    Making Your Home the "Hosting Home" with Myquillin Smith (@thenester) | Episode 278

    We all want to have the home that makes the "hey, I'm right around the corner, can I come over?" texts not frightening! We desire a home to connect, to host, to be cozy at least for our family and functional! Thanks to Myquillyn, this is possible with her rules she shares!
    It's more than just having a "pretty home" so we talk about that, why this is important and necessary to living/having the life you want to have.
