About Us

Hi! I’m Wanda Simone. So glad you stopped by!

I have loved to entertain for as long as I can remember. 

I started hosting Super Bowl parties in high school (more than 40 years ago!)

And fell in love with creating events that were fun and looked awesome. (Some might even say “extra” or “over the top”, because I almost always have a party theme.) 

I also learned along the way that serving good food and signature cocktails really helps everyone to have a great time 🙂

Since I work a full-time job, I have had to come up with ways to make all of this happen without spending too much time or getting too stressed out. (And I don’t have the budget to hire it out.)

Which is why you’ll find a lot of DIY party decorations, make-ahead recipes and party planning tips that will help keep your stress level down on the site.

And lots of pictures. Because I find that’s the easiest way to get inspired. (I’m trying to do more videos, too…but that’s still a work in progress).

Oh…and did I mention that I love holidays? (Any excuse for a party.)

Halloween is my absolute favorite!

But I decorate and host some kind of get-together (which could be anything from a brunch to an all-out celebration) for almost all of them.

I hope you can find some inspiration for your own at-home celebrations and I would love to hear from you!
