January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December
I actually really enjoy November because it's often gray skies and wintry weather give me a good excuse to just stay indoors and concentrate on my home before the onslaught of the holidays. This is why I save the clothes closet for November: before Thanksgiving, there's not much going on outdoors except some football. This may be one of your most productive times of the year.
Home Organization Project: Kitchens & Holidays
It's probably been since July since we completed a major kitchen overhaul. Dive back in before the holidays to organize cabinets, pantries, appliances and then locate serving dishes and platters that may be needed during the holidays.
