Seriously girl, I am in awe. You are so organized and while some people might think your videos are crazy long, I love how you explain your thought process behind everything. Keep it up!!!
you are so organized with everything jen! my mom and grandma do thanksgiving alternating years and we just buy the stuff a few days beforehand and on the day of we bring up the longer folding table we have! it works out for us because its just my immediate family and my moms parents and brother. but since you have lots and lots of guests i can see how it would be super stressful to set everything up and a list definitely helps
Ps: was just reading previous comments about how long the videos can be. Love your vids and keep then coming short and long!! I always find myself wanting more when they are short!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE That you posted about your Thanksgiving Binder! I was inspired and had to rush out to Staples and purchase the supplies to make my own. I pretty much followed exactly how you made yours lol. Thanks so much Jen, you motivate me to get organized and I can already feel the stress of the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday lifting off of my sholders because now I feel prepared, organized, and I know what to expect! Thanks again!! Cant wait for Vlogidays!! :-)
You can use a wet erase marker (Vis a Vis) and check off your to-dos over the sheet protector. Then all you need is to wipe the protector with a wet rag.
I have got to tell you, I stumbled on your videos through scraproom videos.Im obsessed! I have redone several rooms now and gotten so much more organized! Life is so much easier! I'm a busy gram(I raise my grandson who is 3) and have a house full as my youngest son his new baby and girlfriend and her 3 year old live with us so he can finish college! I own my own business also, so this has really helped! Can't wait to see your Xmas videos! Thank you so much!
this is awesome! i went out and bought a binder to start my own! my sister hosts thanksgiving for my side and last year we started hosting for my husbands family the Saturday after. this binder will help me get everything organized since i am responsible for pies and mashed pots for my sisters and everything for my husbands. so far no one has offered but i have a couple sides i would be willing to hand off.
Thank-you , Jen, let me tell you I will use all your ideas for my own Thanksgiving Dinner, it will be the first ime I try to cook myself in 10 years. I have 4 siblings and they are all married with kids so it's been easy going over someone else's house for Thanksgiving. I have such a cooking phobia but your organization and recipes will help me get thru this. I have a 3 year old and want to start my own family tradition. Wish me luck.
Even your organization is organized....heheheh...I tend to over organize and sometimes get bogged down in the details of organizing. I wont even cross something off my to do list unless I am using a red pen....CRAZY HUH??? I love your eye make up in this video...... Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, your family and most especially your husband must love having such a gracious hostess.....
I haven't watched the video yet but seeing your list has me overwhelmed. I'm preparing for being the cook and host at my uncles vacation home and have been planning silently and thought of you when my list was being born. Lol. So I can't wait to see what I can copy from you. Hope you have a great and stress free event!!
I adored to see the wallpaper you had on your screen! :) (min 0:14). I would really love a video where you show the wallpapers you have had through a year or how your screen looks after a year or something :) I really loved the style of your screen. Even that is gorgeous, as you.!
We don't have Thanksgiving here in the UK but I am definately going to organise my Christmas prepparations this way. You are an absolute gawd send. Thank you thank you thank you. I'm off to do a binder and then type up my sheets.
MommyReporter, I don't use a dry erase if I am going to be touching the sheet protector often because it will just wipe off. If you arent touching it much, thats a great idea. Much faster :)
anyway i was wondering since we are doing a smoked turkey do you use the same brine for both? its our first time smoking a turkey so i am looking for a great brine recipe. thanks so much Jen!!!
Sorry, one more question.... Did you happen to post the recipe for the pumpkin icebox pie anywhere, it sounds delish and I would love to give it a try this year if you could post it....Thanks.
Thank you for your ideas. Just a question...have you always been this organized or did this happen as you got older? I feel usually it is in our DNA. LOL Keep sharing your ideas. Cheers
I did something similar the last two years. It made Thanksgiving so easy. This year a friend is host and using these tips. I sent her the links to your prep videos from last year. So helpful!
you are super organised! we dont have thanksgiving, but when it comes to xmas day, theres usually someone on a computer chair and fold up garden chairs! haha love your videos. x
I'm a new subscriber and I love your videos! I've been on a binge with your videos lol I've watched a whole bunch from both channel, especially your vlogs and they're great :)
Jen, what type of camera do you use for your RUclips videos, I have been researching them and find such mixed reviews on all of the ones I am interested in. Thanks in advance.....Brenda
Hi Jen - just wanted to let you know that your videos have been super motivating for me! I appreciate the time and effort you put in to get these up for us. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Jen Im addicted to your videos...I come from N. Ireland we obviously dont have thanksgiving but...yip Im still watching hehe! Thanks Jen (theres transferable skills here)!
I like the idea of using a Sharpie to write on top of the sheet protector. You can even reuse the sheet protector by erasing the Sharpie marks with rubbing alcohol :)
Thanks for all the great info Jen. You have inspired and helped me organized my holidays along with my home. And it has made a huge difference around here. Thanks again!:)
Thanks Jen, I'm hosting my 1st thanksgiving this year and I really needed some sense of direction.... I didn't even know where to begin so this is a big help...
Thank you for sharing this, Jen! This gave me great ideas to use for the Holiday! Love your videos, and appreciate you taking time to show us all this! :) U Rock!
Seriously girl, I am in awe. You are so organized and while some people might think your videos are crazy long, I love how you explain your thought process behind everything. Keep it up!!!
brilliant to have such a detailed schedule to keep everything on time but I would need a vacation after that...
you are so organized with everything jen!

I would love your pumpkin cupcake recipe :) the kids would enjoy those for sure!
great organizational tools!
Ps: was just reading previous comments about how long the videos can be. Love your vids and keep then coming short and long!! I always find myself wanting more when they are short!!
I use the Williams Sonoma apple cider brine mix for the smoked turkey. Goes great with the smoked bird!
OH man, do you do Black Friday? What is THAT schedule like???
It's from the Martha Stewart Cupcakes cookbook
It's on Martha Stewart's website as well :)
That video will be up on MHWL tonight :)
You don't need luck - you can do it! :o)
I use the Williams Sonoma mulling spices
It's on the Martha Stewart website
Sony Handycam HDR-150CX
Born this way :o)

I never have that many guests for thanksgiving! lol But its still nice to know in case i ever do have a party with that many people.
its just great to have a template to follow helps me make it easier to make my own schedule based off of it

Thanks for all the great info Jen. You have inspired and helped me organized my holidays along with my home. And it has made a huge difference around here. Thanks again!:)
Why not just use a dry erase marker instead?
Thanks Jen, I'm hosting my 1st thanksgiving this year and I really needed some sense of direction.... I didn't even know where to begin so this is a big help...
You can write over the Sharpie with a dry erase marker to remove it. It just wipes away after... on sheet protectors and the like of course!
Jen, you always inspire me to organize my home and pay attention to the little details that are so important and truly make a difference! ♥
I can use all this for Xmas. Thanks Jen! Must bring you so much joy knowing how much you have helped and inspired others. :)
Jen! I want to try and make that cheddar crust apple pie. Are you planning to film while you make yours?? I hope so, haha!
I spend the Friday after Thanksgiving cleaning up & returning my house to normal. I don't go anywhere near the shops that day!
Hey Jen, you can use a dry erase marker on sheet protectors so they are reusable but it might smudge :X
are you a stay-at-home mom? I wanna be like you when I grow up :) (I hope that doesn't creep you out)
Please never delete your channel, I'm only 18 now but this is going to be SO handy in a few years!!
you're so generous with sharing your ideas, etc, Jen. Thanks for your awesome channels. love them. x
You are so organized! I am getting so many wonderful ideas & motivation from watching your videos!
Great suggestions, thanks Jen! Btw, your makeup is lovely in this vid; and very cute thumbnail !
Thanks so much for taking the time to post this, you have motivated me to cook a turkey this year!
Could you post some of your recipes? I would love to try the spinach squares! Love your videos!
I gave the same tip about rubbing alcohol just before I read yours. Great minds think alike :)
Quick tip. Rubbing alcohol will remove permanent marker from plastic and none porous surfaces.
Exactly - a viewer suggested that to me & I thought it was brilliant! :)
love all of your vids and this is making me so excited to see your thanksgiving prep vlogs
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing the schedule you created, it is really great.
You can use a dry erase marker on the sheet protectors and then erase them to reuse.
Thanks so much for sharing this Jen!!!! Can't wait for all of your holiday vids!!!
you can also use a dry eraise board marker and just wipe off with windex!
great tips, will come handy for any gathering. thanks!
if you use erasable markers you won't have to toss the page protector!
You can set your tables with the glasses upside down to avoid dust :)
I love holiday parties! Can't wait to hear how everything turns out!
Jen thank you for helping me with planing our thanksgiving
Says the person watching the 17 min long video...? lol
