Thank you for your interest in Reluctant Entertainer! This page is about working with brands and partnering with RE through advertising and sponsored posts. To inquire about, or for any other questions, please contact me via email at email.
Reluctant Entertainer, created in 2006, is a website bringing imperfect living and passion into lives through gardening, canning, cooking, baking, creating, decorating, entertaining, homemaking tips, and encouraging others to open their doors to love and connection. RE helps those “reluctant” to entertain–or those wanting to step-up their hospitality skills–with creative home entertaining ideas, along with plenty of inspiration.
Your home should be a reflection of you and your family, of what you love and what makes you happy. It’s not about the latest look in a magazine, or trying to keep up with your neighbors or friends, or the perfect pictures on Pinterest. Your home is your story, and it can bring amazing joy and love to others! -Sandy, RE
