Once again, Tip Junkie is here as Your Personal Assistant. Take a day and really plan and organize your schedule. Here are some of the things to do:
1. Let’s start the month off right and make a list of the things that are causing you added stress. Make a list of the big ones as well as the little ones. Is something in the house that’s broken, is there an insurance issue you need to take care of, do you need an extra trash can upstairs to help keep things tidy?
Once you’ve thought it out and made your list, plan a day this week as your “ongoing problem day” and finally resolve those issues that need to be resolved. You’ll be glad that you did!
2. Check birthdays for the month, buy cards & presents, get them ready to mail or deliver. If you have a child’s birthday this month, plan it and get out the invites.
- Tip Junkie has tons of amazing birthday theme, party favor, game and decor ideas.
- Executive Homemaker has several games to print out.
3. Clear schedule for book club, girls night out, BUNCO, and other rotating activities. Make sure you have child care, your food assignment, etc. Here’s how to start a dinner club.
4. If you are doing a food storage, time to check the schedule and buy next on the list. Don’t forget to put some cash in there as well.
5. Change AC house filter.
6. Write one grandparent a letter, artwork, or card.
7. Plan Mommy/Son or Daddy/Daughter dates.
8. Plan a date night with your man, arrange the babysitter in advance or swap with a friend.

You can also barter with each other this year for Christmas gifts. However, don’t wait since the middle of shopping season will be crazy for everyone.

Looking for a great gift idea or stocking stuffers for family and friends, the new fantasy novel, “Gateway to DreamWorld,” was released last month and has been receiving rave reviews.
During the cold months ahead, they will curl up in a warm blanket or in front of the fireplace and enter a fantasy world filled with excitement and suspense.
The book is listed on Amazon.com, Barnes&Nobles.com, and Powell’s Books.com
You know when you put it that way nothing seems so bad…If you just plan ahead then things don’t seemed as rushed when you do them at the last minute…Thanks!
