I love to host gatherings at my house. It gives me an opportunity to really clean my house and show off my limited Rachael Rayish party skills. Spending time with family and friends is a bonus.
Contrary to popular belief - I'm not the most outgoing gal, at least not on purpose. Oddly, I worked in the service industry most of my life and could fake social skills. I did really well but when I stopped and went to work in an office, it was a lot harder to fake that sparkly personality. I'm out of practice.
So, it's time to dust off my sparkle and branch out into the world of neighborhood moms! How you wonder? Well, it all started at our Kid's Choice Awards party. The night of the party there happened to be a snowstorm and the moms of our guests decided to hang out instead of come back to get their offspring.
We spent the evening chatting, drinking wine, and even watching the award show with the kids. It was a great night. It also got me thinking, why not do this again?
A few clicks on Facebook and an invite was sent for a mom and kid potluck. Sure, I could have added our spouses but I told the husband he can have the night off and do something for himself. By making the event a potluck it absolutely took the pressure off having to make a big meal.
