One of my very favourite magazines is Real Simple, and for so many reasons! It is filled with so many little things to help you around the house, or new uses for old things, etc. that I always like to share with my family and friends, and the latest issue (February 2011) is no exception!
In particular, this month there is a page called 'Life Lessons' (p. 50) and there is one excerpt that I want share.....
1. Your house is USUALLY a disaster area
'The next time you entertain, don't pretend that your place always looks perfect. It's as annoying as a stick-thin model saying she eats like a horse. If someone compliments your home, be honest and say "I've spent the last two days cleaning up. You have no idea what was behind that side board!" It's impossible to keep it together at all times.
Wouldn't you rather be friends with someone who owns up to their imperfections? I know I would.'
You may ask, why this excerpt, Kellie? Well, simply because that is me in a nutshell! I LOVE to entertain and host dinner parties or 'Rockband' nights, but I'm always stressing out, trying to pretend I'm the best house-keeper, HA! Far from it!
So, here I am, I'm "coming clean" about what my house USUALLY looks like!
Please, just don't 'pop by' for a visit to see it in person.
