Hi friends! Can you believe we are already in NOVEMBER and getting excited about Thanksgiving and the holidays? This week’s list will help us all get organized and prepared in a way that sparks joy versus overwhelms us.

Let’s make it a wonderful week, friends!

Thank you for your friendship and readership. Xx Meg

THE WEEKLY MEMO

November 6th — November 12th

Holiday Cards — Review Photos & select the winner(s)! — If you plan to send a card this year, now’s a good time to start getting organized. Review your photos and select your favorite one (or a few!)

Plan Gift Swaps — Gift swaps can be so fun, but THE KEY is making sure everyone has enough time to find a gift! So, get an email/text to lay out the rules, spending limit, etc., and start planning the WHAT, WHEN, and WHERE you’ll host the gift swap.

Hosting Thanksgiving — Plan Table Settings & Decorations — We’re following Ina Garten’s lead and breaking down the three simple details you need for a perfect Thanksgiving table. 3 SIMPLE STEPS TO A BEAUTIFUL THANKSGIVING TABLE SETTING,

Hosting Thanksgiving — Plan your Menu, Schedule Extra Cleaning so your house is sparkling clean, Send Linens to the Dry Cleaner, and place final catering order(s).

Thanksgiving — What to Wear — REMINDER — A gentle reminder to purchase any festive Thanksgiving outfits you want your minis + family to wear so that everyone looks their best 🤍

Christmas — Decorate Your Home — Start thinking about how you want to decorate your home and add items to your cart so you can get the decorations while they are still in stock! If you usually hire a pro (or want to start this year), now is an excellent time to contact the company and get on their schedule to hang your lights, decorate your yard, etc.! 

Christmas — Order Your Holiday Jammies + Books — Make sure you order your holiday jammies and holiday books before the best ones are sold out — HERE ARE OUR FAVORITES

I hope these micro-tasks inspire you to take action so you can create unforgettable memories with the ones you love the most.
