Holiday Recyle

  • Don’t discount small savings. DIY your cards, reuse old gift bags, or turn old newspapers into wrapping paper. It’s what’s inside that counts.

Outside the Box

Baby Blues Comic Strip for November 27, 2022
Let’s think outside the card box and have some fun. Let’s dig back though pictures that show our happiest times- when we were jumping in water, running across lawns, piled together on the sofa and all shouting “cheese!” Let’s throw crayons on the table and pull-out paint so artist imagination can go wild. Let’s picture the people we love walking out to their mailboxes and being greeted with written words that make them smile. What should go into those messages? Musing s of all the things that have transpired over the past year. Updates on who has taken up a new milestone, one on an exciting adventure, or hit a new milestone. For anyone who’s not quite sure what to share, maybe a favorite poem or collection of words that have been powerful over the past year will hit the right note. Let’s choose envelopes no one is expecting. Let’s sprinkle confetti. Let’s add sprigs of mistletoe. Let’s spread holiday cheer near and far with considerations. With intention. Let’s do it with Love

Etiquette Lessons: Guest Edition

What is the etiquette after sleeping in someone’s guest bed? My rule is to leave it as nice as I found it, which means making the bed. However, assuming (and hoping!) everyone washes bedding after each guest, I often wonder if I should pile the sheets nicely on the bed. Would that be helpful or presumptuous. –

This made me laugh, as it is an ongoing issue I have every time I spend a night at anyone’s house, particularly Abby’s. She is all for stripping the bed, which is good etiquette because clearly if a guest leaves you should wash the linen and prepare the bed for the next guest. The issue in my home is I prefer for guests not to strip the bed. They are not the help, they are guests. My procedure after a guest has gone is to strip the bed down, wash the linen, and mattress cover, and place them in the linen closet. The bed only gets remade before a guest arrives. I think everyone deserves fresh dust free linen. How do you deal with linen on the bed as a guest and a hostess?
