14 Day Ready for the Holidays Challenge

The challenge is over but another one will be coming soon!

There are less than 60 days until Christmas! Soon things will start getting very busy and the last thing we want to do is be rushing around getting ready.

I talked last month about some ways to prepare early to reduce stress. Now is the time to really be focused. If you start now you can do just little bits each day and never have to feel rushed.

To help you get started I’m offering a free challenge. Starting next week if you are signed up for the 14 Day Ready for the Holidays challenge you will get daily emails to help you get ready.

Each day you will get an email with an easy task to work on to help you be prepared for the holidays. These tasks are all things I will be doing in my own home to prepare as well. You will also get great information to help you reduce your stress.

I’m offering the challenge for free because I love the holidays and want everyone to be able to have less stress this time of year. The holidays should be a time for friends and family, not stress because there is just too much to get done. I’ve done the stressful holiday, I don’t like it and I don’t plan on doing it again!

The information you will get in the challenge is exclusive to those that sign up. It won’t be on the blog or anywhere else so you want to sign up. And don’t worry, this isn’t one of those challenges where I give you just a little bit of information but you have to buy something to get the rest, it’s truly all free!

There are a few supplies I recommend having on hand for this challenge. Try to find these things in your home and avoid the extra costs. You don’t need anything fancy, just functional.

  • Three-ring binder
  • Notepad or notebook (Michael’s has some really cute holiday notepads in their $1 area right now)
  • Printer paper and ink on-hand
  • Three Hole Punch
  • Optional: Cute holiday stickers and paper

That’s all! And if you don’t have those things or the budget to get them, don’t worry. Most of the challenges will need nothing more than some time and maybe some scratch paper.

If this all sounds good to you sign up now for the free 14 Day Holiday Challenge! Together we can make the holidays a less stressful time.

And if you have any tips for reducing stress during the holidays, share in the comments below. I love to learn even more ways to make the holidays better.

    I love learning new ways to reduce the stress that comes form holidays. Looking forward to getting the emails! I have learned that for me, doing less and expecting less is better for me. I try not to put too much pressure on myself, and only focus on getting the essentials done. Then if I have more time for the extras, I do what I can.
