It’s hard to believe, but the holiday season is just around the corner and getting closer by the minute! So my question for you is – are you ready?
If you’re anything like me, you long for a holiday season that is stress-free. Am I right?
But for some strange reason, each year the holidays are crazy! And even though you swear each year, THIS IS THE YEAR that it will be different, it never is.
Instead of organized you find yourself dodging the chaos way too much. Instead of having everything you need, you’re making umpteen trips to the store. Instead of calm, you find yourself running around like a crazy person trying to cram in everything you want to do PLUS a bunch of stuff you don’t. Instead of warm fuzzy feelings of joy and love, you feel stressed out and frazzled.
Before you know it November is here, and your starting to panic because things are getting hectic and then BAM – December and all hell breaks loose. By the time January rolls around you are drained and broke.
Sound familiar?
Boy, I can totally relate.
Up until a few years ago, this was me every single year. Then I made a vow to do things differently, and I created my first Holiday Planner. This was way before I ever had my blog. I had designed it for my coaching clients because they too were going through the same things I was going through and I figured if I could create something that could help us all that would be a real blessing.
Of course, the planner has changed and expanded over the years. But this year’s planner is the best (and prettiest) planner yet.
And because I believe in planning so much, I make it available in October so you can get a jump start on your holiday planning. Planning is the main ingredient when you’re trying to eliminate the chaos of the holidays. Less stress is the aim, and the planner helps you achieve just that.
GRAB YOUR 2018 HOLIDAY PLANNER
So what’s in this year’s planner?
LOTS!
First, to help you sort out what’s important to you, I’ve included a workbook to help you figure out what you and your family WANT to do and how you want your Christmas to feel.
From there I include:
- A Calendar for November and December
- Countdown checklist
- To Do Lists
- Gift Planners
- Gift Trackers
- Stocking Stuffer Tracker
- Gifts Received Tracker
- Budget sheets
- Menu Planning
- and Cleaning Checklists
All this covers shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday along with all the trackers you need to not end up with duplicate gifts (don’t laugh, I’ve done it before) and to make sure you don’t forget someone on your list (done that too!).
Pretty comprehensive!

I’m a professional cleaner with over 13 years of hands-on experience cleaning homes, a published writer, certified money specialist, and the founder of A Mess Free Life. After paying off over $50,000 in debt, I dedicated myself to helping others master their homes and their money — proving that a clean, organized, stress-free life is possible no matter where you’re starting from. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me cooking, playing bocce, sipping an extra dirty martini, or enjoying the ocean with my cats nearby. I’m also a proud mom and grandma who cares deeply for my mother at home.
