Word of the month - Autumn |
I was therefore very grateful when I came across some other wonderful ladies who are sharing how they organise their homes. In my last blog I talked about Fabulously Organized Home, this time I want to share preparations for Christmas, which have been inspired by Organized Christmas.
I am following the House and Holiday plan, which started in September (there's a plan for how ever much time you leave to plan for Christmas!). The early tasks are all about getting ready to get organized, and those who know me well will know that I have a Christmas planner where I keep all my lists and to do activities. Organized Christmas has a set of printable checklists and to-do lists, which I have adapted for a British Christmas and past experience.

This week we are working on The Family Room, which we have designated as the conservatory. The timing was brilliant as we had friends over for dinner last night and so we were able to send the boys out to tidy so they could to play on the play-station.
Josh is continuing to extend his bread repertoire and this week made baguettes.
Our prayer this week as a family is for all involved in education, that they may make the right decisions and teach our children well, preparing them for the world that waits them outside the school and college walls.
This week's Bible verse is a reminder that we need to take time out from our busy lives to reconnect with God:
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit,
to sustain me.
Psalm 51:12
With God's blessing from my family to yours,Jo x
