So
for now,
Just
a few thoughts ...
The
seasons really run into each other around here... actually , they ram
into each other !
So...
of course , I decide that it is finally time to start a Blog (
laughing to myself here...).
I
am hoping to share some fun times as well as some thoughts on the
seasons of this life not as a form of advice , but moreso , as a way
for all of us to see that though life may not be perfect … it is
beautiful and a wondrous Gift !
I'm
thankful that we are not on a super crazy Merry Go round of
activities , but it feels like it to me !
All
of Autumn was busy …First , what we jokingly call Birthday season
began, then... the busyness started !
The
County Fair ( which I love ! ) , Halloween , A Confirmation (!) , A
Blackbelt Tesing (which by the way,was on the SAME day as the
Confirmation ! ), Thanksgiving and then, ADVENT !! Wow !
Christmas
Season began … we are still celebrating , just saying, and now
Epiphany !
So
here's the first of what I hope to be many ideas to share … and to
remind myself of said ideas....
First
thing : Make a list
You
read that right . I don't care if you use your phone , the back of an
old calendar or a paper towel … make a list .
A
list of what you ask …?
Whatever
it is you need to pull quick info from...
I
make a list when we go to the county fair . I mark the kids names
down and their ages and figure out the cost before we get to the
booth. I make the same kind of list on the rare occasion when we all
go out to dinner with what the kids would like to eat written next to
each child with their drink of choice. Most restaurants offer their
menus online and I cannot tell you how much simpler this will make
your visit. Simpler and more enjoyable , that is...
Make
a quick list ( or print up a sheet ) like this and you can keep all
of the kids needs for Holiday clothes .
Another
idea to build on...
More
on List making later !
