Holiday Seasons

A holiday message from The Organised Housewife & her little Elves

Here are some of the helpful tips that I follow to beat rush-hour traffic on Boxing Day and ways to not get too caught up in the mania of shopping for bargains on Boxing Day.

Before I went on our family holiday I planned out my Christmas Menu for lunch and dinner. Here is my 2018 Christmas Day (all day) Menu. It’s not extravagant, it’s simple but deliciously appetising!

How many of you are planning to track Santa this year? I’ve found a Santa tracker, Santa’s address at the North Pole and have way more Christmas news for you that will put a smile on your children’s faces.

Camping is a great family activity, it brings you back to basics and you enjoy nature so much more. I’ve put together a camping checklist to help you prepare for your camping adventures.

The festive season is almost upon us! Whether you’re attending a casual lunch, dressy dinner or something in between, I’ve got Christmas outfit ideas for all occasions.

Guess what? I’m beginning a special ’12 Days of Christmas’ sale that I have put together very soon. The sale will begin on Saturday 1st December 2018 and will run for 12 days… It sure is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has woken up and realised far too late that their Elf On The Shelf is still shelf bound from two nights ago. I’ve put together some excuses that work very well when you deal with little, sad faces who are worried that the Elf hasn’t been back to the North Pole!

I just love Christmas music! It’s easy to get tired of the same old, traditional songs we hear each year, so I’ve created a Christmas song playlist of my top 25 favourite songs that I want to share it with you through Spotify.

Don’t you just wish sometimes that there was a magic wand that you could wave around and have it decide for you what…

It seems to be the number one complaint for many that they spend way too much on presents their children don’t even need half the time. That’s why I’ve created a Christmas gift list rule system to help you stay within budget and plan what gifts you are going to buy.

My kids love giving gifts to their friends at the end of the school year after all they’ve been through together. I’ve put together a guide of unique and personal gift ideas for best friends, and for group gift ideas for classmates.

I’ve always been curious if there was a ‘perfect’ way to decorate a christmas tree… turns out there is!!! Check out the right way to decorate the tree, I’ve been doing it wrong all these years LOL.
