Behind the Scenes :: Book Release Party

For our family and friends, Kirstin and I hosted a book release party at my parent's house.  We served wine, cheese, crackers, pesto gorgonzola and homemade fig jam and blue cheese pizza.  We had a really fun time and were excited to share the book with our close friends - and my enormous family!

My team - Kirstin (my business partner) and Carilyn (my publicist) cooking 

I signed  A LOT of books!
