With Thanksgiving being only a week away, now is the perfect time for a little refresh of your food storage spaces. Before you even head out to the store, go through your pantry, back-stock food storage areas, refrigerator, and freezer to see what you already have on hand.

If you are in charge of bringing the green bean casserole, use the green beans that you've had in the back of your pantry before buying more (assuming they have not expired). In charge of macaronni and cheese? Use those elbows noodles that you bought this summer with the intention of making pasta salad, but that never happened. Guilty of this one myself. 🙋‍♀️

Now is also a great time to donate any food to your local food bank that you think you will not use. Again, just make sure they have not expired.

Shoutout to those of us who sometimes do laundry Grandma’s way! 🙋🏼‍♀️ It has finally gotten cold here, which means the heat is running and this house is DRY!! So, besides running humidifiers, I revert to drying clothes like my grandmother I airdry them.

I love doing this in the summer (especially with sheets) because they make my clothes smell so good! But, you can do this in winter also. I simply use the doorway to hang pants or my husband’s work shirts on hangers and I use wooden drying racks for t-shirts. I place the drying racks over our heat vents and they are dry in no time. This method does a couple of things: it puts humidity back in the house, makes the house smell like fresh laundry, and it saves a little on that electric bill by not running the dryer.

This method isn’t for everyone nor is it something I do all the time. But, today, it fit into my schedule, made me reminisce about my childhood, and frankly, it just felt good to do it. Do what makes you happy, helps you succeed at your tasks, and brings you peace.

If your mind is racing with all the things you have on your holiday "To-Do" list, follow me for tips and tricks for a stress-free holiday season. In the coming days, I'll be sharing some quick and easy, as well as more in-depth ideas on how to get your home and your life Holiday Ready. I even have a FREE printable download on my website so you can write down on those racing "to do" lists. A night time brain dump can help you get the thoughts out of your head, onto paper, and give you a great night's sleep.
