Tip #8 – Update Your Address Book

Have some of your friends moved recently or over the past year? Have YOU moved recently? Are there people that you have in your address book that you haven’t talked to or heard from in years? By keeping them in your address book, you are assuming they are still living in the same house. It is important to start off the year making sure you have even your address book in order because otherwise you will find yourself delaying a card sent because you do not have the right address. You may have already done this during the Christmas season as you sent out your cards, but did you take the time to write the new address or family INTO your address book? Now is the time!

Kristin’s Action Plan: I save the envelopes of those who we receive Christmas cards from, so that I can double check to make sure I have the same address in my address book. By doing this, I am ready for the new year and ready to send out cards to the RIGHT address, when I need to (sickness, baby, wedding, etc.).

For some, thinking about your possessions, your material goods, well, is a thought that maybe doesn’t cross your mind much. At the most,…

Creating a Style Sanctuary Oasis

This post is sponsored by Wayfair. When I go to bed at night, that is my time to rest. Rest from the busyness of the day. Rest from the chores that beckon. Rest from physically caring for our daughter (until she sneakily wakes me up, which honestly is so cute at times). Rest until the…

Day 52: Repurposing Plastic Bags

What: Repurposing plastic bags Why: Reusable grocery bags are the way to go – you can fit so much more inside of them and they are much easier to carry. On the other hand, plastic grocery or store bags can also come in handy. At times it may be wise to actually put your groceries…
