Tomorrow is “crunch” day! If you haven’t bought it, or if you need to bake ahead, Tomorrow is your last chance!
For those of us who enjoy being in the kitchen, this Thursday is our ‘Super Bowl’!
Today I will spend getting the house ready for guests, giving the bathrooms a good cleaning, wiping out the shelves in the fridge, and making sure I have all serving bowl and platters. I’ll be going over the list of things to prepare so that if there has been anything forgotten, I can pick it up today! Today and tomorrow will be a great time to take special time with your child or children.
There are so many things that you have to do to prepare for this meal. And unless you’re an extreme perfectionist, you’ll admit that there are some things that your little one can help in preparing. It may be as simple as washing some vegetables that you’ll use, or counting the napkins. Or if they’re more mature, they can learn to use a knife and cut some vegetables or prepare a cheese tray. They can also help cleaning.
They can learn to be considerate of others by imagining themselves as Grandma using this restroom. What would she like to see? Or by thinking of their Uncle or other relative; where would they like to sit in the seating arrangement. There are so many ways that you can draw each child in.
Remember that Holidays are about those we love. Take time today to share a personal moment with each member in your home.
