It is probably easy to imagine dream renovations for most of the rooms in your home.  Maybe you’d re-do your kitchen with all stainless steel appliances, or paint your bedroom a relaxing blue.  Your living room might be spruced up with newly polished floors, cushioned furniture and colorful area rugs.

Cleaning!  Decorations!  Invitations!  Food!  If hosting a party is on your agenda this month, you probably have a lot on your mind.  But a little planning and organization, plus some helpful hints, will make your holiday event a merry success.

There are many wonderful things about home food preparation and cooking, but some of the less pleasing side affects are odors that linger in your home.  The smell of a freshly baked apple pie might be welcome, but what about the smell of last night’s broiled fish?
