Top Posts of 2019 | Get Productive

Hello friends! Welcome to the start of a brand NEW YEAR!  Are we all loving it??  I know I am!

We celebrated the start of the new decade at Marianna’s home with her lovely family and several good friends, including Ali-Shaun and Stephanie.  Marianna is from Venezuela and definitely has a knack for entertaining, providing delicious, beautiful food, and is just an awesome person to be around.

We ate, drank, talked and laughed and even Jordan lasted until the NYC new year countdown!

PRODUCTIVITY

At the start of a new year especially, I love getting everything all tidy and organized.  I’ve been on a major EXTRA organizing kick over here lately.  I’ve put Christmas away in the neatest way possible, and am working on Jordan’s playroom and also the pantry.  I’m hoping to have some ready to show you next week.

Below are the top organization/productivity posts from last year.  If you like these kinds of posts, you can find more of them by clicking the DECOR tab on my blog, then a drop down list will appear and you can click on “Organization” and “Productivity”.

Stress Free Holiday Planning

It’s always bittersweet to say goodbye to the Christmas season.  I feel like I was just getting ready for Thanksgiving yesterday.  It was such a whirlwind this year, but I did truly enjoy it.  Planning things on paper helped and I also let several things go that I just didn’t have the time/energy for.  I realized that’s okay, and God willing, there’s always next year!

And a bonus!  One thing I love to do at the very beginning of the year is to plan my entire year in advance.  I put everything I can schedule on the calendar and it helps keep me sane and organized throughout the year!

In that post, there’s a FREE printable that walks you through how to set up your entire 2020 in advance.
