đď¸ Do These 9 Things During Holiday Clean Up
Welcome to the Prepared Enough podcast, a space where we simplify motherhood, nurture our families, and design homes that help us raise independent and helpful children.
Three notes about doing the reset now:
* You got it out, you might as well do it.
* Your later self will thank you.
* If you donât take care of it now, odds are you wonât take care of it in November.
Episode Talking Points:
1. Write a list of any materials or decor you want to buy for next year so you can keep an eye out for products and sales throughout the year or early in the 2026 holiday season (decoration, hosting, etc.).
2. Rid of stuff you donât want that never made it out of your Christmas bins or any broken decoration you donât want cluttering your house and attic.
3. Clean basement or attic space where holiday bins will be put back.
4. Toss or fix broken ornaments. If you put them away broken, odds are that you will not fix them next year.
5. Put your ornaments away in the order you want to take them out next year (think: toddlers and other small grabby humans).
6. Wrap books.
7. Update / delete items from online gift lists OR move them to private. Create lists to add to for the upcoming year.
8. The first things you are going to have to think about for next year are holiday cards if you do them. Set a date in your calendar to start thinking about pictures, or DIY cards, or ordering cards, etc.
9. If you have any handmade items you want to make for next year, get serious about actually starting them earlier than November.
