The best part of Thanksgiving isn't what's on the table. It's who's sitting around it.
There's something special about this time of year. The smell of Thanksgiving dinner cooking, the sound of family filling the house, kids running around, someone sneaking a taste before dinner, and everyone gathering around the table to make another year's worth of memories.
As we start getting our homes ready for the holidays, we wanted to share a few little reminders to help everything go smoothly.
🍂 Keep the turkey grease out of the sink. We know cleanup isn't anyone's favorite part of Thanksgiving! Let cooking grease cool and dispose of it in the trash instead of pouring it down the drain.
🍂 Give your garbage disposal a little break. Scrape plates into the trash, especially potato peels, large food scraps, and anything greasy. Your kitchen sink will thank you!
🍂 Check the guest bathroom before everyone arrives. Make sure the toilet flushes properly, faucets aren't dripping, and drains are flowing freely. And remember, even wipes labeled "flushable" belong in the trash.
🍂 Know where your main water shutoff valve is. It's one of those little things every homeowner should know, just in case.
But most importantly, don't get so caught up in preparing the perfect holiday that you forget to enjoy the people you're preparing it for. ❤️
The dishes can wait. The house doesn't have to be perfect. And sometimes the best memories are made when things don't go exactly as planned.
From all of us at Integrity Plumbing and More, we're grateful to be part of this wonderful community.
Happy Thanksgiving season to our friends and neighbors throughout Port Orange, Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach, and Volusia County!
