T is fir Thanksgiving

I was blessed to be able to share some ways to create Thanksgiving traditions over at My-Joy Filled Life as part of Sarah’s ABCs of Homeschooling series.

Growing up, Thanksgiving was a one-day event in my house. It was a time to gather with family around an overflowing table and count our blessings. We still gather around a table of abundance on Thanksgiving Day, but the gathering of blessings starts November 1st….. Click here to read the rest @ My Joy-Filled Life

Simple Christmas Countdown Giveaway

November 1, 2013 By: amyswanderingcomment

{This post contains my affiliate link.}

My good friend Jill of The Sassy Slow Cooker and Blessed Beyond a Doubt has a brand new Simple Christmas Countdown Planner!

She created her planner years ago as a tool to avoid the craziness of an over-planned, stressed-out Christmas season. I’ve seen glimpses of it over the years and am thrilled that she has now made it available to everyone.

One of the things I love about Jill is that she is super organized but keeps it uncomplicated, so organizationally-challenged people like me can easily follow along. Simple Christmas Countdown comes with all of the pages, dividers, and covers that you will need for TWO years! This means you can navigate a peaceful Christmas season and then immediately start on next year’s plans. Don’t we all love a fresh start in January?

The pages you will find in this 2-year Christmas Countdown Planner:

2013-2014 Calendar Pages for the months of November and December
Notebook Cover, Dividers, and Spine Covers
Budget Planner
Inventory List
Homemade Gift List
Stocking Stuffer List
Advent and Tradition Ideas
Christmas Card List
Master Gift List
Individual Gift List
Cleaning List
Menu Plan
Recipe Section

Jill also adds in her tips for using each of the pages, and shows you how to keep the planning going all year long instead of waiting until the last minute.

The Simple Christmas Countdown Planner is only $3.99. Such a small price to pay to be able to focus on what really matters this Christmas!

I get to give away TWO planners – ONE for you and ONE for a friend!!

Giveaway ends Thursday, November 7th

I received a free planner to review for this post. All opinions are my own – I really do like it! My affiliate link is included. Thank you for purchasing through my site!
