I am going to start laying out my planning for the holidays now, since the next two months are going to be a little crazy in our house. I already have almost all my Christmas shopping done, so that is one thing I am WAY ahead on:-) Just a few more things and it will all be done. That takes ALOT of stress out of the holidays!

We're moving too! Although we're leaving SoCal beginning of Nov and dont know how long it will take to find a place where we're going - Going on faith :)
Won't Christmas be a joy in a new house? Though I won't have the planner (wont have $ either), but will have each other :)
Anyhow; I stopped by as part of my TOS crew-mate blog tour to have a looksee and get familiar. I am looking forward to getting to know you better over the coming year.
