Welcome to Homemaker's Sheik podcast where we are rescuing the art of homemaking from the daily grind.

This season's theme, as you know, is soft, not sloppy, and we are encouraging you to do the job that needs to get done.

But for heaven's sake, give yourself a break and a whole lot of grace. Today's episode,

this season is brought to you by Dry Farm Wines, and you can visit them at dryfarmwines.com

Shea and I are very pleased to share with you a brand new guest to the show.

I'm just thrilled to announce that Beth Luminac is here.

She is the author of Entertaining 101. 101 recipes. Every host should know how to make that is coming out

right about now. And we're thrilled to have her. You can find her on YouTube,

Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest. She is living in the charming Vande region of France. So she's

coming to you from France today. And she is going to give us expert tips for making efforts,

for effortless entertaining, which I think we need. And I think that falls

right under this soft category because I'm entertaining tonight. And I got to tell you, my heart's

kind of pounded in my chest. And you need to just lighten up on ourselves a little bit. And I think

Beth is going to help us with that today. So welcome from France.

Yes. Welcome, Beth. Well, thank you for having me. It's great to be here.

I'm very happy. Yes. And my heart goes out to you because you should not be stressed.

The thing is, the thing is, is that we need human connection.
