July 2012 Weddings

preparing for family?

Anyone panicing slightly with the way your house looks with family coming in and going to be in your home? I will admit I am not UBER neat freak but I have 3 dogs and I always have something scattered on my floor....either stuffing from the death of a beloved toy, kibble, bones, toys scattered, My German Bernard (she's a GSD/St, Bernard mix lol 110lbs baby) likes to drag her blankie out and tug it around the house with her.  and with me working rescue there are chances of me having another dog or two in my home at any given time so I have fur on the furniture...I'm starting to panic because I know how my grandmother is about clean. I'm just having a mini panic attack because my house will NEVER be to her standards of clean lol

Re: preparing for family?

  • Clean as much as you can the day before they come, but out of town guests will usually understand things won't be perfect! It's a loveable, lived-in home!

  • LOL I feel like I live in a kennel....or a small zoo....
  • Ugh I know what you mean. I still have tons of boxes to unpack or decide home for them before our rehearsal dinner at our house in a week. I'll be doing lots of cleaning this weekend I think.

  • I have been deep cleaning for 2 days! No joke, hands and knees, floor boards, wiping down light switches, etc. I keep a very clean house but it needed the extra OCD moment. FI GM comes in today from FL and on the 12th my BM from LA is coming to stay with her boyfriend. Im sending the kids away next week so it will lessen the craziness of so many people in our town house. But we went grocery shopping, I have planned the meals from today-the wedding, every bathroom has new towels hung up, extra toiletries, new sheets, etc. So I feel like everything is clean enough for guests to actually stay. Now if I could only come home to the house looking like this after the honeymoon. My brother will most likely stay here to house sit and feed our cat while we are away from the 15-18th
