Thanksgiving is a one of my favorite holidays! It brings together all that I love! It’s our family sitting together, lingering, chatting and enjoying each other at our dinner table.\u00a0 It’s a food festival with special seasonal treats like noodles, bread dressing and gravy.\u00a0 It’s a day of thankfulness, blessings and mindfulness.\u00a0 Here are a few tips for Thanksgiving Day Organized.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s also a day to be especially organized!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Invite guests<\/h3>\n

Make your plans and invite your guests two weeks ahead.\u00a0 Knowing who is coming is a blessing to you and your guests.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Decide on your meal plan<\/h3>\n

It’s fun to share the day and share the cooking. Who will bring the turkey? Who will bring what side dishes? Who is bringing the pie? Share the responsibility and also get some help from Mrs. Kroger.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grocery shop and prep early<\/h3>\n

There’s a lot of food to buy and veggies to prep. Start early with both of these to be sure you have enough time and energy.\u00a0 Turkeys need time to thaw and cook properly<\/a>.\u00a0 A great timeline<\/a> helps you stay organized.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enjoy your day<\/h3>\n

Enjoy the day with family friends.\u00a0 A game of charades, snooze on the couch, afternoon walk, or color pages can make for a little extra fun.\u00a0 It’s the little touches that add to a special event and make family memories.<\/a><\/p>\n
