5 Simple Ways to Prepare for Overnight House Guests!

Robert’s parents are coming into town from Texas next week, so it’s time to get our guest room ready. Apart from giving the sheets a fresh wash and removing all the fur from our cat’s favorite room in the house, here are 5 lovely ways to prepare and make a house guest feel extra welcomed!

 

1) Water Bedside.

A lovely little nicety is to take mason jars, fill them with water, close them up, and place them bedside. This way your guest has an easy go to glass right from the start and doesn’t need to search your cabinets if you don’t happen to be nearby!

2) Collection of Toiletries.

Between hotel stays and flights we’ve all accumulated a lot of travel size toiletries. An awesome way to put them to use, is to get a little canister and collect them up for your guests. Sometimes when staying at someone’s house, it slips your mind to pack the basics that you might find at a hotel.

3) Rid the Room of Unwanted Guests.

Ok, so our guest room opens right up to our backyard. Plus the room gets the least amount of traffic. So this combo often leads to unwanted crawling and flying guests! So before we have guests over, whether they are staying for the week or just coming for a party, I use Zevo Instant Action Sprays to rid our home of any crawling or flying bugs. This is seriously the Best Indoor bug spray line I have found, because it’s safe to use around Pets and People! Its active ingredients are cinnamon oil, lemongrass oil, and geraniol, unlike the synthetic pyrethroid chemicals that you find in other insect killers. It also has such a light scent you don’t need to leave the room after you spray. And it can be used in any room of your home on any hard surface! I’ll admit it, when I first heard that Zevo used “effective essential oils instead of butane and propane propellants” I was skeptical it would do the job. But I’m here to testify, it certainly does the job and I don’t have to be freaked out about the girls being in the house when I spray! There are 4 varieties of sprays that run the gamut of taking care of ants, cockroaches, fruit flies, or stinging insects. Their bio-science formula quickly paralyzes and kills bugs by targeting a nervous system receptor only active in bugs, and not active in people or pets.

I’m resisting writing 10 more paragraphs right here telling you all the reasons why you’ll want to have Zevo under your kitchen sink ready to be drawn out at the first glimpse of a bug, so you can head to www.zevoinsect.com to learn more and purchase the sprays! Moving on…

4) Put out Towels.

As a guest you never know the history of towels you find in the bathroom or who they belong to. So just place some towels ready to go on their bed. Plus it won’t leave you scurrying around the house to find clean towels when they ask to take a shower!

5) Snack Basket.

Maybe I’ve hung around toddlers too much, but I’m a snack addict! And when I’m staying at someone else’s house I never want to raid their cabinets. So I think it’s so lovely to have some easily accessible snacks waiting in your guestroom!

….well now that I read over this list I think this is actually what I want done daily in my room. Robert should really get on top of that getting my nighttime water and snack basket ready thing! 😉
