I love you suggestion about prep throughout the day. I’ve been doing that yesterday and today to get ready for guests today and tomorrow and it makes all the difference! I hope you’ve had a great time with all of you guests!

we have had visitors for dinner every night this week so far. i have really enjoyed it and have managed to keep the stress to a minimum by doing a little bit of prep throughout the whole day. chopping veggies at 9am and sticking them in the fridge for later. it makes cooking a lot easier, and i feel like i can actually visit with people.
all that said-making a peaceful home is definitely a mind set that i am still working on and praying about.
