Summer Organization: Hosting Edition

We are finally amidst natural sunlight, the scent of flowers, ice cream treats, and colourful surroundings. Summer is upon us. What does this mean? It can mean more hosting at home, BBQs on the block, social gatherings, and other exciting events. Before your summer grows busy, it may benefit you to create a seasonal organization plan and execute it throughout your space. It is no secret that summer is an extremely eventful time for many of us. Organizing your space ahead of time will eliminate the worry of having to complete larger projects when time and energy are limited.

You may be wondering what summer organization entails. That is simple. It is anything summer related! If you are hosting, ensure to keep your kitchen in order. Stock up on snacks, drinks, plates, napkins, cutlery, and most importantly, cleaning products. Store these in a place that makes them easily accessible and ready for the party! You can also organize your fridge so that it is guest friendly. The easiest way to accomplish this is by grouping similar items together when placing them on the shelves. Another tip that is often overlooked is having garbage bags readily available. This may not seem like a vital tip, but it is quite important when hosting!

Another area you can focus on is your backyard. It is time to pull out your summer chairs and tables. Set them up so they are ready to go! Give your BBQ a deep clean. Open your pool and get the toys ready. Cut the grass. Care for your flowers. Boom! Wasn’t that easy? Okay, so it might not be easy, but it will definitely be worth it. Follow these steps and the difficult part will be over. Your backyard will then require the usual maintenance every once in a while, but you will be ready to host once these tasks are off your checklist!

Summer is a time for many of us to relax and have fun. Do not let the burden of these tasks put a damper on your mood. Get ahead while you have the chance! Once you move along your summer organization checklist, you can sit back and prepare to experience an amazing and worry-free summer!
