After a few years throwing my parties and posting them to Project Nursery, I noticed something. Not only did I love doing it, but I was actually pretty darn good at doing it! At the urging of countless friends and family members, specifically my husband who was all "Um, when are you going to turn this expensive hobby of yours into a business, honey?", Entertaining with Emily was born. So, who am I? I'm a wife, mom of three little munchkins for whom I love throwing parties. I've got a design background in interior architecture, from which I pull my love of symmetry, clean lines, and balance into everything I create. I never met a can of spray paint I didn't like, as I have an inherent need to alter everything...just a little bit. Entertaining with Emily features a comprehensive gallery of my own work, my blog with loads of new and fun party ideas, and now an Etsy shop where I am selling my own downloadable printable designs from some of my most pinned parties!

Every year at about this time, I make my family do the yearly “pilgrimage” to take our annual family photos for our holiday cards. The first few years of this endeavor were met with some major resistance by all family members (myself excluded, of course). But as the years have gone on, my family has moved past the resistance stage and moved into what I call the “acceptance stage” of this annual tradition, because they know it’s just not negotiable!
