The Holidays!!

Wow everyone, this has been a very stressful and busy month, well at least for me. Thanksgiving, working, cooking, cleaning and spending time with family and friends. Now Christmas is right around the corner and I found myself breaking my neck to finish all the shopping and preparing things for the big day. This year I am doing things a little different, every year I buy clothes and shoes and things the kids need and put them under the tree along with the things they want. This year I am taking a different approach and not going to worry about trying to figure out what everyone wants and decided to give each of my children an amount they have to spend on clothes and will take them shopping the day after Christmas so they can pick out exactly what they want. This will help me get the right size and will eliminate the long return line after Christmas or the unwanted clothes that sit in the closet and wasted money. I think my new plan will work out great for everyone and the children on Christmas day will only open the things they wanted instead of opening socks and underwear LOL!!
