Tidy Up Important Areas

There are a few key choice areas that you will probably want to make sure you are keeping on top of if you are keen to make sure your home is ready for any guests.

Freshen The Air

It’s the little touches that can often make the biggest difference when it comes to making your home guest-ready, and a good example of that is when you are able to keep the air fresh. Any way you can do this, whether you do it with an air freshener or with plants and an open window, it’s going to really help to make the space that much more welcoming, and you will find it’s great to have done things this way. It is therefore going to help you to feel a lot prouder about your home as well.

Stock Up On Essentials

It’s really important you don’t let any of the essentials get forgotten about. For instance, there are going to be lots of toiletries that you need to consider, and you need to make sure you have these in stock before your guests come. Likewise with snacks and drinks, and really anything that is going to make it more of a home for your guests. Get all this ready as early on as possible and it will really help a great deal.

    It’s too stressful for me to be a houseguest anymore; I’d rather spend the day with my friends and then go to a hotel for everyone’s peace of mind.

    These are some great reminders for when you have guests coming to stay with you. I too love putting fresh cut flowers throughout the house also tons of different things to drink like sparking water etc.

If you're looking for a Bible that helps you under If you're looking for a Bible that helps you understand your identity in Christ and God’s purpose for your life, the *Life in Christ Bible* is a must-have! 🙏📖 As someone who's recently been diving deeper into Bible study, I’ve found this Bible incredibly insightful and inspiring.

✨ One of my favorite parts is how it emphasizes that our value comes from who we are in God’s eyes, not from what we do. Each book begins with a helpful intro—key details like date, main idea, and a timeline outline make everything easy to follow.

❤️ Plus, the words of Jesus are written in red, and I love the "I Am" sidebars with extra insights and cross-references for deeper study.

And can we talk about the quotes from Charles Spurgeon and the historical charts?! 🙌 They really help put the New Testament into a broader context. Oh, and the maps at the back are a visual treat for anyone who, like me, loves seeing the geographical routes and locations come to life.

This Bible has been a game-changer for my spiritual growth, and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to deepen their faith. 💙

I am not normally a coffee drinker at all but when I am not normally a coffee drinker at all but when I do it is always hot coffee. I rarely, if ever, drink iced coffee. There is just something about it that rubs me the wrong way.

What about you? Which do you prefer?
