You guys! Thanksgiving is next week. Which basically means Christmas is tomorrow. When you have guests coming, preparing your home can feel overwhelming. Suddenly the dingy baseboards that you've happily ignored make you hang your head in shame. I was chatting with my girlfriends about how they clean their home for guests and one quipped- "it depends. Is my mother-in-law coming?" #truth. One way to make it more manageable is to add just a couple of tasks to your weekly routine. Start this week or next and you're finished by Christmas! Side note: I share this as someone who struggles with housekeeping. I don't have it all together friends! But having a plan in place gives me peace and motivation to tackle my to-do list! I'm sharing my 4 week plan, a simple cleaning hack, a free printable cleaning checklist, and place setting inspiration (because that's just fun).
