all of her fabulous party planning secrets with us.
Her goal?

As I read through the pages...
I was unexpectedly inspired in ways I didn't see coming.
Among the treasure trove of priceless party planning advice...
I also uncovered inspirational gems buried within the text itself.

Not only do these jewels of passages from Hilary apply to party planning...
they beautifully spillover into applying them to everyday life.
Here are a few more of my favorites:
"...being fully present is the best present you can give your guests [family]."
"It's really all about living in the moment and making people feel special."
"...it's the small things that make life big."
"Keep your energy aligned with all the greatness that is headed your way."
and lastly...
In addition to all of THAT wonderful inspiration...
the book is filled to the hilt with valuable information related to every aspect of the party planning process.
