ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!
So friends, since the holiday season is officially here, I wanted to revisit one of my all time favorite Girls Night episodes. It’s a conversation I had a few years back with Carl’s mom, and my amazing mother-in-law, the one and only Kathy Wilson.
As we speak, I’m just now getting back from a beautiful family Thanksgiving celebration that Kathy put together for 22 people and so I knew I needed to reshare this conversation because truly she is the hostess with the mostess!
Now, here’s what you need to know about Kathy before we dive in: She basically invented pinterest. That’s not true, but it feels like it. She has incredible style, impeccable taste, and almost everything I know about style, design, home decor, hosting, and more, I learned from her.
In today’s episode, she’s going to be sharing with us…
How to make our house feel like home (with a nurturing, inviting ambiance)
How to decorate our homes without breaking our budgets
How to make our homes feel warm and inviting for guests
Actually doable tricks to being a great hostess
How to make friends today that we’ll still be friends with in 30 years.
I’m so excited for you to get to hear from her.
