Something about fall just makes me want to show hospitality!

I love having people around my table, serving them warm food and talking while the candles burn down.

So many “fall dishes” are warm and comforting, and perfect for easy hospitality.  Beef stew, ham & potato chowder, lasagna, enchiladas… all of these are warm and delicious, yet simple.

Our new wall art is so special to us.  We sang this hymn at our wedding and at Tad’s ordination.  It’s a Lindsay Letters print we bought at Hobby Lobby.

 Our calligraphy name art can be found at MiMi’s Soda Shoppe.

Vera has been so excited about showing hospitality when we’ve done it lately.

Here are some ways she helps:
-straightening up her room
-picking up books and toys in the living room
-setting the table (with a little help)
-greeting guests at the door
-serving dessert (she loves to carry plates in for people!)
-thanking our guests for coming

My best tip for showing hospitality… just INVITE them, and then figure everything else out!  I bet you’ll get that table cleaned off if you know they are coming.  😉
