Welcome Visitors! It's V Day. And my house is the cleanest when I have visitors coming. So come on over for a visit. Just give me some advanced warning...
Why I love to have VISITORS (once in a while.)
- As I said before, the house is cleaner - things get extra scrubbing when visitors are coming like the microwave, the basement, the dog...
- I get to try out new recipes - I like following recipes (and improvising) especially on an appreciative audience of visitors!
- Visitors are more appreciative than the local denizens - ah, I just said that, but it's a definite bonus. they notice the cleanliness and effort of being a hostess (and mom)
- We do more fun stuff with visitors - we do touristy things, we go to movies, we eat out, and we play games - yay!
- My family usually behaves better when visitors are around.
- My puppy gets more attention, which he deserves.
- I love to catch up, visitors bring interesting conversations - not much of that around my house full of closed-mouthed (yet loud and obnoxious) boys!

Do you do anything special when you're expecting visitors?

My house is always cleanest when company comes, too. And my cat loves it because she gets a lot of attention. My dogs tend not to care too much.
ReplyDeletereally? your cat likes attention and the dogs don't? huh!
Deletemy dad walks my dog so he loves it when he's around!
I do love having visitors, which is a rare occasion. The house is usually tidy (there can be no excuse, it's just me and my husband)but I love to get baking and preparing lovely things to offer. We entertain a lot more during the summer which is great. It's time for summer now. I'm fed up of these wintery, lonesome days. Great post!!
ReplyDeletei'm fed up with winter too - time to tear off the coccoon and fly! yay for summer, company and travel (i like to BE a visitor too!)
DeleteI agree! Visitors are nice from time to time and definitely help us get back on track for cleaning! Plus there is always tons of delicious leftovers!

yay for leftovers!!
DeleteDon't get visitors staying but we do have visitors i.e. friends over for dinner which is always a fun time.
ReplyDeletei hope when the kids are gone we have friends over - just me and the hub will be pretty boring!
DeleteWhen maintenance falls a bit behind, I always say, "It's time to have visitors or we have to move." That fixes thing right away. . .and we have visitors, too.
ReplyDeleteLee, you keep using a move as an alternative! you're cracking me up!
Deletemaintenance and wall hangings get taken care of before visitors arrive at our house too!
Like you, I hate unexpected visitors ... so does my kitten, Midnight, for him it is hump the old back and hiss time! Thanks for visiting my blog where unexpected visitors are always welcome! :-)
