Tips and Pointers for An Organized Thanksgiving

It’s just 3 weeks away from one of the most delicious and treasured holidays and to help get you prepared, we have put together some very helpful pointers and tricks to get you organized for Thanksgiving. I will be giving several tips to get you through this holiday stress free. I’ll start with two weeks out and as Turkey Day draws closer, I’ll give tips for two and three days before. So whether the flour is flying or the wine is flowing, I hope everyone can get a few great ideas that will ease them into the giving spirit.

Tip of the Day

The first thing you should do to get ready is make a checklist. Begin with two weeks before and narrow down to two days before. Getting the turkey, the side dishes and all the guests to the dinner table at the same time will take some planning. Make a “to-do” list of what needs to be done and what you want to be done in order to get organized. Make sure your duties are prioritized. Everything from getting extra stuffing to cleaning the bathroom to putting out the smelly candles should be written down. A good rule of thumb is to start broad and revise your “to-do” list as you are able to check things off. Your duties will get more specific as the days go by.

My Favorite Thing:

One of the best “to do” pads for a multi-task project like preparing for Thanksgiving is the 3 Way Notepad from Knock Knock. It gives you 3 different notepads for tasks to complete, errands to run and people or places to contact. And the best part… they are all connected and lay right next to each other so you don’t have little pieces of paper flying around everywhere.
