And it usually doens't happen until another guest comes over! (Don't tell anyone)<br /><br />My husband works so hard all day (I do too, but I'm home most of the time) so I think this challenge is great. And will definitely pay off for everyone involved. :)Heather McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988242340910335381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212416519726161477.post-65126223189650899412009-10-23T11:25:00.134-04:002009-10-23T11:25:00.134-04:00This is the best!

I went outside and looked at my front porch. Ew. Cobwebs in the corners by the door. Chipped stucco around the door frame. Leaves and dirt that the lawn guy blew by the door. No welcome sign or cute wreath. Just a naked door.<br /><br />Hmm. Must do a make-over. The front door area is the first thing our guests see and I need to give it some TLC! Thank you for the inspiration.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Marie<br />http://emmacallsmemama.comMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04189542891027262056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212416519726161477.post-87818573600570343392009-10-19T23:57:49.583-04:002009-10-19T23:57:49.583-04:00What a great reminder to treat our family as nicel...What a great reminder to treat our family as nicely as we do guests!

I'm so bad at this, especially being pregnant, I'm so tired by the time my husband gets home! <br /><br />But someone I admire once said that if we stay at home during the day, we should be there at the crossroads of our family's life and make the home a haven by letting them (children, spouse, etc) know that when they come home or leave the house, someone who is there caring about the daily issues they are faced with. <br /><br />I also remember reading someone mention that a husband who works outside the home (this could apply to a wife who works outside the home) should take a few minutes in the car before they come in, to gather their thoughts, put work behind them, and put a smile on their face....ready to face their loving but also tired/hungry family.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14964368243113634718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212416519726161477.post-9743817600511792692009-10-19T13:47:42.631-04:002009-10-19T13:47:42.631-04:00I'm excited to get started.
