This Weekend: Don’t Let This Stand In The Way of Your Holiday
There’s a lot of pressure around hosting this time of year. When guests arrive, you’re not only spending a lot of time with those friends and family, but you’re also responsible (at least in part) for their holiday memories. With only a couple of weekends until Thanksgiving (and plenty of other holidays on its heels), are you and your home ready? If not, then this weekend, smooth the way to a stress-free experience where Thanksgiving goes off without a hitch.
This Weekend’s Assignment: Get ready for your holiday house guests.
Get The Basics Ready: It’s not about whether or not your baseboards are white glove clean, or if fresh flowers adorn every table surface. There’s really only a short list of things that really truly make a difference to your guests. Nail these things down and you guarantee a good visit every time.
