We were at our Swedish cabin this weekend and the charity shop was chock full of Christmas decorations! As I said in today’s video, NOW is the time to donate!

Have a wonderful day!

Thank you so much Diane! These are such great resources. We took our son to college this year and have been in serious decluttering mode to create our new home and life together without a child at home! ❤️

Yes, it is my 1st time…I just discovered you last summer. But our Christmas decors are going to be simple; we’re in 80’s. Now that I just learned from you that charity centers would not want unused Christmas stuff after Christmas, I better get busy and check thru them.
And I may go thru your other tips.
Thank you for being my inspiring coach😊.

Diane,

I like the Christmas pillow and the glasses. Great ideas to start to prepare for the holidays.

You are just the best. I love your suggestions and have shared them with my school through email. Keep being yourself. I love it!!! Thanks for all of your Xmas help and reminders.

A brisk 30-minute walk soothes and refreshes me after working at home. I always see another neighbor—and a doggo, if I’m lucky—so I enjoy a good catch-up chat and some smiles in addition to the exercise. I’m visiting family out of town at the end of the month, so I’m going to set up my Christmas tree this coming weekend to avoid feeling pressed for time in early December. I can triage decorations then and have a major holiday task sorted before I leave. Cheers!
