We are in the 11th month of 2021!! Halloween is over and we are officially in “holiday season”!! This is my favorite time of year for many reasons-it’s boots and sweater season, it’s hot chocolate & peppermint time, it’s Hallmark holiday movie time and it’s the time of year that we make spending time with friends and family a priority.
People often get stressed at this time of year because it does tend to be pretty busy. I get stressed because I’m usually trying to finish up home projects as well as get my holiday cards made. And this year is no different!! I’m trying to finish my living room refresh and since I still need to design my holiday card the making process has not yet begun.
These monthly lists help keep me on track. October was a short month in terms of goals since I was out of the country for half of the month. Let’s see what progress I made and then look at the plans for November.
