If people aren’t stuffed AND taking home leftovers we haven’t done it right.

Let's not forget dropping off leftovers to people who couldn’t make the party!

I love to host my Mah Jongg friends. I am a planner and love incorporating snacks and lunch for a fun day. Thank you for the giveaway!

I love to bake & bring a perfectly curated dessert for the vibes of the party (and occasionally also a savory bread item)!

I love to host and make my guest's favorite things to have when they're here that they don't ordinarily make at home. That way they feel a little special like having your mom make your favorite things to eat. Just as long as it isn't a bunch of fussy appetizers. :))

Host! But Type B style. Food/wine/sparkling water will be flowing, but you can sit wherever you want, put your glass down wherever you want, and just chill.

I’m the stressed out host. Working on shortening that description to just, host!

I do really feel it takes practice and certain astrological signs.

Well, we are birthday cousins, but I’m 1987. So those few years made a difference because you are the host everyone hopes to get an invitation from!

I'm the one who will find your dog and hang out with them for most of the night. 🤣(But I'll also bring you a thoughtful gift to make up for it)

I’m definitely either the host, or the one baking something (often times cookies) for a party!

I tend to be the host. I love planning & executing a tasty menu.

P.S. The TJ's Apple Cinnamon Sourdough is worth the trip into town. It's perfect toasted with a little extra cinnamon butter on top.
