Thanksgiving Checklist - Day 7

Congratulations!  You've made it to Thanksgiving Eve.  I hope this has been your most organized Thanksgiving yet.  Just one more day of preparation before the big day!

​Wednesday

• ​Prepare side dishes in advance.  So many side dishes can be made ahead the day before Thanksgiving.  This will save you time in food preparation and washing dishes tomorrow.  Consider making your bread dough and pies today.  Stuffing can be made in advance as well and even mashed potatoes.  I love the Pioneer Woman make-ahead mashed potatoes recipe here.  So yummy!
• Cleaning touch-ups.  Your house is clean, but give those bathrooms one last check to make sure they are clean and stocked with toilet paper, soap, and clean towels.  Do a quick pick-up around the house so you're not stashing clutter in the closet as the doorbell is ringing tomorrow.
• Set the table.  You've had a productive week and a busy day of cooking and cleaning, now it's time to make things pretty.  Set everything up for tomorrow's feast and enjoy the feeling of being prepared.

Thursday

• ​The big day is here!  The preparations are done.  Consult your cooking schedule and finish those delicious foods!  Grab a glass of wine or good old sweet tea and enjoy your guests.  Remember your blessings and forget the rest.  Happy Thanksgiving!
