A Visit
As much as possible, I think it is great to have close friends and family visit with your kids. It helps to broaden their circle and makes them feel loved.
I try not to worry too much if the house looks perfectly clean (because it never does), but rather choose to focus on welcoming, visiting, and laughing. I promise you, everyone else has dust at their house too…just open your doors to loved ones who wants to hug your kiddos.
