[quote=Anonymous]I don't mind having people over but I used to kill myself cleaning and cooking (and I am pretty clean to begin with.) Once I had kids, I finally relaxed. I went from crazy cleaning for guests to just "tidy up." My DH is great and he always scrubs down the powder room before company but other than that we have learned to relax. I also try to make a dinner that is done early to pick-up kitchen and run dishwasher - like a baked enchilada dish, salad, etc. In the summer, make the salads early and then grill something. That helps a lot too. The only reason I hated/hate having people over is all the kids. Someone won't eat, or dragging food around, crying, etc. But now that everyone is older, we can feed them first and they will do the WII or go outside. The younger years with all the kids around can make entertaining hard. I am a homebody so love to be at home; it is not large but very, warm and inviting and people always tell us they love coming to our house because it feels so warm. I don't have a lot of talents so that makes me feel good. The person who said to go out and at home is dull....we never show photo albums. We talk with our friends. I find it is very hard to do that in a restaurant because it is so loud.[/quote]
