With the excitement of moving into our new home in a few weeks, there's pretty much an unspoken rule that any point in time, someone will be coming over! Luckily, I have two little toddlers who sure make a lot of noise when someone comes in the driveway which can give me about a minute or two to put a few things away, toss dirty dishes into the dishwasher and go great them at the front door.
1. Stock Up On Snacks - To ensure you have a few things to serve your guests, keep a stash of nonperishable snacks that require little to no prep. Chips and crackers, canned salsa and dried meats are always a great idea to put a simple meat and cheese board together. For a fun touch, I love having slice-and-bake chocolate chip cookies that are easy to cut and throw in the oven! I also have seasonal coffee creamer to make those that are coming out of town or needing some long over do girl time feel welcome.
2. Pick Up Clutter - Having a plan to organize clutter can really help you save time when visitors decide to show up in a few minutes time. I'll have a few storage bins on hand to throw everything from old magazines to toys that are taking over my living room. These things are easy to just throw under the bed and take out again after guests have finished.
