The Holiday Dinner Party ~ Ho! Ho! Ho!!

(KV Design Team)

No matter how much we want to pretend that the holidays are NOT just around the corner, they are.  Are you one of those shoppers that have your gifts wrapped up months before Christmas?  I’m not.  Unfortunately I am still shopping; often times even on the night before Santa makes his grand appearance.  I wish I could be one of those that have everything done weeks in advance but there always seems to be unexpected events or people that show up on my list that keeps me going till the very last moments.

The Glamour of Engagements

I just love to hear about wedding engagements, don’t you? Those are thrilling times. Love is in the air, and the anticipation of the coming wedding is intense. Just take a look at Brides Magazine and you will begin to have an appreciation for the endless possibilities available to modern engaged couples.

Wrapping Up the Holidays

It seems to me that some countries celebrate more holidays than we do. We might spend a fortune and abundant time on the biggies, but there are dozens of other holidays throughout the year when we could be making merry. Holiday Smart has a pretty complete listing of all this year’s special days. Why not make it a challenge to observe as many happy days as possible?

How to Really Please on Mother in Law’s Day

Did you know there is a special day set aside for Mother in Laws? I did not know that until just recently. Similar to Mother's Day, this observance was started in 2002 to celebrate those special In-Laws!  It takes place on the fourth Sunday of every October – this time on the 23rd of October, 2011. I am sure there are a lot of daughter in laws, son in laws, and even mother in laws who would like to celebrate this day if only they knew about it. Well, this is my announcement to the world that the day for honoring the woman who brought your loved one into the world is right around the corner!

Dinner Parties to Die For!

So you have to give a dinner party for business guests. What do you do? If you are like many people, you fret and worry over the best way to entertain them. After all, it is often extremely important to make a good impression. Whether you are entertaining business associates from out of town or a group of employees, you want to come off in the best possible light.

Your Turn to Plan for a Girls’ Night Out?

If you are considering going on a girls’ night out, the first examples that pop into your head will probably be the common ones. I know I always think of going to a movie or a bar. What if you are in charge of making the plans for your next outing? Will you choose the same old tired activities? What if you could come up with a better idea?

It’s All in the Presentation Dahlings!

One of my favorite things to do in my free time is to hang out with my Diva Dahlings ~ my girlfriends.  J  You know how it is when you are with your girlfriends and no matter what may be going on in your life at the time; you always end up feeling great. It doesn’t matter what you are doing, from sitting around chatting while drinking a cheap bottle of wine or sipping on some ice tea, a great time is always had.  I always end up feeling renewed, special and just great all over.  (Strikingly similar to receiving a fabulous gift.)
