Y  Take down New Year’s Eve decorations.

Y  Start planning for Valentine’s Day. – I already have cards for Brian, Jacob, and Olivia, small gifts for Jacob and Olivia (Brian and I don’t do gifts for V-Day), and gifts for the teachers.  The only thing left is to order Valentines for Olivia to send out to her class!

Y  Start planning for Brian’s and Olivia’s birthdays. – Y’all, I’m so on top of things and it feels amazing!  I’m already completely done shopping for B, and I’m more than halfway done shopping for Olivia.  Olivia has already nailed down her theme (Taylor Swift – what else?  LOL), and she already knows what she wants to do with her friends.
