2017 Highlights -The Everyday Hostess

Stay tuned for some fun changes!) plus Landon and I are deep in the house buying process, and my goodness is that a feat!

During this exciting time, we have been very reflective of 2017. What an incredible year and one that will be hard to ever beat! Landon and I got married in June, both started new roles at work, started our new little Etsy shop and continued to grow The Everyday Hostess.

We are so grateful for each and every one of you following our journey and, of course, our favorite parties, so here’s a little recap of all the greatness 2017 had to offer!
