Crap.... down to 9 days! Where did it all go?!

Okay, I spent my day yesterday trying to get our schedule down (on bright orange post it notes) for the days up to Christmas.  My main fear is that I will end up forgetting something important (like picking up Logan from school...) as my brain gets crowded with all of these other non important items.

I find that I sometimes have to take a deep breath and remember that every second is an opportunity to create a memory that my family will fondly look back on.  Let's be honest, holidays are surrounded by stress and the memories are created regardless.  I don't want my children's memories to be filled with a stressed out mom.  For me, the bright orange notes will help me stay stress free.

On the agenda for today.... finish stuffing and sewing up this doll, taking a nice hot shower, going grocery shopping, and at least starting my next knit project (a cashmere scarf for a very special person).  What are you all doing as the holidays approach?
