What I’m Binge-ing

This week for my binge-ing segment I talked all about platter meals!  We’ve been serving up a lot of them through quarantine, and they are a great way to serve food through the summer as well.

Check out some of my platter meals below and get more ideas on the podcast.

Overboard on Party Themes with Alia Cherry

I loved my conversations with Alia today!  So many good pieces of advice to take away from the episode with.

  • I loved her advice on starting party planning with just three areas to focus on, food, activities, and decorations.
  • Plus she gives us the formula for how she decides on what activities to include in her parties.  She has great advice for how to let the kids get involved, yet still have control over the party.
  • We also talk a lot about holiday and family traditions and that simple ones work best. You have to hear about her husband and son’s baptism tradition.
  • Alia shares how her faith plays a role in hosting and that hosting has helped to broaden her kids’ friend circles.
  • Just like most podcasts we get into moving a lot and how to build a community once you arrive at your new home.
  • And Alia echoes my #1 hosting tip to have a focal point at every party instead of spreading the party decor out
