When embarking on a challenge like I have set for myself this holiday season the only way to get through is lists. Many beautiful lists. I love a good list. For me a good list is one that is divided and organized into achievable goals with lots of things to cross off. I love the satisfaction of crossing something off. I have lists all over the place. Some are on the phone some on post it notes but most are just on scrap paper. I have found that the satisfaction of deleting something off the smart phone isn’t the same as crossing it off a piece of paper.
My mom used to make a calendar for December so we all knew what was planned. We knew which weekend would be Christmas tree shopping and decorating, which one would have gingerbread house decorating and cookie baking and planned our sleepovers and work schedules accordingly.
This year I think I am going to need to make a calendar and many lists. The cookie project alone has already required three lists. Trying to add an impressive decorating plan, multiple homemade gifts and my regular work schedule and dinners I am going to need a daily schedule. Probably need to get some more slow cooker recipes to help with the multitasking. Anyone have slow cooker recipes that don’t call for cream of something soup?
