Hello 2015!

Holidays are so blissful -  late nights, sleeping in, relaxed meal times and menus, family outtings, friends coming to stay, camping and working on projects around the house.  All my routines have slipped, I am behind on housework, meal planning is non existent and I'm not confident about the level of hygiene in my kitchen and bathrooms, but I'm okay with it - for now. I know that the holidays will soon come to an end and as disorganized as I have become  over the past week or so, I know that I have the systems in place to pick up the pieces and get back on track when the family's back to their normal schedules.

I have managed to plan a short time ahead for upcoming birthdays and picked up some discounted presents in the after Christmas sales, which I have wrapped and stacked away.  It isn't as much as I would have liked, but it is a start and I will build on it more in a few weeks.
