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!

It's been a while since I've shared my Holiday Gift Guide for Food Lovers. Three years ago, in fact. I was living the life of a mom of one and still felt that I had that life relatively under control. I was still freelancing and hadn't gone back to work yet... so it seemed only natural to spend some of my free time organizing a gift guide for the blog.

But times have definitely changed.

We have two kids now -- one is a whirlwind chatterbox and the other is a curious toddler. I'm working full-time and commuting an hour each way. We're this close to buying a new house so I don't have to do that commute anymore. And that "free time"? I'll let you know how I spend all my free time once I stop laughing my head off.

(These are tears of laughter flowing down my cheeks, right?)

I just have to remember that this situation is temporary. Things will calm down once we're settled in the new house... Maybe then I'll find some of that "free time" I've been missing so much.

Until then, I'm making more of a conscious effort to make time for blogging... So I'd love it if you'd keep reading and see my present picks!
