Wow…another weekend is almost upon us. The weeks seem to be going faster and faster the closer we get to Christmas. Don’t you think? So who is up for another round of Finish It Friday? I know I am. I’m up for that extra boost of motivation that comes from posting my to-do list here. So here she goes…
Play List
- Go to fondue party.
- Get Christmas tree. (Maybe — weather will be the deciding factor.)
To Finish List
- Start and finish laundry.
- Start and finish cleaning the house.
- Finish prep for Kailea’s party such as…
- Finish her new birthday banner.
- Send invites.
- Shop for party supplies.
- Finish shopping for her gifts.
- Do some Christmas shopping (though I don’t intend to finish.)
Okay, now it’s your turn. If you haven’t played along before, dive in this weekend! You’ll see how motivating and fun this simple little concept really is. All you do is post your weekend to do list and play list in the comments, and then come back on Monday and tell us about your weekend. It’s simple. It’s fun. And it’s surprisingly motivating. I hope you’ll join in the fun this weekend. (By the way, don’t forget to come back later for a fabulous Freebie Friday post!)
