MY ENTERTAINING SURVIVAL GUIDE

America Entertains was my holiday survival guide! The December in NYC Party gave me so many festive home decorating ideas and amazing recipes. My guests simply couldn't stop eating the Molasses Christmas Crinkles or drinking the Mistletoe Martinis. Valentines Day is just around the corner, I am already reviewing David's February in New Orleans Chapter. I know my husband will love chocolate-covered rose petals and Sinfully Red Cocktails but I'm guessing I will be enjoying them more than him!!! David, thank-you so much!!
