My Pajama Day (and a winner)

some of my planning supplies

I can tell by the response to my last post that most of us could benefit from a pajama/Christmas music/planning day, as the holidays are fast approaching.

My day was relaxing and perfect. Menus planned for Thanksgiving, two birthdays and Christmas ... December calendar coordinated ... and my on-line orders done.

Simple always works best for me!

Please do not be discouraged if you cannot manage a whole day for planning. Even an hour or two will help:

          *sneak away to Starbucks after
           you tuck your kids in bed

          *designate a lunch break or two
           for planning

          *while your kiddos are in Awana,
           stop at the cupcake shop and 
           plan away

          *trade a few hours of kidsitting
           with a neighbor

          *get up an hour early two days 
           this week and and sneak back 
           to bed with coffee and your 
           calendar

You get the idea ... an hour or two of planning will relieve a lot of holiday stress.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Enter His gates with Thanksgiving,
And His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him,
Bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His steadfast love endures forever,
And His faithfulness to all generations.
