data-wpel-link="internal">How to Prep Your Home for the Holidays</a></h2> <div class="excerpt-excerpt"> <p>Ready or not, ’tis the season for celebrations and gatherings aplenty! Also known as, my very favorite time of year. From impromptu guests popping in for holiday cocktails to full fledged dinners complete with the in-laws, chances are your house sees more action over the last couple months of the year than the rest of the year combined. We entertain at least a couple times a month all year long and even for us the holiday season is bustling. To help you get you ready for all that merriment, today I’ve teamed up with BISSELL聽to share my tips for how to prep your home for the holidays! After years of always scrambling and feeling stressed when friends and family were set to arrive, I’ve finally settled on a handful of habits that make opening our home to loved ones feel so much more enjoyable. Have anything to add to the list?

It’s almost a little crazy just how happy a big bunch of blooms in the center of the dining room table or tucked on the mantle can make me. Now that the snow is finally gone and the screen doors have been opened up, flowers around the house really drives home that spring vibe and they make me insanely happy. I get a lot of questions from friends about how I take care of cut flowers and I’ve shared them before here, but it seemed like a good time to revisit my favorite easy tips for how to keep flowers fresh, alive and perky for as long as possible. Any other tricks you can share with me?

When we’re in the area we usually have a long shopping list of stuff we want to stock up on (we love their coffee and I’m crazy about the dried baby sweet pineapple), but we only make it there every month or two. Instead, I do our daily shopping at Aldi. I just started shopping there regularly less than a year ago and since then, I’ve become a huge fan. I think Aldi has a bit of a weird, mixed bag reputation (even though it’s owned by the brother of the guy who founded Trader Joe’s), which is why I kind of always avoided the place. The truth is, they have some incredible stuff at really unbelievable prices.</p> </div> <a href="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/2017/04/aldi-shopping-guide/" class="button article-read-more" data-wpel-link="internal"> Read More<span class="screen-reader-text"> about My Aldi Favorites Shopping Guide</span> </a> </div> </div> </article> <article class="article excerpt"> <div class="excerpt-container"> <div class="excerpt-photo"> <a href="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/2017/01/my-favorite-day-designer-planner/" class="excerpt-link" title="My Favorite Planner for Getting Organized in 2017" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" data-wpel-link="internal"><figure class="post-thumbnail"><style>img#mv-trellis-img-4::before{padding-top:133.33333333333%; }img#mv-trellis-img-4{display:block;}</style><noscript><img src="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Day-Designer-Review-2-240x320.jpg" srcset="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Day-Designer-Review-2-240x320.jpg 240w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Day-Designer-Review-2-400x533.jpg 400w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Day-Designer-Review-2-546x728.jpg 546w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Day-Designer-Review-2-360x480.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 599px) 300px, 270px" style="display: block" class="size-mv_trellis_3x4_low_res size-ratio-mv_trellis_3x4_low_res wp-image-44389" alt="Best Planners for 2017 | Day Designer Review from @cydconverse" height="320" width="240"></noscript><img src="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Day-Designer-Review-2-240x320.jpg.webp" srcset="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Day-Designer-Review-2-240x320.jpg.webp 240w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Day-Designer-Review-2-400x533.jpg.webp 400w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Day-Designer-Review-2-546x728.jpg.webp 546w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Day-Designer-Review-2-360x480.jpg.webp 360w" sizes="(max-width: 599px) 300px, 270px" style="display: block" class="size-mv_trellis_3x4_low_res size-ratio-mv_trellis_3x4_low_res wp-image-44389 lazyload" alt="Best Planners for 2017 | Day Designer Review from @cydconverse" height="320" width="240" data-pin-media="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Day-Designer-Review-2.jpg" id="mv-trellis-img-4" loading="lazy" data-trellis-processed="1"></figure></a> </div> <div class="excerpt-post-data"> <h2 class="excerpt-title"><a href="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/2017/01/my-favorite-day-designer-planner/" class="excerpt-link" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" data-wpel-link="internal">My Favorite Planner for Getting Organized in 2017</a></h2> <div class="excerpt-excerpt"> <p>Friends, let’s talk about planners!
