Today’s zone mission is to clean out your refrigerator. So how does cleaning out your refrigerator relate to getting ready for the Holidays? By cleaning out your refrigerator, you will make room for some of your Holiday food purchases. You will be tossing things that are out of date. You will be making notes on what you need to get for your Holiday baking. I see that as loading the bases toward getting ready for the Holidays. I tend to clean out my refrigerator weekly, but I don’t always wipe the shelves, so that will be my goal this week. I will wipe one shelf a day starting at the top and working my way down. I should be able to do this in three days.
It’s the day after the election, and since I live on the East Coast, I check results first thing the day after the election. Use this as a wrap up discussion of the election process. Talk to your children about the “lame duck” session that now exists until Inauguration Day on January 20.
If you have any Holiday tips to pass along, please feel free to email me at Tami@TamiFox.com.
