Sane & Satisfying Holiday Entertaining: Episode 130

“Entertaining” sounds intimidating, but how about “open your doors and let people in”? Meagan and Sarah want you to feel like opening your home to guests is an opportunity, not a potential Pinterest-fail, and we’re here to offer some tips for scaling back the expectations and making entertaining fun, sane, and satisfying for everyone. Join us!

This episode has a companion follow-up conversation about hosting big holiday meals coming up this Friday, December 1. Check your feed for that one soon!
