to make a first impression… I am sure we have all heard that saying many times before. I was thinking about that as I walked outside and looked at my house from the sidewalk this afternoon. I can’t remember why I went outside, but I do know that my front porch looked like a lawsuit waiting to happen. There were so many shoes, toys, and junk someone was bound to trip walking to our door.
Even though cleaning the porch was not on my “must do” list I decided that it needed to be done. I didn’t want to be the house that everyone in the neighborhood talked about in hushed voices, if you know what I mean. I started picking it up, and 10 minutes later I was finished! Don’t you hate it when you put something off, and then when you finally do it, you are done in minutes, and the difference is huge?
The front of your house is the first thing people see (usually) when they come to visit. Is it inviting? Can they get to the front door without running an obstacle course? Take a few minutes and straighten up your porch today. You won’t regret it!
