Thanksgiving Week is here in the United States. Yay! This week brings a bit more relaxing to our schedule as my children are out of school the entire week.
Having been cleaning on and off for the past few weeks, I have made lots of progress though I am not finished. In preparing for our Thanksgiving Feast on Thursday, I choose to start with a plan.
Last year, I shared my overview which worked well. This year, I am still cleaning, so I have a more detailed plan to get me from here to there:
Monday
- Pickup the downstairs
- Quick clean the downstairs half bathroom
- Enjoy my children being home
- Write a couple blog posts
Tuesday
- Finish any last minute shopping
- Start brining our turkey (Paul prepares the brine. :D)
- Clean master bathroom and bedroom
- Enjoy my children being home
- Write a blog post or two
Wednesday
- Bake pies and cake
- Work on laundry
- Clean my children’s rooms
- Write a blog post
Thursday
- Happy Thanksgiving!
- Bake the turkey and fixings
- Host Thanksgiving at our home with family and friends
- Take Back my Kitchen
- Watch football
- Enjoy the day with friends
- Watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving with my children
Friday
- Host a play date with out-of-town guests
- Pack up Thanksgiving items
- Start decorating for Christmas
- Watch football
- Enjoy the day with my family
- Write a blog post
Saturday
- More Christmas decorating
- Finish any cleaning
- Watch football

- Write a blog post
Our Thanksgiving Week is underway. Though I may not get everything marked off my list, I have a plan from which to start each day. If you are celebrating Thanksgiving this week, then I wish you a blessed week of thankfulness and gratitude among the cleaning, preparing, and scheduling. Keep using time wisely as you celebrate this week!
Question: What tasks are you hoping to cross off your list this week?
