My house isn't atrocious, but it isn't exactly the way I would like it either. Sometimes you have to let go of a little 'control' for sanity sake... and proper sleep. :)Amy Weismannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919834717469715260.post-54501870647902391362012-07-19T11:51:43.386-05:002012-07-19T11:51:43.386-05:00This is an awesome post idea!!

Although I was mostly A's, there were some B's and a few C's... HELP! LOL!! Seriously... I do it every time and I would do it again... However, I wish I would get just as motivated just for me, when I come home.

My guys would all scatter only to hear me calling them moments later to help. Then it just hit me a few years ago. The people that come to our home know who we are and how we live so that craziness had to go. So now I tidy up which is a whole lot different that before.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12248035740558008422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919834717469715260.post-48386118038835793202012-07-15T08:52:46.794-05:002012-07-15T08:52:46.794-05:00I'm the kind of hostess who rushes around the ...I'm the kind of hostess who rushes around the house, to make it look pretty! And I take extra care to make sure the bathroom smells nice. Then I pull out my pretty tea cups I found at the thrift shop, and make sure the house smells welcoming and of coffee.<br /><br />When my guest comes I offer them a nice cup of coffee, and then I start talking with them and forget to play the hostess…So I start out great, and then I kind of forget.Momfeverhttp://www.momfever.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919834717469715260.post-79343333752821284152012-07-13T21:39:12.597-05:002012-07-13T21:39:12.597-05:00Melanie, for the razzle dazzle I'd have to hav...Melanie, for the razzle dazzle I'd have to have a complete home renovation! Last minute is often best, because if it's last minute, it's probably someone you know too well to care about impressing.

She had a gorgeous, well make that seriously clean, home, but I used to cry if I spilled anything, because she'd FREAK OUT. How's that for hospitality?Keeshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861445436771770144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919834717469715260.post-36677451621426748072012-07-13T09:33:47.795-05:002012-07-13T09:33:47.795-05:00Love it!

C'mon in and don't trip over the dog. Are you a work acquaintance of the hubs? Shit, I have been cleaning all day and hope you don't look under a couch cushion that I just realized as you sat, I haven't cleaned under since 1968. I want you to feel at home. I only cook a tried and true, simple, no frills meals. I have actually gotten where I prefer to entertain at the last minute so that I can't treat my family like they are in a prison camp. I like a last minute wine and cheese on my patio, weather permitting, of course. This way I can't screw up the recipe, don't make excuses for any clutter in my den and there is supposed to be dust outside, right? Also, I always start having wine before the guest arrive so that I am more relaxed and according to my better half, lovable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14705475390314220479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919834717469715260.post-71174792048249434512012-07-12T22:42:30.216-05:002012-07-12T22:42:30.216-05:00Awesome!

I find that the perfect home makes guests too uncomfortable - they don't want to mess things up.

I feel like C, am pretty much an A (or would be if I had some Lexapro) and have given up on being B, although I'd like to be, which is the trouble... <br />Off to check out your site!Keeshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861445436771770144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919834717469715260.post-242788502462065112012-07-10T13:48:59.259-05:002012-07-10T13:48:59.259-05:00I felt like that recently, lol.

I had a play date at my house and I had just finished cleaning out closets which meant that my house really did look like some wild boars had run through it. I am sure my family thought that I was running on border line cruelty, making them work their fingers to the bone. <br />Anyway, I got a kick out of your quiz, I got mostly A's, but had a few B's which speaks to my perfectionism and a C which speaks to my disorganization, can those two go together? Well, in my world they do! LOL<br />www.thetriplebs.comCarmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01806774673828734697noreply@blogger.com
