I love the coffee idea. As a bit of a coffee fiend, I always miss it when I’m away. I love it when people keep up their regular schedule and let me know what it is (both as a guest and a host) so I can plan accordingly.

A few other things in people’s rooms that are appreciated:
*pad of paper and pens
*transit maps (if they don’t have a vehicle)
*garbage can

In the guest washroom, I usually have a small pill bottle of tylenol and some antihistamines in case they feel under the weather… it helps to not have to announce to everyone that you have a headache!

also, in the big group situation, doing lots of meal prep ahead of time, will free you up to actually spend time with your guests!

“almost offered to have her sleep in with me and put my husband on the lounge!”

I’ve actually done this… fortunately I have a very understanding husband!

I have learned some things the hard way: My husband had a college buddy come visit, and the same day Friend arrived, Husband sprained his ankle, leaving me to entertain Friend. awesome. I knew Friend some, and he is a very laid-back, flexible guy, but I learned it’s always a good idea to have a backup plan.

Fast forward to last New Year’s, when 12 of us come together every year from across the country. Last year was our turn to host since I was 8 months pregnant and knew we wouldn’t be able to attend unless we hosted. We packed them into our little house, and I planned ahead for meals and a few loose activties. It went SO well! Almost everyone told me that that year was the best one yet! A little planning can go a long way!

We’ll see what happens this year, since there will be three new little ones and a new spouse added to our growing group!

I have dreams of being a gracious hostess, but I feel like my attempts are one step above a shaddy Motel 6. Because of space issues (we have 7 children), our guests usually get a fairly nice queen sized air mattress.

I put a heated mattress pad on it to help warm all the frigid air inside. Even though there is a laughable “pillowtop” it still gets cold.

Maybe if I put a little gift basket with Tylenol PM tucked inside, my guests would wake up looking refreshed.
