Friends called to say they're coming by, but your house is a mess. Kansas City home stagers Judy Baier and Becky Beyer tell you how to whip it into shape before the doorbell rings.
Prioritize Tackle obvious messes in the rooms where guests will gather. "First impressions are important," says Beyer, so get rid of jackets tossed on chairs and newspapers strewn on the table. Load the dishwasher.
Delegate Have your husband do a quick vacuum of high-traffic areas, while your kids pick up stray toys.
Refresh Use wipes to quickly clean and deodorize bathrooms. Hang fresh towels.
Welcome Keep prepackaged cookie dough on hand and pop a tray in the oven before your guests arrive. Your home will smell delicious and you'll have a sweet treat to offer your friends.

What an exciting game!

Kelsey's club team won their tournament yesterday. The final game was the most exciting. They found themselves 11 points behind. Somehow, someway they managed to work their way up, and won the game 27 to 25! Kelsey had the winning serve...that was so exciting! They worked so hard all day. They played 8 games in pool play, and then 4 games in tournament play. Needless to say they were so exhausted....but they played so well!
