COUNT DOWN TO CHRISTMAS TIPS

Right about now, my head is spinning. And when my head is spinning, I tend to make lists, which is why I created the countdown to Christmas tips!

A few of you have emailed me saying the same thing, so here are ten tips (suggestions).

This is what I did yesterday when my mind was twirling like an

amusement ride.

1. Grab a full glass of water and drink it. Repeat.

2. Make your bed.

3. Clean only the powder bath (if you don’t have overnight guests)

4.vClean the counters. Repeat.

5. Wrap last-minute gifts as you watch a holiday movie.

6.Mixed nuts & cheese & crackers are an acceptable appetizer

7. Close doors & closets -makes entry and hallways look cleaner

8.Spray furniture polish or cleaner in the entry way or a candle ( makes home smell clean and/or like pine) (thank you, Kristin- you shared the furniture polish tip with me 25 years ago).

9. Use cutting boards to organize ingredients for sides ( my kids taught me this).

10. Guess who forgot her own tip last fall?

DRINK ANOTHER GLASS OF WATER! or as my mother in law always suggested.. maybe something a little stonger.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Thank you for your friendship, suggestions, and stories. Before you bugger off… here is a Christmas home tour from Christmas past!

Thank you for opening up The Weekend Edit on Saturday (Sunday) mornings!
