Publisher's Description
The thought of hosting a dinner party or even having a friend over for coffee is enough to give some women flashbacks of lopsided cakes or doomed casseroles from home economics class. But opening up your home to others doesn't have to be fancy or frightening or cost a fortune, says Karen Ehman. In A Life That Says Welcome, she offers a practical, painless (no crafting or cooking aptitude required) course on hospitality. It helps busy women open up their hearts in order to open up their homes. Full of tips, ideas, recipes, to-dos, and how-tos, A Life That Says Welcome shows readers that opening up their homes is less scary and less work than they might think.

“Karen Ehman’s book A Life That Says Welcome is full of practical wisdom and ideas that can make your life more enjoyable and your home a more loving place to be. She believes in opening her heart, and her book shows us many ways we can learn to do the same—not only to strangers (fairly easy) but also to family and friends (usually a bit more difficult). The arts of hospitality and of keeping a home are benefits you’ll gain from her book. I heartily recommend it.”
“Reading a book by Karen Ehman is like sitting down and sharing a cup of tea with a girlfriend. She’s honest, practical, and always has a great sense of humor.

“Karen has provided us with yet another gem! With her usual warm candor, she has opened her life to us, showing all of us how to easily apply hospitality in our everyday lives. Everyone will be better for reading this book.”
“Wouldn’t it be fun to have Martha Stewart, Betty Crocker, and Shirley Dobson as your next-door neighbors? Well, okay, maybe not. How about something even better—your very own “mentor in a book”! Karen Ehman is all of those wonderful influences without the intimidation. If you’ve ever longed for someone to demonstrate what it means to truly make your house a home, then your (and my) prayers have been answered.”
“With warmth, wit, practical ideas, and fantastic recipes, Karen has created ‘Cliff’s Notes’ on hospitality that even a busy, stressed out, non-Martha-Stewart-type woman can enjoy and use in her daily life.”
“From recipes to centerpieces to creative cleaning, Karen shows you how to have ‘fun’ as a family while learning to care for others.”
