🍗❄️Know when to start thawing your turkey! Be sure to keep it in its packaging & set it in a rimmed container (to prevent juices from splashing on other food). Once thawed, your turkey is safe in the fridge for 2 days.

🙀Taking a pet's medication may sound silly, but it's more common than you think! Your pet's meds can look a LOT like your own meds, especially if distracted.
😺Always store your pet's meds separate from yours
