How can I release my inner neat-freak and enjoy having people over?

My guy and I work from home -- well, I work from home, he works from the shop in the barn behind our house, and it's SUPER awesome. People drop by all the time, and it's not unusual to have folks over 3-7 nights a week (people stay over 1-3 nights a week). I come from a pretty traditional background and a clean freak mom so having an open house like this REALLY stressed me out, because I wanted the house to be clean and have snacks out etc. I've relaxed my standards significantly and now I'm wondering what kind of life-hacks I should be using to be prepared for guests?

  1. Yes to the portable steamer! Not all items can be ironed, and usually you don’t find out your shirt is wrinkled until after that steamy shower. This is one of those small little things people might not think about unless they are a frequent traveler.
