Does any of this sound familiar as we head into the week of Thanksgiving?
You’re hosting a houseful of family and friends for the big day and there’s lots to prepare. A few people are bringing dishes to contribute, but you know your kitchen will feel chaotic as you cook the turkey, time it just right, juggle all the side dishes, perfect the gravy, and miraculously get everything on the table at the same time for the group to enjoy the meal together. It’s a lot of hard work but it feels worth it as you share a beautiful meal with loved ones.
But then…it’s time to clean up.
And all those wonderful people graciously offer to help clean the kitchen. Though you desperately need the support, you’re so embarrassed as they begin opening cupboards, looking for Tupperware, Ziplocs, and foil.
You’d rather do all the cleanup alone than have everyone see the big jumble of stuff behind those cupboard doors!
If you’ve ever felt that way in your kitchen, don’t worry! I’ve worked with so many people who’ve felt just like this and there really is another way.
Before the big day arrives, try this quick tip to help calm your kitchen and create more space.
If you’re ready to create extra space in your kitchen, I still have a few spots open before Thanksgiving and would love to work with you.
