Getting Organized: A Year Full of Birthdays!

I have wanted to send our birthday cards to all of our family members since we got married. I've got a great memory for dates and numbers and know almost all of the birthdays in my family by heart, so compiling my family wasn't too difficult. Getting my husband's family's dates was a little more tricky. So, after nearly 4 years of marriage, I'm finally doing it! I got all the dates, put them in a spreadsheet so I'll always have them, wrote them all in my planner and headed to Hallmark to buy cards! Needless to say, my stack was so gigantic that I decided to only purchase cards for the first half of the year. The woman at Hallmark thought I was crazy, but it's one thing off my plate!

Here's my wonderful, yet packed planner. Now that the cards are organized by month, I have a card box that has folders for each month that they'll go in.


Here's my month of February and the stack for February. I have them addressed, stamped and ready to go out!
