2024 Thanksgiving Menu and Meal Prep Timeline

* image These past few months have been busy for our family, especially since our oldest joined a local swim team. Between juggling our work schedules and balancing school with practices... we're all pretty wiped out. Although it's a lot of work, I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving. Preparing the holiday meal for our family fills my heart with joy, and I can't wait to get started. To make things easier for me, I don't deviate much from  our first Thanksgiving  as a family. The dishes I make are familiar ones, and the recipes for them live at my fingertips. Keeping the same menu year after year means I don't have to spend time researching recipes or planning a new one. Here are my tried-and-true Thanksgiving recipes, as well as my prep timeline for the big day!

Everyday Reminders to Say "I Love You"

Here's a fun round-up of heart-related accessories that will help remind you to express your love every single day.

Valentine's Day is next week.

While Stephen and I have a lunch date scheduled, I don't have the perfect romantic gift for him. To be real, it's unlikely that I'd top last year's perfect birthday gift, so I'm giving myself a pass.

The temptation to go overboard on Valentine's Day is still lingering, though. Rather than give into it, I'm turning to my blog as a distraction. Four years ago, I shared a round-up of kitchen accessories featuring a heart design, and I thought I'd do it again. Especially since there are so many cute things out there now!

Any one of these items would make a fun addition to your home... if not in recognition of the holiday, then as a reminder to express your love every day to those who are special to you.


Do you guys have anything special planned for Valentine's Day? Or are you going the low-key route like us?
