Summary: If you love the idea of throwing parties and entertaining but are intimidated by the thought of decorating, buying the supplies, creating a menu, making the invitations - not to mention getting your house in tip-top shape beforehand - you're definitely going to want to listen to Episode 38 of The Home Hour. In the show, event stylist and mom Kristen Forgione offers simple, no-stress tips for focusing on what matters and forgetting the rest (guess what - nobody is likely to notice if you cleaned out your closets before the party!) We talk about everything from decorating to budgeting to buying and making the food. Kristen is so reassuring about the process of planning a party - after all, it should be FUN! Plus, I share some exciting things we've got planned for The Happiest Home this month. Listen now! (Or scroll down to find links to some of the stories and resources we discussed in the show!)
