You know the drill. Friends are coming over, and suddenly your home needs to look like it just stepped out of a magazine. You’ve rallied your partner and kids, turning the house into a whirlwind of frantic cleaning, all in a bid to conceal any signs of real life. But let’s be honest—achieving that picture-perfect aesthetic is pretty unrealistic, especially when you have a family. This uproarious viral video brings to life the manic energy we all experience when prepping for guests.

About the Video

In the latest episode titled “Guests Are Arriving,” comedian Jamie Blundt takes on the role of a hilariously intense housewife, completely losing it at the thought of company. Prepare to giggle uncontrollably at some of her over-the-top lines, such as:

• “I want this place to look like the inside of a high-end spa in the next five minutes!”
• “If your bed isn’t made, just throw it out! It’s too late for that now!”
• “Let’s get rid of the couches! We can’t let anyone know we actually relax here!”
• “There must be zero signs of LIFE in this abode!”
• “I want this place to resemble a trendy fusion restaurant by lunchtime!”

While this is all in good fun, it does resonate with many of us, doesn’t it? Even if you don’t go to such extremes, perhaps it sounds familiar to your upbringing. I remember wondering why our home had to resemble a pristine showroom. Deep down, I always knew how silly it was to maintain an illusion of perfection for guests who likely have their own messy homes. Yet, I still find myself channeling a more subdued version of Blundt’s character when hosting.

Embracing Imperfection

It’s completely normal to want your home looking its best for visitors, but why stress ourselves out in the process? With the holiday season approaching, we’ll likely find ourselves in situations where we’re urging our kids to tidy up and dividing chores with our partners to make everything look immaculate. But why put ourselves through that?

Let’s take a step back and remember that no one expects your home to resemble a chic Mediterranean fusion restaurant during a holiday gathering. So what if there’s a little clutter? That means you might have had time to enjoy a good book or catch up on your favorite show instead. With all the hustle and bustle of the season, we deserve a little relaxation too. Let’s give ourselves permission to embrace imperfection, making this holiday season a lot less stressful than the last. And I know I will!
