Will you be hosting guests this year for Thanksgiving?
Here at Home Ec 101, we do not... OK, we try not to have all-day cleaning marathons.
We break projects into manageable pieces spread out over time. Getting ready to host Thanksgiving is a big, often stressful, project.
You’ve got the weekly chore chart to help you with your home over the next few weeks, but today, we have a particular project in mind.
Getting Ready for Thanksgiving Guests
Today’s task is simple in concept, but the execution is where many of us run into trouble. Please know I am calling myself out.
It is time to locate your table(s) and any extension you need for Thanksgiving.
But, Heather, I know where my table is. Why would you phrase it that way?
I don’t know about you, but in our home, the dining room table is where my husband works during the day. It also serves as a landing zone for everyone who enters through the front door. It is the repository for paperwork and odds and ends that do not have a home.
The kitchen table serves as the place to feed the preschoolers and as the crafting, coloring, and launching everyone for the day zone.
So yes, technically, we know where the tables are, but for many of us, the surfaces could use clearing and upkeep.
Today’s tasks:
- Clear the table(s)
- Clean the table(s)
- Locate any extension that will be used on Thanksgiving
- If you have an extension, save its location in your phone’s Note app or Google Keep.
Are you excited to host Thanksgiving this year?
Still easiest just to go to someone else’s house and let them do all the work! 🙂 Oh, but I do bring apple pie.
Your apple pie is a good trade. . .
You are sweet, thank you. Going to the mountains next weekend and will be getting more apples!
