Why You Need This Thanksgiving Planning Guide

Let me tell you a story that changed how I approach Thanksgiving forever. Back in 2012, someone handed me a 20-pound frozen turkey the day before Thanksgiving. Yes, you read that right – the DAY before! While I managed to pull off dinner, it was one of the most stressful experiences of my life. That’s exactly why I created this comprehensive Thanksgiving planner – so you (and I!) never have to face that kind of holiday panic again.
