1. Let’s get clicky with my Moments that Matter Photo Challenge. Capture moments that matter from your camera phone. Since the new year is a great time to capture Moments that Matter, AND get ORGANIZED, I’’ve picked a word each day that we can all capture with our camera phones to help us photo journal these joyous moments, AS WELL AS a phrase a day to help stay ORGANIZED. Share them or keep them for yourself, but enjoy the moment!

For more details, click here! Pick either one of the photo journal prompts and click away!

Your Personal Assistant

Tip Junkie is coming full circle to make ‘Your Personal Assistant‘ reminders more interactive.  This has been a goal of mine for a few years and with technology I can now make it happen for you. {nerdy giggle}

This list has a task to do each day to help you organize your life while also creating those important bonding moments.  To motivate yourself to be your best ‘personal assistant’  capture with your camera phone these homemaking and productive moments.   {see above photo for task list}

My hope is that it helps balance all the demands of being a woman, wife, mother, sister, and friend.  {to name a few}

How to Play

Once you’’ve taken your photo, upload it to the Tip Junkie Facebook Page or on Instagram so we can all play along, make new friends, like, and encourage each other!  Make sure you use the hashtag #TipJunkie!

  2. Some of my friends think I am crazy for thinking about Christmas already, but I much prefer to be in control and organized. I spent a small fortune on greetings cards last year and this year I really need to try to spend less. I already know that I am going to send my friends who live overseas xmas greeting cards for free online. I will be saving money on the greetings themselves and postage, so the idea of this makes me very happy. Hope this info helps those who are watching their spending like me this year.

  3. In September I get out our perpetual holiday planner that has a month by month prepairing plan in it, spend time with our household chatting about what we liked and didn’t about last year, and start my lists: list of gifts already gotten and need to get(I look throughout the year for gifts since we have a good sized family, and it spaces out the cost as well), a timeline list (combo of to do with a calendar that includes all our planned activities in the coming months and when I can get each thing on the todo list done), and since we just moved to a new place this year, a list of what goes where for the decorations for the various holidays coming up. So by mid-September I can really get started prepairing for the holidays.

  4. Great suggestions. I buy all Christmas/Birthday presents at the After Christmas Clearance Sales. Next step will be to wrap them in advance. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll get them sent on time!

    Thanks!
