The temperature has been rising this summer, which may also mean you have lots of friends or relatives coming over, especially if you have a pool. Here are some tips to make sure your home is always ready for unexpected arrivals.

Make sure your refrigerator is stocked. You don’t want to be running to the store the last minute because you don’t have any drinks or food for your guests. Fresh fruit is always great to have for the summer!

Check that your grill is ready to go at any time. In that stocked freezer make sure you always have something you can throw on the grill.  It is an easy and delicious way to serve your guests.

Always keep your bathroom clean and bright for summer. Bright colors can help to bring some of summer into your home.

Be sure to have sunscreen and bug spray on hand at all times. Especially if some of your guests are kids. People can be very forgetful, so it is always best to be prepared!

Finally, don’t neglect the living room or any area you spend time in with guests. Even if it is a beautiful day outside, you never know when some bad weather might hit so keep this area tidy just in case.
