Entertaining
Soundbot Multi-Unit Bluetooth Speaker Review
Posted by Katie Grabner on
One thing you need to know about me is that I love to entertain. I don't get to do it as much as I'd like to as a parent, but I do love to play hostess when I can. When it comes to having friends over, music is an important way to 'set the mood.' Music is always a great way to bring some good vibes into any situation, but especially a way to make a room not feel so sterile when friends are over.

Christmas Eve Tablescape
Posted by Katie Grabner on

Spring Dinner Party in the Old House
Posted by Katie Grabner on
I hosted this dinner party in our first home in the month of May, right around the Derby. I was so excited, because I had just purchased a new dinning room set, and I was looking forward to breaking it in. Unfortunately, our table and rug didn't make it in time for the party though! But our beautiful chairs did. I stumbled across these images and thought it would be fun to take you inside of our old dinning room. I love the pops of cobalt on the table for some added...
