⛄❄️ New Year Organizing Ideas PLUS Winter Crafts & Games ❄️⛄


Hello Reader,

Well, the New Year is off to its start already! Has it been a great start for you? It has been a good start for me, because just at the end of 2025 I videoed our 4th Year at Century Farms! and realized what all we had accomplished last year--- it was a lot! Some of it were "little" things that make a big impact when added all together.

And.... it's starting to look like we might really get a new porch soon! The posts and railings are in poor condition, and I'm looking forward to installing vinyl ones that will never need painting. Add in some new sidewalks (hmm, not sure if that will get done this year or not) and a paved driveway if a million dollars falls into our laps- ha- and our house would look like a million dollars! Oh, and don't forget the landscaping that would need to go along with all of that..... well--- it's nice to dream, isn't it?!

It's not too late to do some New Year's organizing. So here are those ideas for you:

(by the way-- did you know if you save your nice calendars that you can reuse them every six years or so? there's a frugal tip for you! I'm reusing two this year!)

And ALSO...... How about some Winter Games and Crafts to do when it's too cold to go outside?

(If you've never tried this game--- it looks like "snow" much fun!!!

I hope you find these ideas useful.

Until next time.....

Warmly,
Liberty

I had put the lawn chairs on the porch for the winter-- so today I moved them back to the lawn-- it was super...

Hello Reader, Well I always struggle with decorating for Valentine's Day because--- when I undecorate for Christmas, I usually leave my snowman stuff out a little bit longer. And then I start wanting to get out the Valentine stuff..... and usually what happens is there are snowmen and hearts everywhere!If I had thought about it, a long time ago I should've made my snowmen and Valentine's color coordinate, so it would look better--- like maybe a pastel aqua blue and light pink theme for both...
