Hey there! I’m so happy you stopped by.

To get to know me a bit…

Let’s just say entertaining is my jam. I love having friends and family gather in my home with the goal of everyone feeling at ease and welcome each time they visit. I plan my gatherings as though I am giving a gift to each attendee. And from my invites to tablescapes, when planning a party…I always have FUN in mind. 

What’s NOT fun? Breaking the bank while doing it!

I hope to share tips and tricks and inspire you. I’ll show you that it’s possible to have a lovely party or give a heartfelt gift without spending a fortune. I’ll give you ideas on haunting the dollar bins, stocking up on my “go-to” items and using those creative juices to “jeuge” and sprinkle in the FUN

My hope is by sharing how I try to bring a little joy through bringing people together or small acts of kindness, perhaps together we can bring some light and laughter to our beautiful yet sometimes unpromising world. 

Together let’s share some warm-heartedness and grace through gathering friends and family…and have plenty of FUN along the way~
