So Long 2021!

27 Dec

Maybe it’s just me, but I love the days between Christmas and January 1st. Cue all the purging, organizing, cleaning, and then field trips (when It’s time to break free from the house!). Here are some of my favorite things I’ve found to ease into 2022!

  1. Weekly Planner Pad I have used this for the past few months, and it has become my absolute favorite weekly planner. It’s large, but I feel like it allows me to really plan out my family’s schedule and dinner menu each week. There is space for everything and every detail…even mini to-do/task lists! I leave it on our kitchen counter and add to it as needed as well. It’s the “home base” of organizing our week.
  2. Ornament Organization My husband and I said this is the year we’re going to break free from storing our ornaments in shirt boxes and rolled up paper towels. Yeah. It’s time. I’m pretty excited about it.
  3. Eucalyptus wreath If you’re looking for a transitional wreath, you cannot go wrong with eucalyptus. It has the look of being fresh and full while everything outside is bare.
  4. Storage Baskets Yes, these are the same ones that you’ll find at Target! I have found it easier to buy them on Amazon, so I can find the sizes and colors I need for my spaces. They’re great for under sinks and in the playroom.
  5. Deluxe Puzzle Organizer Speaking of playroom…it’s my Christmas break project. One thing that was taking up too much space were our puzzles! I recommend the deluxe version of this so that it will hold a variety of sizes of puzzles.
  6. Project Case I have posted about these cases before! I love them! I use them for so many things from busy bins, to traveling, to organizing documents, to keeping my daughter’s “thing” contained. You can read more by clicking here.
  7. Glass food storage container These are the.best. They stack well, reheat well, are not plastic, and well, they’re pretty! Two thumbs up, and if you’re not a pink gal, they come in a variety of colors.

Cheers to the last few days of 2021! No, I cannot believe it either!

Hey Friends, thanks for following along with me! Here's a little bit more about me while you're here: I'm a thirty-something Maryland girl living in a North Carolina world! I consider both of these places below the Mason Dixie line home, just in different ways. Maryland gave me my roots and ... Read More about About
