- extra rolls of toilet paper
- being clear where the towels are, which ones they should use, etc. we have a separate bathroom for guests but when you're a guest sharing the main bathroom, it's really nice to know "are the towels hanging there for me to use? or are those theirs? and if those aren't mine, where do i find one?"
- lamps next to the beds, as well as alarm clocks
- a night light in the hall to find the bathroom in a strange home
- an extra blanket thrown on the bed. just in case they get cold or a child comes in and wants to sleep on the floor. ;)
- extra pillows are nice too
- trial sized body wash, shampoo, lotion. I just bring these from hotels.
- snacks out on the kitchen counter for anytime access

extra pillows are nice too
So, this might be of interest to like 1% of you but as I was prepping the house for our next batch of {spur of the moment} guests, I thought about the little things that I try to do to make our guests lives more comfortable. I'm sure there are other things that I don't do so niceday will have to fill me in.

- I'm passionately in love with Jesus. He overwhelms me. I'm outrageously in love with my husband of 11 years. He stole my heart. I'm giddily in love with my kids. They make me laugh.

Well, I don't know about all guests, but I use your washer and dryer EVERY time I'm there. And yes, I vouch for ALL the items on the list. They're there and we appreciate them!
And blackout curtains in the blue room are a nice touch for me, who likes to sleep in in the morning...;)
I'm sure you ARE the perfect hostess! :) I try to leave a book by the bed, too.
Oh, I loved this post. I miss our guest room. Our extra bdrm is too small for our extra bedroom suit, but it's a great size for the playroom, or Uncle Bubba's room.
I used to leave an extra house key hanging on a hook by the light switch.
I used to hang out in our guest room alot because it was always clean and dusted. I could live in denial in there for hours.
Now our poor guests are lucky if Bubba cleans off his night stand. But there is already a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle alarm clock there:)
Now I know where to stay if we ever end up in the mid-western States. ;-)
You are so cute...your guests sound blessed.
I am so surprised that having a coffee machine available for each guest, wasn't on your list. ;-)

I can also vouch! You are a wonderful, gracious host! I feel very welcomed and at home when we stay!
I like the mini shampoo idea. A few years back I found a pretty pitcher and glass that was meant to be placed by your guest's bed. I thought that was cool... I always get thirsty at night. ~Karlie
I guess I'm in the 1%. These are great tips! Our house has become a revolving door lately, and I'm not a natural Martha Stewart. ;)
One I've realized I need to do better about is easy breakfast items for guest who rise earlier than I do so they're not starving waiting for me to wake up. I've also found I need to have caffeinated coffee on hand for those that prefer that (I usually stick with decaf myself, and it's more of a dessert than a breakfast drink). Kimmie's idea of personal coffee machines sounds great. ;)
My guest bedroom really needs a makeover.
oh and Cindy's idea of having a book is great too, I once stayed up half the night reading an intriguing book that I'd found in the guest bedroom. You always read books with intriguing titles, I wouldn't doubt someone would pick one up and peruse it if it was on the nightstand. We have a Bible and a copy of My Utmost for His Highest on our guest bedroom nightstand.
Alright, I've hogged your comment box long enough...;)
P.S. Is there any news on the baby boy you mentioned? I've been praying.
