Thinking about the holidays and the memories of the previous years just makes me smile. It’s often those things that don’t go as planned that make the day the most special. Let’s face it…if the day went by without a hitch, it would be a boring day! Those little hiccups and blunders are what make the day the most fun!

I am sure like many of you, I work very hard to get my house just perfect before my guests arrive. I clean for days and threaten my children with loss of limb if they dare mess up all my work–tee hee. But why?

I always pull out the Windex® and wipe down both sides of the glass on my front door to ensure it’s shiny and clean only to have my family completely destroy it as soon as they arrive!

I have a doorbell, but you know someone will tap on the glass instead of pushing that doorbell button. Then of course my mom will start kissing the glass when she comes up to the door and sees the boys…you know because she can’t wait two seconds to get in and actually kiss their faces. That’s all in addition to all the lovely fingerprints that the kids will leave because at my house children under 10 just don’t believe in using napkins!

front-doorBut like every year before, I will pull out the  Windex® and clean both sides of that door again this year in preparation for my family. Then I’ll smile as I get the chance to wipe away all those sweet, sticky memories once they leave again!
