We’ve had a season of hosting little things and bigger things and having our favorite house guests, which has been so wonderful and fun. But, #RealTalk, if you’re a half-way introvert like me (I’m totally borderline INFJ/ENFJ if you’re a Meyers-Briggs person) living in a house with lots of people and having guests over means you have to find time for self care.
How do people who entertain for a living do it?

Elizabeth Heiskell, my cousin up in North Mississippi is basically THE most amazing hostess, caterer, storyteller, and chef that I know personally. Her farm-to-table events are known all over Delta, her farm’s vegetables are used in kitchens from Nashville to Oxford, her food is coveted at tailgates across the state, and now, her recipes and bubbly personality are being beamed into living rooms around the country because she’s been cooking on the Today Show about once a month.
I gave her a ring recently to pick her brain about hospitality, entertaining, and family… and what I got was actual delta-deep-south-debutante-wisdom for the ages. 😉 …
