As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
As parents, we know there's a strong case to make for living in the moment and being present for your family, but there's no denying that planning, whether that be for a holiday, birthday, or holiday, is just as rewarding. Is there no way to be present while simultaneously — and joyously — thinking ahead to our favourite times of the year?
