99 Days Until Christmas + Holiday House Prep

I spent a little time this morning finding some goodies for my Holiday Plan Binder.  Then, I started printing.   I printed September – January Calendars as well as binder inserts.   I used List Plan It for my Calendars and Organized Christmas for my cover and spine.  How are you doing with yours?  Here are some links to resources for you 100 Days to Christmas plans and preparations!  Don’t forget to go to the site ”100 Days to Christmas” to sign up for her emails.  You will get your challenge in your inbox each day.  Also, feel free to follow along with me as I issue occasional Bonus Challenges to get our house company ready!

Holiday House Prep Bonus Challenge: This one is simple to get us in the spirit and to get us ready to tackle our home.

Today I want you to look at the place you keep your left-over containers.  What does is look like?  Is it super messy?  Take a few minutes to go through and make sure every top has a bottom and every bottom has a top.  Then, put them all back in neatly.  As we get closer to the holidays, we will be using our plastic containers much more often.  It is better to know what we have and what we don’t.

Do you notice that you really don’t have much of anything left after clearing out the junk?  Make a note to pick up some Rubbermaid containers next time you are out.

Or, maybe you just found that you are literally SWIMMING in containers… throw out the horrible ones, then think of other uses for the extras:  bathroom to contain all those little travel items, kids’ room for socks, kids’ playroom for small toys, craft room, etc.

Have fun and please let me know how it goes.  Plus, keep your eyes open for the Mr. Linky in tomorrow’s “Days Until” post so you can add your before and afters of your left over food container cabinet.
