We hosted our last family Christmas party. It went smooth and was easy. I ordered subs and we had potato chips, crock pot Mac and cheese with pie and ice cream for dessert. It was quite a feast!
I had my new Ninja running with Ginger ale and cranberry juice in it. I put some Moscato Di Asti in mine…it was delicious!
We played a power point word jumble and trivia game that I made. It was fun and educational. We learned about different Christmas traditions in other countries and how they originated.
After our guests left, we picked up and had a leisurely evening. I was annoying Paul with questions. I had to ask a lot of questions due to the vagueness of his answers. Typical Paul!
I started cleaning up Christmas decorations. Take the ornaments off the tree. I like the ambient light from the tree in the morning, so it may stay up for a few more days….ornament-less.
Normally we wait until we are into the new year. I have been trying to think of an achievable New Year’s resolution. I could say exercise more or lose weight….but I wanted something achievable. I am kind of too lazy to do those things. Ha!
I have decided my New Year’s resolution is to work on my house’s organization. Much of it will come naturally when Ethan moves out.
I decided to start with Christmas decorations. Everything is in labeled bins and organized, but can I downsize? Can I tweak the organization? Yes!
I found ornament organizers at the store. I am going to go through my storage bins and get rid of the ornament packaging. This will at least remove 2-3 bins.
My plans tomorrow are to organize my refrigerator. I have some vegetables I need to make into ice cubes so I can add them to recipes in the future. That way they don’t go bad!
Organize in general! I want to make life in our basement less of a hoarding situation and more of a useful space.
My Mom inspired this resolution as she and Gene have been organizing and downsizing for the past several months.
I smell some donations that will be happening in my future! What is your resolution?
