* Special thanks to my guest blogger Alex Berger for writing up this holiday blog post*
1. Stock The Pantry
First of all, take note of who is comming. Do you know thier likes and dislikes? If so, go ahead and stock the pantry and fridge with the things they prefer. If you do not know what they enjoy, go ahead and ask them. The reason that I always love to stock the pantry before my guests arrive is for a few reasons- 1) Having food in the house saves you from having the awkward "what are we going to eat" talk. 2) Having things they like already stocked makes them feel more at home and gives them something to snack on between meals, just in case they get hungry. Last but not least, 3) Extra food during the holidays=better.
2. Exterior Cleaning
When your guest pulls up to your home, what is the first thing they will see? Let me give you a hint: it's your exterior. While some of them won't care, you know that you have at least a few friends and family members that do judge on the exterior of your home. Plus, isn't it nice to have a great looking exterior? Not only will it make you feel better about your home, but a well kept exterior will most definitely help you when it comes time to sell your home and it also boosts the home values of the houses around you. Keeping a clean exterior has many perks, trust me!
In Florida, there is a company called ZAP Cleaning and they can help you with your exterior cleaning needs such as pressure washing, house washing, roof cleaning, and window cleaning. They serve the Sarasota area, including but not limited to Venice, Nokomis, Laurel, North Sarasota, North Naples, Bee Ridge, Osprey, North Port, Vamo, and more.

3. Decorate
Decorating is one of my favorite parts of the holidays, that's for sure, and when it comes to having holiday guests in town, decorating is essential. Brighten up your home with lights and other decor options and when they pull up, it will immediately lift thier spirits (especially after a long car ride!) and get them in the mood to celebrate one of the most fun times of the year!
4. Shop in Advance
When you are shopping for actual gifts for the holidays, do it ahead of time so that you are not scrambling at the last minute. This allows you to really focus on the gift of spending time with your family once the holidays roll around and not on the copious amounts of people that are standing in line with you at Sephora or TJMaxx. This also allows you to focus on keeping them happy at home instead fo leaving them to get your last minute shopping trip out of the way.
5. Furnace Check Up
I'm not sure about you, but one of my biggest fears is having the furnace go out during the cool winter months. Now, I know that it doesn't get freezing in Florida, but it still has the potential to get cool here and there and wouldn't it just be the worst to have a cool/cold night while your guests are in town only to find out that you do not have working heat? Save yourself the trouble and get your furnace checked out before your guests arrive. Also, if for any reason your furnance does go out on you, I also recommned stocking your guest room with plenty of blankets and other cozy essentials!

One of the top benefits holiday home owners talk about is the increased quantity and quality of family time they get. Having a place to go to get away from it all with an abundance of activities on tap can only be a good thing for busy families. At vakantiehuis dordogne you will find your holiday home dordogne.

ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for sharing this article. I must say that this blog is worth reading. Your guests must visit your home during vacations and it's your duty to keep it clean so that they can appreciate your efforts in maintaining it well. This blog really inspires me to have a clean home. Last week I got my windows cleaned by AdelCo Home Services and I must say they provide the best class Window Cleaning North Vancouver services. Avail their service once and you will call them again and again.

ReplyDeleteI have never considered washing a house from the outside but you are right. I will be hosting my cousin´s wedding next month and I think that my home might need some professional washing on the outside. After all, it is a party and everything should look shiny. I have never considered that it is also important for its maintenance so thanks for sharing. https://diamondclean.ca/exterior-house-pressure-washing/
ReplyDeleteyou need to be aware of what it's like on the inside and the outside of your home during your roof replacement. If you and your pet can handle the loud banging and you plan on avoiding the gutter line around your home then maybe staying home during your replacement can work for you. Roofing

The very first time, I hired Window Cleaning Vancouver Service as referred by my friend. I just made the appointment over the phone. The team that came were very professional and carried advanced tools and equipment. They did the job within no time and left the windows sparkling. Now, I am going to hire them for my Office windows.
