Let’s finally get caught up in February!  It seems like January is so busy that February is the time to really make sure your I’s are dotted and T’s are crossed!    Tip Junkie is here to help as Your Personal Assistant. Take a day and really plan and organize your schedule. Here are some of the things to do!

Personal Assistant

1.  It’s February already!  If you’re wanting to be more organized then print off the Executive Homemaker binder  {if you haven’t already} where you can keep track of everything in one place as well as printable worksheets to help keep  you organized and on task.  This 2012 Printable Calendar from Tip Junkie is a must have as well!

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 themes, party favor, game and decor ideas.  You can also check out Tip Junkie Parties.

3.  Also since it’s a new year with a LOT of birthday ahead of you, consider making (or buying) neighbor, friend, and teacher gifts for the entire year.  Tip Junkie’s Homemade Gift Patterns site has hundreds of free gift tutorials with an impressive search so you can find the perfect gift.  You can even search by how much it costs to make!  {{squeal}}

4.  Organize a gift-crafting week with a friend and make it a fun event by stocking up on several handmade items you’ll need through out the year. This way if you’re ever in a time crunch or financial pinch – you’re covered!
