ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! 

So guys, this is our last Girls Night episode of the year. I can’t believe it! But, no worries at all, we’ll be back with another season of Girls Nights in January. 

Since the holidays are coming up, and since this is our last episode for the year, I knew we had to do something special.

We have a VERY special guest for today’s episode. It’s Carl’s mom, my mother-in-law, the one and only Kathy Wilson.

Now, here’s what you need to know about Kathy before we dive in. She basically invented Pinterest. Okay, that’s totally not true – not specifically. But if you’ve ever been to her house, you feel like she did. She has this unbelievable gift for hosting people, for creating a comfortable, inspiring, nurturing home that I seriously have to drag myself away from after staying with her for a few days. (I’m serious — it’s all I can do to not beg her to let us live in her basement.) 

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.
