Hosting & Entertaining

I love talking paint colors as much as the next home decor-obsessed person, but it’s the memories we make with the people we love inside those walls that truly turn a house into a home. Whether it’s a casual weeknight dinner, a themed gathering, a holiday celebration, or a simple excuse to linger around the table, I’ve loved finding ways to make hosting feel approachable and meaningful since I was seven years old with my first party planner notebook.

This is where you’ll find all of my entertaining content in one place, from supper clubs and dinner parties to tips for hosting the perfect party, tablescape inspiration, seasonal gatherings, and the small thoughtful details that make people feel welcome the moment they walk through the door.
