Welcome to this week's tips
Hi Everyone,

We have a nice coating of snow today. It was warm just a few days. (See Brea's pix of the wetlands below. We got a close up of a large turtle)

We wrapped presents yesterday along with simply decorating the house. We've also been doing extra cleaning for our house appraisal tomorrow as we re-finance our adjustable-rate mortgage.

Weekly Simplicity Tips
1. Up your exercise, quiet time and eating right, not decrease this month.
2. In the morning ask, "What good will I do today?"
3. Be vulnerable, risk, fail instead of trying to hold up perfection.
4. Don't buy that one extra present for the person you already bought several for. (That means I am saying no to more presents for my niece and nephew :)
5. What went well last week? What do you want to do differently this week?
6. Use the back of envelopes for notes instead of throwing them out.
7. Pick which treats are worth it and enjoy them. Leave the ones you aren't that excited about.

Simple Holiday Plan PLUS Simple Annual Plan Bundle


Do you want a holiday plan that doesn’t have you do a million things you just don’t have time for?

I’ve tried the holiday plans that are online. But, I never finished them. Having simplified my Christmas I didn’t use many of the parts of those plans. And they just made me feel guilty.

Would you like a simpler holiday plan?

I created a plan that I use to keep my holidays organized without overwhelming me.

Plan includes:

  • a checklist for each week
  • simple steps to take to create the holiday you want
  • short cuts and simplifications for many holiday tasks
  • questions to help you decide what is important to you and your family
  • worksheets and forms

Bundle it with the Simple Annual Plan to help plan your year ahead.
