In this week's episode "Family Trolls and Hosting Goals", I welcome my sister Becca Cousins, creator of Host in Your Home, for a lively discussion about the ups and downs of party hosting. From family trolling on social media to sharing tips on how to host stress-free gatherings in less-than-perfect homes, this episode has it all. Becca and I dive into the joys of hosting on a budget, dealing with real-life hosting disasters (like rotting pumpkins!), and how growing up together shaped their party-planning skills. Plus, get insights into creating community and handling guests who just won’t leave.
Takeaways:
Hosting Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect: Becca emphasizes that anyone can host a great party, even if your home isn't picture-perfect. It’s about creating connections, not impressing guests with perfection.
Use What You Have: Becca shares creative ideas for budget-friendly decor and simple menu planning that makes hosting accessible for everyone.
How to Deal with Overstaying Guests: From Midwest goodbyes to sneaky tactics like turning off lights, Becca explains how to politely encourage guests to leave when the party is over.
Build Community through Hosting: Andrea and Becca discuss how hosting neighbors and friends can create a sense of community, even if you're an introvert or don’t know everyone well.
Sibling Rivalry in the Kitchen: The sisters relive their family baking competitions, with Becca accusing Andrea of using crowd-pleasing tricks like frosting on scones to win.
