As much as I hate to admit it, you will not find my house company ready if you were to show up un announced. With kids, pets, and work, it is impossible to keep my home tidy everyday. So if you are anything like me, and need to do a run around the house like a crazy lady the day company is coming over. here are some tips to keep you on track
Go around each room and put away toys, books, shoes, and anything that doesnt belong in that room. And dont forget to clear your coffee table and fluff the couch pillows.
Remember ... An uncluttered room looks clean, even if it isnt. (SHHH.. Our little secret!)
Clear kitchen countertops and wipe down the counter. Put the catch all pile of mail, school papers, and sale papers in a basket to sort through later. Run your dishwasher and put them away when they are done so it is empty when its time to clean at the end of the night.
Set the dining table in advance so you can enjoy your company .
Wipe down your bathroom, windex the mirror, empty the bathroom trash, and set out fresh clean towels.
Only sweep and vacuum your main rooms if you are short on time ( and energy!)
Light a candle! Put on some light background music and grab a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and enjoy spending time with your family and friends
