Whether you are a rookie or a veteran at hosting Thanksgiving, making the most of space and seating while doting over décor can send even the most organized planner into a frenzy.

Happy Parents = Happy Kids
Too often, parents get caught in a constant whirl of kid-friendly activities, scheduling mishaps and drive-through dinners to meet the needs of their family. A 4 a.m. feeding or daily carpool can drain even the most energetic mom or dad. Between your daughter’s dance lessons, your son’s soccer practice and hours of homework and housework to wade through, your hectic schedule may lead to exhaustion and even resentment as you are consumed with your ever-changing role as a parent.
Create a Great Living Room
The name "living room" says it all: You spend most of your home life in it. But you also welcome guests there; it is the most public room of your house and the one in which you want to make a statement and reflect who you are as a family.
Home Decor’s Forgotten Holiday
While ghosts and ghouls are out and about in October, and bright lights are strewn in December in preparation for Christmas, the Thanksgiving holiday, wedged between fright night and silent night, is oft forgotten when it comes to home décor.
When You Love Someone …
When you love someone, you give away your heart and your soul. You break down the walls, unleash your fears and dive in to experience something real. When you love someone, you share who you are inside, what you dream to be and work together to accomplish those dreams.
