Easter Checklist

I found this checklist of things to do to get ready for Easter. I LOVE checklists! I have a planner that I am always writing "Things To Do" on it. I think that I have become a little anal about the whole thing! Anyway, here is a checklist of things to do to get ready for Easter. Easter is only 6 weeks away and I want to make this a fun one! With an Easter egg hunt and everything!

Get Organized Week
To do this week:
1. Make the promise! Spend 15 minutes each day this week to get organized for Easter.
2. Set up your Easter section in your holiday planner.
3. Add blank lined pages for any notes and records. Create and add a master "to do" list for Easter.
4. Make or designate a planning calendar. Pencil in items to accomplish or list Lent services/activities.
5. Begin at the beginning: review your family's holiday values. Print and record your findings on the values page. What messages do you want conveyed about this holiday? What activities are most meaningful?
6. Baskets await!! Start a list. Don't forget to record purchases and plan accordingly.
7. Make a list of people you want to send Easter cards to. Locate addresses, and consider making a computerized address list for maximum time savings. Making cards? Don't forget to create a supply list.
8. Print a home spruce-up worksheet and complete the home spruce-up exercise. Plan and schedule any pre-holiday home improvement projects. Think: Spring cleaning!
9. Will your family travel this holiday? Or will you have guests? Plan your trip or plan guest accommodations this week.
10. Think family photos: stock up on camera batteries, pick up Easter scrapping supplies or other photo related chores.
11. Schedule carpet cleaning now! Think Spring and seasonal cleaning chores.
