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!

Looking for some last-minute Mother's Day gift ideas? Don't worry... I've got you covered.

I celebrated my first Mother's Day as a mom years ago, but this is the first time I'm actually looking forward to it. 

That sounds horrible, right? 

But, the truth is, celebrating Mother's Day has been hard ever since my mother passed away. And we're only now reaching the point where the kids can be more involved in planning the day.

Our sweet girl is horrible at keeping secrets, so she let it slide she's been working on a special surprise for me at school. (Please don't let it involve glitter.) Plus, I'm super excited about attending the school's Mother's Day tea.

While I'm curious about the adorable handmade keepsakes that'll be coming my way on May 12... I wouldn't mind receiving any of these items on my Mother's Day Gift Guide this year!
