Today I want to introduce two very special friends who are part of my Dwelling book launch blog tour: Sandy from Reluctant Entertainer and KariAnne of Thistlewood Farms. Be sure to follow the links in this post to get extra entries in the giveaway celebrating the book.
Both of these women run inspiring blogs and each expresses the idea of “dwelling well” in her own distinctive way. They live fully and intentionally, and their homes and writing reflect a joy for life that is contagious.
KariAnne of Thistlewood Farms has a gift for telling humorous, heartfelt stories about her life and home that also carry meaningful takeaways. Her writing feels like visiting a friend who offers honest, warm perspective. Recently she was able to buy her childhood home and move back in—a dream many of us can relate to.
We’ve been collaborating on a decorating book that will be released this September, and I’ve loved working with her. KariAnne has authored several books, including her newest on decorating styles. Her book The DIY Style Finder and her other titles are available through her site.

The other friend on the tour is Sandy, the creator of Reluctant Entertainer. Her tagline, “Feast on Life,” perfectly captures her approach—she savors travel, nature, good food and the company of friends and family. Sandy and her husband are generous hosts who open their home often, creating space for meaningful conversation and connection around the table.
In Dwelling I share many practical tips for gathering community and inviting people into your home—areas where Sandy excels. On her blog and Instagram you’ll find recipes, hospitality ideas and inspiration for creating memorable gatherings. Her charcuterie boards alone are worth a look for entertaining ideas.
Sandy’s approach to hospitality—simple, welcoming and intentional—makes her a delightful resource and example for anyone who wants to bring people together.
