It's PARTYTIME!

Want to get "Monday Madness"? Just follow this link: http://mmadness.blogspot.com/

1. When is the last time you planned for a party/social gathering at your house? Last Monday (Memorial Day). We had a "cook-out" for my family and "The Hubby"'s brother's family. We have a tiny house, but it was fun!

2. What type of event was it? Very informal. Hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans, chips, drinks. All served buffet-style. YUM! (Being vegetarian, I had a veggie burger...YUM!)

3. Do you enjoy hosting parties at your house, or do you find the preparation stressful? BOTH! It's stressful sometimes because we have such a tiny house(we live in a condo)and I'm always afraid there won't be enough room. However, this coziness is part of the "charm"of our home, I think.

4. Do you tend to have a lot more food than needed for these events, or are you pretty good about estimating how much to serve? We always make more than is needed so the men will have "lunch" the following week. By the weekend, I am sure they're tired of grilled hamburgers, hot dogs and baked beans!

5. Some people have gatherings at their homes on a regular basis because it forces them to really CLEAN. How do you feel about this? Well, I have a daily housekeeping schedule. If an event falls on the weekend (which it usually does) all my housecleaning is usually done. If there is something that needs "special" attention, I try to do a "little bit along" so it won't overwhelm me. I don't try to do more than usual, because I want my loved ones to see my home as it normally is...a little "strode", but otherwise clean.

Now, I hafta go wash my bedclothes....CHEERS!
Happy Monday, ALL!

I totally agree with you on keeping the house tidy and clean. Ive become a bit lazy though, but I make sure I clean and mop once a week :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week ahead!
