TJ’s Personal Assistant Tips:

  • It’s also time to start making room for the new toys on Christmas morning. Set yourself up for success by consolidating toys that are no longer played with.
  • Also, buy new bins (and label them) ahead of time for the new toys Christmas morning. Believe me – you’ll be so happy you did.  It makes Christmas Day less messy and more fun for Mom.
  • Plan what activities you’re going to do as a family while the kiddos are out of school. Here’s a list of 31 Things to do during Christmastime.
  • Arrange the details for what you’re doing for New Years. I’m currently looking for New Year ideas, submit your old posts.
