Ah, summertime. It's a great time for hosting visitors, especially if like me you have a country home (really, it's our year-round house in suburban New Jersey but I like the sound of "country home" better than the alternatives) and lots of urban friends and family who love coming out from New York City for an afternoon of lounging around outdoors, grilling on the barbecue, and if they're lucky perhaps even a woodchuck sighting.

I'm excited to be working with the Clever Girls Collective and Kleenex Hand Towels to share my tips for making a guest bathroom ready for visitors.

Before having people over, the first thing I always do is make sure the sink is clean. My grandma believed if your sink was clean, visitors would think your house is clean. I'm not sure if she was right or not, but since my messy house needs all the help it can get, I don't take any chances.


I also make sure to have some nice smelling liquid hand soap, and also that my children haven't used it all in their pumping glee.

For visiting children, I have a step stool so little ones can reach the sink. And I keep a cabinet stocked with wipes and diapers in case they're needed for babies and toddlers.


Add a chandelier for a little sparkle, and our guest bathroom is ready to go.


Let's just hope the traffic isn't too bad for the City folk making there way out here to the New Jersey countryside.

I think any guest would feel perfectly at home in there!

I feel the same way about a clean sink! Am I your grandmother?

Really though, in guest baths I think less is more. Let them bring their stuff and spread it all over the place - to feel at home. I like the idea about having some diapers available. I don't think it even matters what size they are...maybe an in between size like 3/4, just for emergencies. And I provide wipes no matter who is staying! I'll look into the hand towels as a more grown-up alternative.
