I always go into the endeavor with good intentions (dust the ceiling fan blades, tidy the laundry room, reorganize my closet...) and always fall short which leaves me both down on myself and in need of some serious sangria. The trick, I've learned over the course of a few failed attempts at domestic perfection, is to break it up into manageable tasks. This year I created a comprehensive checklist and am spreading it out over the course of about a week (i.e. the kitchen on Monday, the office on Tuesday...).

In the past I've loaded up the fridge/sent guests home with mismatched plastic containers but not this year! I whipped up these festive labels (with the help of my tiny assistant... see that chubby toddler hand?), stocked up on kraft boxes and am determined to have a pretty post-Thanksgiving fridge. Want to use them too? Simply print on label paper or secure with tape... wasn't that easy?!
