Planning Ahead

There are some events coming up this year that I would like to host gatherings for. I know that I tend to be a planner and not much of a doer, so I'd like to start making plans now that include check lists that will help me prepare slowly over time for each event.

Upcoming Events:

St. Patricks Day - March 17
Easter - March 23
MOPS Table Social - March TBD
Wedding Anniversary - April 17
May Day - May 1
4th of July Fireworks Party - TBD
Christmas in July Craft Night - July 25
Kaylin's 1st Birthday Party - August 3
Apple Baking Event - Late September, Early October
Halloween - October 31
Thanksgiving - November 27
Christmas Party - December 13
Christmas - December 25
New Years - December 31-January 1

So these are events and holidays that I would like to celebrate this year. Some will be hosted by me at my house - and these are the specific ones that I will need to do more planning for. Others will be hosted by family members and will not require as much work (yay!)

My main goal is that with at least one thing each month, I will not have enough time in between events to let my house get TOO dirty again. Hopefully I will be able to make check lists for each event and by keeping up with those, keep my house organized.

So I'll be updating with some check lists soon. The first event is St. Patricks Day and there is not really any planning needed. I'll be taking Kaylin to her first parade in Dogtown. I'm excited for this as I have fond memories growing up of St. Patricks Day. :)
