Last Minute Party Preparations

I always joke that the better the party I throw, the worse I look when my guests show up. I’ve gotten better at getting ready way in advance so I don’t look like a madwoman. However, I do have a little routine I go through before the party starts. Even though I make sure the house is clean the day before, right before the guests begin showing up, I will do a quick “walk through.” Basically, I pretend I am a guest in my own home. I try to think about what would make people more comfortable and then go around sprucing things up.

The HOLIDAY SEASON Is Coming, Are You Ready?

Thanksgiving Day! {l-r} Me, my Elizabeth, Kristin my niece and Stephanie my sister. 

We have begun that wild ride. The slippery slope into the 2012 Holiday Season. You can either ride it with joy and ease or frustration and difficulty. I choose EASE my friends and with ease comes a very relaxed joyful holiday season. Planning ahead can help alleviate some of the stress that accompanies this very exciting but busy time of the year. Guaranteeing you stress free quality time with your family. Time to sit back and cherish those  memorable moments with your family and friends.....and shouldn't that be the very heart of our holiday season?
