My Story Entertaining friends and family is a true passion of mine. I love dinner parties, planning events, holiday parties, home decor and creating memories that will last a lifetime. A well rounded menu and entertainment space can bring a simple dinner party into a memorable experience. Life is worth celebrating, and I find the planning and coordinating side of the event as much fun as the party itself. I love creating nostalgic classic recipes with a modern twist. Thank you for being here and adding fuel to my passion. Growing up in rural Iowa I always had a knack for showing my love through food. I would have dinner ready for my parents as they would come home from work. I would have baking parties with my friends during the holidays in high school. When I went away to college I was always having dinner parties in my dorm rooms or apartments. Decorating and cooking has always been enjoyable for me. My roommate and I won best college dorm room on campus in 2014. I baked goodies and sent them to my boyfriend (now husband) while he was serving in our military. Crafting and creating something to make others smile gives me a feeling like no other. Living in a space that changes with the seasons adds interest and coziness to my home. Today I live on a farm in rural Iowa with my husband and our two fur babies Toby and Ronin. We love to host parties and holiday get togethers. Decorating makes me happy dance and entertaining is my soul food. Welcome my friend, please stay awhile Mrs. Howard CEO &Founder of The Howard Homestead Established 2019
