Christmas is coming! As much as we try to deny it and push it out of our minds, it is on it’s way… 8 weeks and counting! Ok, I’m sure that some of you are already on the ball and have started your Holiday Planning.
I’m having a hard time getting into it, but I know I had better get started and the first thing I always like to do is figure out my Christmas Budget.
It’s time to get your Holiday Budget figured out and start planning your Christmas gift spending.
When you have a plan and have an idea of what your expenses are going to be, you are much more likely to stay on track with your spending and stick to your budget.
Hopefully, you have some money set aside for the Holidays or can save it up in the next 2 months so you don’t have to Finance Christmas. I have heard a lot of talk from folks who are going pretty simple and frugal this year (myself included) and if this is you, there are still some expenses to be expected.
I have a little Christmas present for you…

Making a Household Planner, Home Management Binder, Home Organizer, Household Notebook or whatever you want to call it, is easy!
You first need to decide what you want to include in your planner. The great thing about a household planner is that you can customize it! This is not a “One size fits all” type of thing, every household has different needs. A family with small children will need different pages in their planner than a single woman with no children at home.
Be sure to read What is a Household Planner? to see a list of possible categories.
Household Planner Materials Needed:

- Lots of inside pockets – Fantastic!
- 3 Ring Binder – standard size
- Tabbed Dividers
- 3 Hole Punch
- Pocket Folders (optional)
- Page Protectors (optional)
- Business Card Holder (optional)
- Your Printed Household Planner Pages!

- Household Planner Supplies

After the emotional day of sending my baby off to the all day Pre-K at the big school, I knew I had to have a special place in my Household Planner for my kids’ teacher’s contact information. (Just in case I have to check in on my little man:) I also included a section for coaches and other instructors information that we may need throughout the year!
Now all of these important school related phone numbers are on one easy-to-locate page in my Household Planner.

This always seems to be the biggest challenge for me during summer vacation…keeping the house in order. I don’t even mean it has to be clean, I mean keeping the toys off the floor, keeping the shoes on the shoe shelf, keeping dishes in the kitchen and keeping toys, shoes and dishes out of the bathroom! If you have children, you know what I mean :)
It’s impossible to follow them around all day long getting after them to pick up after themselves, plus that just makes mom extra irritated and stressed!
In order for your house to maintain some order this summer, you have got to have a game plan that you can stick to. (more…)

Download the FREE Things To Do This Summer Template
One thing that seems to happen at our house when the school aged kids are home for the summer is that they get bored and restless. They are used to having a structured day at school and then summer vacation comes and they break free from that structure, but they truly don’t know what to do with themselves! The kids still need that structure, maybe not as rigid, but they do need some type of daily and weekly schedule to follow. Keeping them busy is key! (more…)
