Kitchen Week

Week Eight sees us down and dirty in the heart of the home: the kitchen. It's Kitchen Week at the Holiday Grand Plan!

This week, we'll clear the decks for the holiday cooking to come with a kitchen clean-up and declutter. In holiday prep, it's Checkpoint Week and time to make plans for Halloween night.
