Is Your House Ready for Company? A Housecleaning Plan

When throwing a party, hosting an event, or simply having a single guest in your home, making sure your house is clean becomes a top priority. Hospitality, and being a gracious hostess when pre-planned, comes more naturally. But, when unexpected guests arrive at the door, unless you are in the habit of always keeping your home clean, you may have had to shove clutter into closets and kick the dirty laundry under the beds as you frantically race to the front door to answer the bell! At that point, having a spirit of hospitality and graciousness can quickly become more of a challenge!
