Can we prepare a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner, welcome family and friends, and create wonderful memories without overspending?
Absolutely! And it begins with making thoughtful decisions.
Join us as we talk about the household economy of Thanksgiving—and how to manage our money, time, energy, and resources while preparing for a meaningful holiday.
On November 7, we share how we prepare our families' favorite Thanksgiving meals. This Saturday, November 14, we'll show you how we prepare our homes to welcome family and friends.
