Only 25 days until Christmas. Can you believe it? This year, I wanted to start early on my resolutions. I don’t want to completely let everything go, like I usually do during the holidays. So that’s why I’ve put together this schedule to follow until Christmas. Like I said before in my last post, I want to equally incorporate mind, body, soul, and family over the next 25 days. So hear is what I came up with.
Dec. 1st and 2nd
First of all, I wanted to start out the month with a couple of cleanse days. I’m very passionate about cleansing, because what it has done for me. It’s the perfect way to start anything I believe. You get your mind on track, increase you’re energy, get your weight in check, and just feel amazing. I know there are a lot of different cleanses out there, so do the one you like most. I’ve tried a few and have found one that works the best for me. Click HERE for more information.
Dec. 3rd
Start a new educational book. The one I plan to read is called, Parenting With Love and Logic, by Foster Cline, M.D. & Jim Fay. I hope to develop some parenting skills, lol. Sometimes I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing, and pray to God that my kids will turn out okay.
Dec. 4th
Do a fun Christmas craft with the kids. This one looked fun. I love the smell of Cinnamon around Christmas, and it looks simple enough for me:) We’ll see if I can pull it off.
Dec. 5th
Start taking a class on something of interest. I’m thinking something that only requires an hour or two a week. I don’t want to take too much time away from my family, but I thought it would be fun, and a nice break. I recently found out about a place just down the street from me called Picture Line. It’s a photography shop that sells all kinds of fun stuff, they also offer free classes with tips on how to use your camera’s. So, I plan to try a few of those classes.
Dec. 6th
Find a service project to do with the kids. I thought that this could tie into December 4th’s task. If the craft turns out okay, you can give them away to friends or neighbors. I plan to make a special trip to my Grandpa’s house. I know he loves visitors, so I thought I could go spend some time with him, bring him some dinner or lunch, and just enjoy the time with him. I’m also in the process of making a video of his life. I recently did an interview with him on video, I want to put it all together, with some of his childhood pictures, and some music. So, I want to begin this project as soon as possible. I’m hoping to have it finished before Christmas, and give the DVD’s to family members as a gift. I’ll post the video as soon as I’m done with it.
Dec. 7th
Do a fun activity with the whole family. I plan to take the whole family Ice Skating down town. We’ve never done this before, so I’m excited to try it out. We might have to leave Oliver with a babysitter though, it may be too cold to take him out.
Well, that covers the first week. I will continue the rest of this Schedule next Monday, but will still be writing each day, on how I’m doing 🙂
Love your blog! And thanks for stopping by mine. We sound like long lost twins!
You are so organized. My poor babies are preparing for a mission and the two youngest are still waiting for me to grow up and get the mommy thing down. haha. I think I'm going to learn some stuff your blog fellow mama = )

The ornament craft looks fun! You seem to really make time to have QUALITY time with your family : )
Crystal you are amazing!!!
i can't believe you haven't been skating downtown. we go every year. and LOVE it. schaffor has had all three of my kids at some point skating in between his legs. they LOVE it. except schaffor can't walk the next day. heehee. dress warm and definately leave oliver home. he won't enjoy it and he will be too cold. that is my advice.
