Friends I have GREAT news! For a very limited time, my eBook Keep the Happy in Your Holidays: 21 Ways to Save Time, Money, and Your Sanity this Christmas Season is FREE right now on all eBook platforms.
As our calendars fill and our bank accounts empty, some of us switch into survival mode, praying just to make it to January 2. We want to keep the crazy out of our daytimer, checkbook, and minds so that the true meaning of the season can be celebrated. But the big question is always HOW?
Keep the Happy in Your Holidays provides a mix of practical tips and inspirational reflection to help you truly enjoy the next two months. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll see inside of the book.
Budgeting Tips You Need NOW
I know Christmas seems far away, but you need to begin thinking through your budget yesterday. Have you considered every single category of spending? There are so many that are easily forgotten – from attire for Christmas photos to cookie exchanges, the tips in the book will begin to help you outline what and how much you should spend. And at the same time, you’ll be encouraged to make a pledge not to spend more than you make this Christmas. Everyone should do that today! In addition, there are links to 7 Printable Christmas Budget forms to help you form your plan of attack.
Black Friday Strategies
It’s the highest of shopping holidays and I have insider secrets to help you avoid temptations, purchase the items you can’t get any cheaper throughout the year, navigate the store without getting a fist fight and more. Believe it or not, the ads for deals will begin rolling in in a matter of days. You won’t miss the best ones if you read my strategies to maximize Black Friday.
Relationship Tips for Gifts
Kids, neighbors, teachers, friends – the holiday season often brings with it stress, confusion, and temptation. We’re not sure how much to spend on who or how to help our kids keep from becoming present-addicting money grubbing grinches. After paying off $127K in debt, I learned some significant lessons in cultivating contentment in my own soul and raising kids who don’t expect an entire store on December 25th. If you’re unsure who you need to give a gift to, how much to spend, or how to open uncomfortable conversations about when to quit exchanging presents, this book is for you.
Free Printables
I’m most excited about this element of the eBook. Gift tags, A Debt Free Pledge Chalkboard Art, New Year Goal setting sheets, and more are linked in the eBook. You can easily print off beautiful and practical documents to help you balance your budget and decorate your home!
