The 2016 Holiday Planner is Here!

UPDATE: Each year we launch a free printable holiday planner, check back in mid-October or subscribe to our newsletter in the sidebar so you are notified when it is available. 

Friends, today is the day!  For months now I have had Christmas decorations, gift lists, party plans and all things holiday dancing through my head. Behind the scenes I have been hard at work dreaming up and creating the ultimate Holiday Planner, today it is available just for you all.     I know, we have yet to even reach Thanksgiving so I understand those of you putting their fingers in their ears right now  and saying “NO, too early!” but give me a chance to share my story. I promise we will be back with a Thanksgiving post later this week ?. If I have to be honest, the last few years I have felt my holiday joy dimmed by all the overwhelming ‘to-do’s’ the season brings.  This year I knew I was determined to start early and have a plan, that way my hope is I can actually relax and enjoy Christmas once it arrives.  After thinking about that, I knew I wanted to design a planner I could share with our readers so that if they were motivated, they could do the same.     I designed the 2016 Holiday Planner to help me get ahead for the holidays, avoid last-minute disasters and create a sense of calm for my family, not to mention making sure this year to actually set aside time for fun!     With Christmas less than 8 weeks away the 2016 Planner is now available for sale. There is both a printed version and a printable version. It is 18 pages of organization glory, designed specifically so you can head into the holiday frenzy feeling calm, prepared and in control. You might actually ENJOY the holiday this year right? 🙂     Not ready to start the “holidays?” I understand! There will be much more to come about this over the next few weeks but in the spirit of being ON TOP of this holiday, you can go right ahead and download a FREE sample page from the planner below if you want to just get a feel for it.

You will be emailed a copy of the Holiday Decoration Planner Page {the very same one that is in the Planner} so you can get ahead right now and get your holiday decorating under control.  It can be hard to find both the time and the budget to get new decorations once December comes around so now is a great time to get going. Enjoy the free printable!   If you are ready to begin to get a handle on your holiday, here is all the info about both products…   The planner has 18 pages {with a clean design to conserve printer ink} and will be emailed to you upon purchase. You may print as many sheets as needed; the planner is designed to work with your planning style and holiday traditions. Simply insert it into your Home Planning Binder or create a binder, or just stick on a clipboard.  The printable version includes a cover with a white background with the same floral design you see on the navy.  Both versions begin with a Table of Contents so you can easily find the list you need among the numbered worksheets.

The planning worksheets begin in November so for those of you ready to get your holiday season under control, you can get right to it.  I truly wish you all the most peaceful of holidays, I hope this will help all you over-functioning mamas find some time for you while still making a magical holiday for your family. We’ll have more to come over the next two months including a 5 day “Getting Organized for the Holidays” series and of course, our annual Holiday Open House for tons of decor inspiration.  

Now, as promised this week will be back with more Thanksgiving content. If you are a reader that likes our posts regarding home decor, you can see our holiday home tours HERE and HERE. XO,
