What you do and (don’t) need going in to Fall
Hey all,
It’s been a long while, I have been taking a mental health break, that extended into a hiatus. Sorry about that! But its’ Fall! I love fall. Probably my favorite season. That may be why most of my blog posts are cranked out in the fall. And the heat of the summer kills my creativity.
Well going into the season here’s some thoughts.
First, I can’t believe I missed the back to school season to post my favorite back to school checklists. And I love a checklist.
Second, Now is a great time to get some holiday gifts and your holiday budget in order. I LOVE a budget, as I love having extra money at the end. Although with inflation (my weekly grocery bill used to be $150-$200 and now its probably more than double.
I love holiday time, but the consumerism is out of control. (Heres my thoughts from last year!)
However I am not against taking advantage of the holiday sales, and also give yourself a fall treat.
Don’t you worry, this list is not just a buy list, it’s a top 5 fall essentials checklist for moms. (What a mouthful!)
One day I’ll compile my checklist and make them pretty pdfs. Until then… you can screenshot!
Top 5 Fall Essentials for Moms
- Now is the time to make sure your children’s (and your) winter gear is Set! I mean socks, tight, leggings, coats, jackets). I hate when the weather changes and I’m scrambling to get everything together.
- Make your gift List Now! That way you are not distracted by black friday sales, week before black friday, November 3rd sales. (I made the November 3rd one up, but you get my gist.) Amazon has a great wishlist feature, as well as Target)
- Go through the kids old toys, it will help you accept the new gifts they will get. Check out my declutter challenge here.
- Make sure your holiday guest lists are finalized, travel plans etc.
- Buy yourself a present.
I hope this list was helpful, got you into the fall spirit. One thing I left off, Take a walk, enjoy the sunshine.
Sincerely,
AnonMama
