Holiday Hosting

One of my favorite things in the world is hosting parties in our home. We love being around the people that mean the most to us and making them feel loved. Holiday hosting can be overwhelming if you don’t have a plan! Here are my tried and true must haves when hosting a holiday event!

Must have #1 : Elegant Ambiance

I wanted the twinkle lights and candles light up this party and create a cozy, intimate setting for our friends. I added 36 candles to the house from entryway all the way to the fireplace. I love how it turned out. These candle holders are from Dollar Tree and at $1 a piece, the price was well worth the effect.

Must Have #2: Beautiful Blooms

Piney Rose Floral was kind enough to make these beautiful arrangements for our party. I love how they added the perfect amount of color to our home, making it extra festive.

Must Have #3: Fun Music

I don’t think you can go wrong with Justin Timberlake in a party setting so we had his concert playing in the background.

Y’all I’m obsessed with these little LED strands. They are battery operated and looked so pretty as our backdrop.

Barry, our 15 year old golden retriever was so social during our party that he slept all day the following day!

Must Have #4: Great Food & Drinks

Who doesn’t love great food and wine? Give me allll the cheese boards too! Gorgeous food and beautiful flowers means you don’t need a lot of extra decor.

One very important thing I’ve learned after hosting for many years is that things don’t have to be perfect. Perfection usually translates to stuffy or unapproachable. Most people want to be cared for and feel comfortable. That’s what true hosting is all about.

A big thank you to Piney Rose Floral for collaborating on this post!

A few months ago I decided to use this *crazy* yea A few months ago I decided to use this *crazy* year to focus on my family and reassess where my time and energy is spent. Y’all, I’m so glad I did! I’m learning to stop stressing about all of the things we can’t do (due to Covid) and focus on what we can do! One thing we can do is help others. Our family decided to become a licensed foster family (again)! We could get a call for a child any day! The thought of a child needing to be placed with us is terribly sad, but we are praying to be a soft place to land. How have y’all used 2020 to learn and refocus? I’d love to hear! ❤️

Welp. Here it is. The only clean room in our house Welp. Here it is. The only clean room in our house! And that’s because I don’t let my kids use this bathroom!! 🤣 Our kiddos still have 3 weeks before school starts and hopefully we will get back into some kind of routine before this mama loses it! I love them but we need structure 🖤 How are y’all hanging in? I know lots of y’all have already started school! http://liketk.it/2UH6z #liketkit #LTKhome @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.home Shop your screenshot of this pic with the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app

The look I give when people tell me I have to know The look I give when people tell me I have to know by Friday if my kiddos will go to school in person or virtually! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Y’all we are in CRAZY times, but let’s not act crazy! I’m a firm believer that mamas do what’s best for THEIR children! There’s no right and no wrong!
