I just saw the parfaits and want to try them but not sure How Many the receipe makes ?
I’m not a great housekeeper as gardening is more important, BUT at the same time not comfortable if company comes unexpected (even family) and the house is messy or cluttered.

We have some friends that pop over 2 or 3 times a month. Sometimes they stay for hours, sometimes only a few minutes. Sometimes it starts with just the husband and son, then maybe one of the daughters stops by and then the mom. One time I opened the door and it was their nephew! That has really helped me get used to not having a perfect house. I love these friends like my family. At the same time, I have had parties (usually just family) where I will tell certain neat freaks that they can only use particular restrooms because that was all I had time to clean. Life is too short to not enjoy the people in your life. Sandy, thanks for all of your inspiration and ideas!

In reply to Kim | Just For Clicks. Thanks, Kim. The MacKenzie-Childs Courtly Check pattern is my favorite, too! Thanks for your words on when "life happens." Eyes off ourselves, and on to others is key! :)

In reply to Bevy @ Treasured Up and Pondered. So true, entertaining is like a muscle. The more you do it, the more comfortable you are. Doing it over and over ... great words and scripture!

In reply to Natalie @ Tastes Lovely.

Natalie, it really has taught me a lot, when people pop in and I’m not prepared. We can’t always be prepared, but it’s how we handle it, let our guard down (in a way), and quickly come up with a plan. And let the “stuff” that doesn’t really matter – go! :) Thanks for sharing!
