My wife and I enjoy being spontaneous and over the years we learned we don't have to have everything

perfect to have people over.

So if we're talking to a couple and we've got the ability to say hey come on over for lunch

not full of chaos, right?

have a lot of laughter and great memories.

I remember growing up in a home with my parents full of hospitality. I didn't know who was going to be there for

amount of time so all kinds of people lived in our house, my cousins lived with us, like four different

cousins throughout the years, and then another girl came and lived, and it was kind of like a sister
