THE WEEKLY MEMO

October 30th — November 5th

Thanksgiving — Consider and plan for your pre-and post- thanksgiving feast traditions — There are a few essentials for every Thanksgiving celebration: family, friends, festive tunes, a few bottles of wine, tasty cocktails, an even tastier menu, pie, and more! Beyond that, well, it’s up to you. Now is a great time to think about (and plan/prepare for!!) the beloved traditions associated with Turkey Day. So what do you and your family want to do pre-and post-feast? We rounded up some of OUR FAVORITE THANKSGIVING DAY TRADITIONS.

Veteran’s Day — Send a Card — BUY CARDS and stamps and then put pen to paper to thank the veterans in your life who sacrifice so much for our freedom. Then, make sure you drop your card(s) off at the post office by the end of this week to ensure they arrive on time.

Find the Fun — Make Beef Stew & Popovers — Add the extra ingredients you’ll need to your grocery order this week, and then enjoy turning on your favorite playlist and cooking a warm, delicious meal for your family and friends. We made INA’S ULTIMATE BEEF STEW, and it was perfect. Easy to make and delicious!

Thanksgiving — What to Wear on Thanksgiving — Now that Thanksgiving is not *so* far off, It’s time to think more intensively about what you and your partner/family might wear for Thanksgiving this year.

Holiday Gifting — Decide your gifts for partners, kids, family members, friends, and co-workers — Continue to brainstorm (and begin ordering presents if you are ready!) for everyone on your holiday gift list. We put together our favorite HOLIDAY GIFTS FOR CHILDREN.

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