crazy, frantic speed. And making either of those things your focus is certainly not going to help you celebrate and savor the season!

Creating a Christmas Bucket List

One thing that has helped us to slow down and just enjoy December is to create a Christmas Bucket List. We all sit down as a family and choose a few things that each of us really wants to do for Christmas.

Last year, the girls wanted to build a snowman, play in the snow as a family, decorate Christmas cookies, and go ice-skating. I wanted to do an Advent project and take the girls to the Nutcracker, Jesse wanted to go look at Christmas lights as a family and watch one of our favorite Christmas movies together.

By the time we’re done discussing our Bucket List, we’ve come up with a great list of memorable activities to do together and since everyone gave their input, there’s something (or more than one thing) on the list that each person will really enjoy.

We spread these activities out during the whole month of December, doing a few items each week. Because our list is not long and overwhelming and because we have four weeks to do it, we’re able to really take time to enjoy each thing and create beautiful memories.

This tradition has been one of the best things we’ve ever implemented to help us stay focused, calm, and intentional during the Christmas season. And it also helps us to say “no” to most of the other ideas and opportunities that come up that aren’t already on our list.

Vistaprint

The hugely popular VistaPrint Address Labels offer is back again — but it’s only available for the next three days. You can get 140 custom Address Labels for $3.69 shipped:

::Go to VistaPrint and design your labels.

::Be sure to opt out of all the upsell offers so that you don’t incur extra charges.

::Go to check out and you should pay only $3.69 for shipping!

And there you have it! This is perfect for Christmas cards — or even to give as a gift!

Please do note that VistaPrint is notorious for sending you lots of email after you order from them so I’d recommend either unsubscribing from their emails as soon as you start getting them or giving them an email address which is not your primary address.

Huggies: Huggies Little Snugglers Diapers are on sale for as low as $0.19 each. See all Huggies deals here.

Barlean’s: This is a great deal on Barlean’s Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. Get it now for $12.12 for a 16-ounce jar.

4 Weeks to a More Organized Home {Simplified}: Day 8

Published: by on   |  This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

Welcome to the 4 Weeks to a More Organized Home {Simplified} series!

From November 5 to December 7 (skipping the week of Thanksgiving), every weekday morning at 9 a.m. EST, I’ll be posting the day’s assignment and then every evening at 7 p.m. EST, I’ll be posting my progress and pictures, along with a link-up for you to share your progress and pictures, too.

Day 8 Assignment

::Get dressed in something that makes you feel great {there’s something about dressing in clothes that make you feel great that just gives you more energy and zest for life! Get your free copy of SarahMae’s ebook, Frumps to Pumps, if you need more motivation in this.}

::Sit down with a cup of coffee or tea, refer to your list of weekly goals, and make a list of no more than 5-7 specific things you want to accomplish today.

::Set the timer for 10 minutes and go through your messiest dresser drawer. Remove items you no longer love, need, and/or wear. Quickly organize the remaining items.

::Wipe down all the door handles in your home. You can use a damp rag with a little disinfectant on it or a cleaning wipe. If you have younger children, they’d probably enjoy joining you in tackling this project!

Take pictures of your accomplishments and blog about them, if you’d like. And then come back here at 7 p.m. EST to share your progress posts or tell us about your accomplishments in a comment.

48-Hour Giveaway: Great Homeschool Convention (1 winner)

48-Hour Giveaway: Great Homeschool Convention (1 winner)

Published: by on   |  This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

Are you currently homeschooling or considering it for the future? If so, you’ll definitely want to check out this giveaway.

Great Homeschool Conventions is giving away a family pass to one of their two homeschool conventions to one of our blog readers. If you win, you get to choose a free family pass to one of the two conventions below:

Southeast Homeschool Convention — March 14 – 16 2013, in Greenville, SC
Midwest Homeschool Convention  — April 4 – 6, 2013 in Cincinnati, OH

Each convention offers a huge exhibitor’s hall with thousands of products to peruse (look at the huge list of exhibitors here!) plus hundreds of encouraging, equipping, information-packed workshops from a variety of well-known homeschooling experts.

I’ll be speaking at both conferences and my husband will be there with me and we’d love the opportunity to get to meet you, answer your questions, and just tell you how much we appreciate you being a reader of this site. Honestly, meeting my readers in real-life is one of my very favorite things in all the world. So that’s what I’m looking forward to most — especially since I had the opportunity to meet some of you last year at the Cincinnati conference and can’t wait to see you again!

We’re still working on details of exactly which workshops I’ll be doing, but I’ll for sure be giving some workshops on cutting your grocery bill and I’ll probably be doing a workshop on eating healthfully on a budget, a workshop on teaching preschool on a budget, and a workshop with encouragement for frazzled young moms.

Not only am I excited to get to speak and to meet many of you, but my husband and I are really, really looking forward to getting to see Tim Hawkins live at the comedy night he’s doing at both conferences. We’re huge fans of his and we’ve stayed up way too late on more than one occasion watching his YouTube videos, so we’re stoked to get to see him perform live!

Interested in attending either conference? Be sure to sign up for the Great Homeschool Conventions’ email newsletter for updates!

Want to win a free conference pass? Click on the graphic below and type in your name and email address to enter to win a free family pass to the conference of your choice.  This giveaway ends Thursday, November 15, at 11:59 pm, CST. One winner will be chosen and posted on Monday.
