Christmas Cleaning

 

Thanks for joining me for Tuesday Tackle hosted by Lolli from www.5minutesformom.com. Each week we gather to discuss a problem that needs to be tackled. Come link up with us and join the fun!

 

Thanksgiving is over. Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday are over. Now it time to officially get back to the old routine.

 

And so begins time to decorate and get ready for Christmas. This week I’m working on putting the house back together from Thanksgiving and getting it ready to decorate. Unfortunately, I have two houses to work on as I do my boyfriend’s as well so this project will probably go through next week. I’ve got to get everything scrubbed from floor to ceiling and get the decorations up.

 

What about you? What are you tackling this week?

Thanksgiving!

This week I had to tackle getting the house ready to host Thanksgiving dinner. I live with my Mom and I was helping her cook. I had to make sure the house was clean and presentable. I went to the store with her on Wednesday to get last-minute items to prepare the food. Then on Thursday, I got up early so I could help her cook the food. We had turkey, stuffing, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, broccoli & cauliflower salad and rolls. For dessert we had lime salad, pumpkin pie, pumpkin roll and peanut butter pie. Despite a couple of minor distractions, all in all in was a good day.

What about you? What did you have to tackle to get ready for Thanksgiving dinner?
