I am determined to not<\/strong> get caught up in the mad holiday frenzy.\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019ve already started putting together my shopping lists and making plans regarding what we\u2019ll do for the various holidays.\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019m determined to enjoy this season and not stress myself out.\u00a0 <\/span>To help, I received several great tips from Consider it Done (www.consideritdone.com<\/a>)<\/span> a lifestyle management company that organizes and coordinates projects for busy people worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n

1) Start early \u2013 pull ideas from magazines and catalogs. (Our toy guide should help!) <\/p>\n

2) Get organized \u2013 make a list by person and\/or family. <\/p>\n

3) Shop one stop \u2013 many stores offer wrapping and shipping so you have one less thing to think about. <\/p>\n

4) Ask for help \u2013 delegate and outsource when and what you can with personal shoppers and gift wrapping services\u00a0\u2013 such as Consider it Done. <\/p>\n

5) Relax\u00a0and don\u2019t go overboard \u2013 keep it fun and do a little at a time\u2026after all it\u2019s the thought that counts!<\/p>\n

I hope these tips help to make your holiday season a little saner!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
