Extra Curricular Activities

Getting involved is a fun way to try new things, meet people, and move away from the TV. Actually, our daughter asked me to enroll her and get involve in Music after her classes in school. She wanted to learn the piano and have a voice lesson as well.Good thing for her that she has a drive in this area but got one problem since the piano that we have is dysfunctional already and needs to be replaced the soonest. I am considering canvassing some keyboards and from guitar center since they offer great and big deals also. Hoping I can get one for her. 

So how about you? Does your kids participates in some other extra-curricular activities in school? If not yert, then have them enjoy even just one activity because it really help them in other ways. Let them enjoy while they learn at the same time.

Making Your List: Early Christmas Preparations for Hassle-Free Holidays

Half of the year has already passed and pretty soon it will be Christmas time again. It’s never too early to start preparing for Christmas. In fact, if you plan early enough, you might be able to save yourself from having to deal with all the hassles and scurrying around during perhaps the year’s busiest season. Get your planning notebook out and start putting down your plans to get all ready and set to go when the season rolls in. Here are some of the items that you should have on your list: 

Décor

You can start planning what theme you want this year’s Christmas decorations to be. Think about your tree, ornaments, centerpieces, Christmas lights, etc. There might be some decorations from last year that you can use in this year’s theme. Or, you can be a little bit crazy this year and get new decorations to have a surf and sand Christmas theme in your home while it is chilly and snowy outside. You can be as creative as your budget will allow you to be. Besides, if you are planning this early, you have all the time to look for and wait for great deals and discounts on new Christmas decorations. 

Christmas Gift List

Santa’s watching the whole year round. You should be too. Have your Christmas gift list ready earlier so you can pick up items for specific people throughout the year. Spot sale events and save some money on your gift-giving. You can also check out bulk sales for wholesale items for groups of people. In most cases, you can get great discounts when you order in bulk. 

Events Calendar 

Not all the dates and venues for the parties you will be having will be set this early. But, there are annual events that are usually already set even before the previous year’s party ended. Start putting these dates on your calendar so you know which days to avoid when planning your other Christmas parties. It’s already a given that Christmas time, aside from being one of the happiest times of the year, can be stressful. You can reduce the amount of stress the season brings and enjoy more of the cheer it brings by planning early.
