Today, we're taking a look at hospitality with a twist(!) and sharing intentional creative gatherings we've either hosted or been invited to. Ashlee raves about a good ol' fashioned book club (surprise, surprise), show-and-tell parties, and gives more gold stars and hearts for Galentine's Day, while Katie loves commemorating the change of seasons—think fall soup competitions and end-of-summer backyard movies—and also makes a point to honor special dates like friendaverseries in unique-to-you ways. We hope this episode inspires you to host your own creative get-together. And hey, if you only take one thing from this episode, let it be this: any party where you can wear pajamas is a good party.
