- arranged over 50+ wedding gifts in their family room for opening on their return w/ the gift book and pen for easy recording.
- hauled in a zillion pairs of my DIL's shoes and her hang up clothes
- hung up their drapes in the family room and bedroom
- made their bed with their new stuff (we wanted to put mints on their pillows, but didn't have them, so I put a small bowl of chocolate chips on the night stand (on my son's side)) - - the joke here is he had the bag of chocolate chips on the bathroom counter (bad habit I taught him, but I never eat mine in the bathroom!!!!)
- placed fresh roses on the dresser
- hung a "welcome home" poster on the inside back door (w/wedding pics they haven't even seen yet)
- stocked their fridge and pantry w/food
- vacuumed
Now, when they return from their honeymoon their home is warm and inviting, stocked with food and all clean and ready to start their new married life! |
Sounds like you are a great MIL!
