The momAgenda Challenge: Don't Shop December!

November 12, 2008 11:50 AM

We at momAgenda are committed to helping make moms' lives easier. And we think that December is going to be so much easier if we all do our holiday shopping advance. Our goal is for us (and you) to enjoy the holidays this year! So please join me in crossing everyone off your list before Thanksgiving. I'll be writing in every day until Thanksgiving with tips and ideas for everyone on your list, so check back often!
First things first. I always start every project, large or small, with a list. This year, I have made my holiday shopping list in the "Notes" section of my Personal Portfolio. I listed the name of each person I need to buy a gift for, and also wrote down a budget for each person. Since my list is in my day planner, I know I will have it with me whenever I go shopping; that way I can check people off immediately and feel a sense of accomplishment! I also tuck my receipts into the zippered pouch in the back cover of my planner, that way if anything needs to be returned I know exactly where it is. So start by making your list, and check back tomorrow, when I will write about gifts for Mom!
