This is a good idea. My sister is allergic to eggs, and when baking from scratch growing up we just added a bit more water instead of eggs and (rule of thumb) if the recipe called for 3 eggs or less it turned out OK. 4 eggs or more was a no-go.

I don't agree entirely. While emailing to say -hey dude, have you made a decision yet-probably won't win great favors, I think reaching out does have something to do with decisions for some people. I know it did for me, I just hired someone, one of the major factors being how they followed up...

I agree. I really like this idea of referring to the photo of breakfast on the review site.

She has kindness in her eyes. Thanks for sharing the link, and letting those of us who didn't know her spend a moment honoring her as well. I'm sorry to hear of her passing.

Wow! How beautiful! I loved seeing all of the plants in bloom, a true work!

Well, my vote is no. Would think it better time spent (and happier) to figure out how to make your business great than how to make havoc for others. I would support a goal that is less vindictive. That would ask these agencies not so much to go after these other homes, but to ask for help to...

I like this idea - if possible.

Amen.

I don't know, I'd love to hear how Thermacell works. We usually spray our grounds, repeatedly and have bug repellant on hand. We tried a buzapper, waste of money.

How exciting-best wishes! Let's see one piece of advice--you know the saying happy wife, happy life. I think the same is true for innkeeping - happy innkeeper, good business. Take some time out of your day for you guys so it's not all business.

You could google "bed and breakfast business plan". Some guides include guidelines for budget calculations. Honestly, if I were you, and as others mention the difficulty, I'd try to figure out how to do it without taking a loan out right away. I'd look online to see which inns were for sale in...

Ah, then I misunderstood. If she didn't show up when she said she would and didn't contact you, then I vote to move on. It will take a few days/weeks to find help, so if you start looking now, it also gives you flexibility if she comes back with a good excuse to continue her contract before...

I think it's a brilliant plan and think you should give it a chance to work...if I'm understanding this correctly. From her point of view, she came to work, worked super well, came to an agreement with you about the follow on days. Yay! Now time to relax. Then you later texted (not called) and...

Us too! We have a binder in our reception area with more detailed area information/ads. We have those clear sheet protectors in the binder, and we just pop the advertisement in one of those. (We have a separate binder in the guest rooms that has general information about our place and area...

I'll have to give that a try!

What type of place do you have? I would describe our place as budget. We are not in an urban area, and we have a fridge in the reception area where guests can buy drinks/snacks on the honor system. We have a sign up sheet where they track their purchases and can either pay at the end, or put...

We have a little separate reception office. We want to be sane and have reception hours for check in from 3pm-6pm, will take walk-ins or early arrivals before that, checked in by our assistant, and will answer the phone until 7pm. Our reception area itself is open from about 7am, where people...

Wow, tricky!

Congrats on a beautiful looking site!

Just want to agree with empty nest here - the dark green background was the ONLY thing that bothered me with your lovely website. I think it looks depressing and old fashioned where as the blue looks so light and airy and beach like. I even was thinking to myself, this person chose the perfect...
