I host one every Christmas for the kids in the neighborhood. We do a book exchange and Santa usually visits too. We are up to 18 kids now in our group. God help me! 18 little ones running around in my small house! Of course they do not care about dust or how clean the house is, but the parents attend too, so I clean, clean, clean. I stick to the rooms that will be seen though. The clutter usually gets gathered up and shut in my bedroom for the day!<br />Thanks for the recipes! Can't wait to try them!nateandkatesmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10552375548528467044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-85621715516998009942009-12-07T20:32:19.688-05:002009-12-07T20:32:19.688-05:00Thanks for the post as always I love what you have...Thanks for the post as always I love what you have to share with us!

I call (your 20-minute plan) my "15-minute cleanup." You're right. It is the best thing ever to set the timer and know you have to move on to the next room when the timer goes off. I clear the clutter first (but I don't put it away--I just put it in a pile or box for distribution to other rooms later) then I determine the most important thing that needs to be done in that room--begin with that and then I continue to zoom as fast as I can. Music helps a lot too. It's an adrenaline thing. I like to try to beat the clock. ;) If it doesn't get finished it's ok--at least I know that someone can arrive at my front door and I won't die of embarrassment! I don't know where I learned the idea from but I'm with you. IT WORKS!!!Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05692521530988353042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-40460399692275865232009-12-07T16:01:47.127-05:002009-12-07T16:01:47.127-05:00Thank you for the recipes!!

I just might give those pinwheels a whirl this Christmas. :) I had no idea they are so easy to make!<br /><br />We hosted my daughter's 4th bday party on Saturday, and will have all of our family (plus my SIL's fam) over on Christmas Eve. I'd love to do more, but the funds for entertaining just aren't there this year. I used to do ALL the cooking for our Christmas Eve dessert/appetizer party, but with two little ones and Christmas morning to get ready for, I just can't anymore. We make it a potluck and it's so much fun, and yes I do stress about the cleaning!!! :)<br /><br />Stop by if you can...my 1 Year Blogiversary/Christmas Giveaway is on today. :)Amanda @ Serenity Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483017563206007698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-38816022439756951662009-12-07T15:42:02.933-05:002009-12-07T15:42:02.933-05:00Thanks so much for the great recipes!
