The Snack Tray: My Hosting "Superpower"

The Snack Tray: My Hosting "Superpower"

I don’t think I’m very good at hosting. I enjoy it and wish I did it more often but I would not say it’s one of my gifts or “superpowers.” I always create a whole lot of extra work for myself to make it all happen but with that, I have learned some tricks to make it easier for me and hopefully more special for my guests.
