I am so happy to announce today that I will be participating in a NEW series in the month of October, inspired by The Nester and a group of very talented ladies.
What will this mean for me and for those reading here at RE?
In the month of October, for 31 days, you will find me posting about Stress-Free Entertaining!
Let’s all do the happy dance! Yay!
I’m very excited because each post will have meaning and inspiration, which I hope will be helpful with the holidays right around the corner. Some posts may be short and pithy, some may be longer and more thought-provoking. Nevertheless, I’m committed to this and look forward to 31 days in a row together.
Some of the posts may be as simple as an inspiring picture.
(Yard sale finds and Dollar Store Glasses – they don’t have to be expensive or complicated to be enjoyable!)
Now this 31 Days series is not just about me! Nope! A group of my friends are also joining in and you’ll be able to click around in the blogosphere the month of October and learn a lot from them, too!

31 Days to a Less Messy Nest – Nester, Nesting Place
31 Days to Grace – Emily, Chatting at the Sky
31 Days to More with Less – Jen, Balancing Bedlam and Beauty
31 Days to a Better Photo – Darcy, My 3 Boybarians
31 Days of Autumn Bliss – Melissa, The Inspired Room
31 Days of Living Simply – Emily, Remodeling this Life
31 Days to an Inspired Table – Kendra, My First Kitchen

I want to thank The Nester for her brilliant idea, and for inviting me to be a part of this inspirational month. My hope is that women will be excited about Fall, about the upcoming holidays, and will jump on board in the areas in which they want to improve or learn.
Hey, and no worries if you miss a day, then just come back the next! And have fun browsing around!
What do you think, will you join us?
(BTW, if you haven’t seen my brand new book that is out this month, The Reluctant Entertainer, please read about it, here. It’s full of ideas and practical advice for anyone wanting to learn more about gracious hospitality!)
