Hi everyone,

I wanted to take a chance to reintroduce myself to everybody who has recently stopped by (thank you!!).  Over the past year, this blog has become a space for me to capture greeting cards, party ideas, and life ramblings – and I like to think that I embody the phrase “engineer by day, hostess by night.”  If you look at how I eat M&Ms, you’d see why I’m an engineer.  If you look at my Prom 21st birthday party, you’d see why I’m a hostess.  And if you look at my guide for planning Wine and Cheese events, you’d see why I’m a pretty good combination of the two.

Recently this blog has been slacking on the “hostess” component though, but the good news is that I just bought a couch futon, so now I can start hosting (small) parties again.  But there are plenty of other posts to keep you entertained in the meantime.

Somebody once asked me what my “thing” is in life – and my answer to that is people.  I love meeting people, getting to know them, making them happy, introducing them, and learning what makes them tick.

I usually make decisions with my heart instead of my head (I made pumpkin chocolate chip muffins for some people in the office last week because my heart hurt when I found out that they were working until after 11:00pm again).  I also like to talk my way out loud to solutions to problems and conclusions of thoughts (you can ask my roommate about that hot mess).

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it.  I appreciate every visit, every comment, and every share, so now it’s time that I share something with you.
