Being a Guest in My Own Home

By Kristin on November 7, 2011 3 Comments

Last week, we had our friends Mike and Terrill stay with us as our guests. We got ready for them by cleaning their "suite" and primping small gifts. We wanted them to feel comfortable and welcomed. Even though they were here for work, we wanted them to feel like they could be here on their off hours and relax. Unfortunately, we had a weekend that was off the hook for us personally. I would love to go into detail and share with you all, but honestly I'm so emotionally spent from it all, I don't want to expend any more … [Read more...]

Preparing for Overnight Guests

By Kristin on October 28, 2011 9 Comments

For years, my husband and I have told people, we'd like to have a bed and breakfast or something like that, when we retire. We love having overnight guests in our home. Usually we host people we know, like our good friends Mike and Terrill who are coming today for a long weekend. Sometimes we have hosted people we've never met. I know some of you may be freaking out a little here...wondering how we could possibly entertain folks in our home we've never met, but I have to tell you, these unexpected visitors have all become … [Read more...]

Table Guest ~ Laura Tremaine ~ Hollywood Housewife

By lovefeasttable on October 13, 2011 2 Comments

It's not uncommon for blogger friendships to start online. We first met Laura Tremain on Twitter. We became chatty - familiar. Then, while scouting outfits for a Blissdom (blogging conference) fashion post, Chris Ann game across "the dress" - only to realize, it was being worn by none other than Laura, their LoveFeast Twitter friend. A half a year later, the LoveFeast girls met up with Laura at BlogHer in NYC, to find that the launch of online friendships blossom IRL (in real life). We will always remember the London … [Read more...]

LIFE

By Kristin on July 27, 2011 74 Comments

The first time I met Maggie, AKA Gussy, was last year at one of our BlogLove Events. I didn't get a chance to talk to her very long, but later in the year, at a conference, we had one of those heart to hearts that left us knowing we had become friends. Maggie is full of LIFE and creativity and witnessing how she has taken that and turned it into a successful business, is nothing short of inspiring. LIFE here at our table is about the real LIFE experience...the tangible...the things that happen away from the computer. To … [Read more...]

There is nothing like the buzz around the table when the food gets set, the guests sit down and the conversation begins. Today's guest is Sandy from Reluctant Entertainer.

LoveFeast Table’s New Look

By Kristin on May 2, 2011 16 Comments

Some of you know, we have been in an 8 month process of redefining our look for LoveFeast Table. You see, when we started blogging 2 1/2 years ago, we thought we were going to write a cookbook. That's what started us on this blogging journey. We had shared so many amazing meals around the table (over the 14 years we had been friends along with our growing families), we thought we wanted to document them. We wanted to share not only the original recipes, but also capture the conversations that took place as well as the … [Read more...]
