How relaxed and unfrazzeled you are . . because you PLANNED. Gorgeous holiday layout.

@CM-yo9jk Год назад

You are my gold standard - but even I was surprised by the baby changing unit & accessories. That was next level! Fantastic. xx All the best for 2023. I am looking forward to hearing more about the year long mentorship programme you hinted at.

@annmarie6570 Год назад

Tracy everything is done with such excellence! The changing table is such a great idea that I would have never thought of. I just love those adorable tiny lamps you have in the kitchen area. Everything is so nice. You definitely know what your doing. So many tips that I will be doing because of you. Thank you

@debbylynch7450 Год назад

Watching the part where you are going over the setup in the foyer brought me back to my days as the chair of our church's hospitality committee! I always set up as much as possible on Saturday afternoon before a Sunday fellowship lunch. I always put the eating utensils and napkins at the end. I found with a big crowd, if you put them at the beginning, people have a tendency to lay those items down as they're getting food and forget to pick them back up, then try to go back to find them.

@TracyHensel Год назад

Yes, that's so true. We found that through hosting parties as well. Often I put the eating utensils and napkins on the table, as you will see in my Instagram Stories highlight on more extensive party set-up. It also takes up space on the banquet tables, where you may need to put a food dish.

@Pam-fh4ji Год назад

What a lovely video....Its not only a very important guide booklet..Its also s peek into your wonderful soul....The world needs more considerate people such as you.. Loads of love from India

Hi Tracy I love and appreciate all the work and detail you put into every video you do! Thank you Would you consider making a video tutorial on some of your Christmas cookies or desserts?I think many people including myself would enjoy it! Thank you

@TracyHensel Год назад

Hi Claudia. Thank you. I truly appreciate it. I have been sharing a lot of my cookie details on Instagram Stories. Please consider following me there to see in-the-moment content. I am done with my baking this year, but I will make a note to consider it for next year. Merry Christmas to you and your family. God Bless!

@janetsplanet2947 Год назад

What a beautiful home you have created. You have the decorations and the party foods set out in such a grandiose style! I bet you’d do a bang up job decorating the White House Tracy! I also love the way you manage your guest bedroom. Particularly the way you have the guests bits and bobs arranged. Do you leave the shelves in the closet always set for the ready? If so, do they get dusty? How do you care for your setup? Merry Christmas!

@TracyHensel Год назад

Thank you, Janet. I appreciate you taking the time to leave such a nice comment. I leave the guest room closet ready for when needed now that my four oldest daughters live independently. Of course, when they were growing up and two daughters shared that closet, it was a pigsty. The shelves do not get dusty as I have my cleaning lady clean the closet as needed.

@junebug052003 Год назад

Hi T ! Your entertaining videos are true gold ... I have learned so much , Also taking notes and screenshots ..Great Content ..loving the family dinners too .....Awaiting the Hensel family COOKBOOK ! :)))

@ericanorris3101 11 месяцев назад

Hi Tracy! Great video with so many wonderful hosting tips. Thank you! I wondered if you would be willing to show the cookie decorating tools you like to use. Also, if you could link them, that would be great. I am in the market to purchase decorating items and would love to use your links. Thank you again!

@TracyHensel 11 месяцев назад

Thank you, Erica! I have had the cookie cutters and everything else to cut out and decorate sugar cookies for many years. I recommend shopping on Amazon and searching for what you are looking for. I will provide a link below, and as long as you open the page with that link and do your shopping, I will receive a small commission. Unfortunately, Amazon's payout is terrible. It's literally cents, not dollars. A $40 purchase from Amazon will pay the content creator about 50 cents. It's sad, and content creators are frustrated by this. But everything adds up, so I do appreciate the token back. Here is a link: rstyle.me/+-plrX_R_u7OAfj4EoTL0Eg

Lots of great tips and ideas for having company for the holidays. But... I was wondering ,what do you do with all your living room furniture? Where does everyone relax and watch movies and hang out after they are done eating?

@TracyHensel Год назад

Thank you. All that information and a walk-through are in a previous Party Hosting and Tips video.

@HannahGeorgina Год назад

Love any video where you show us around your home and how you plan events- so inspiring! Just watched your IG Stories about documenting things down and I did also do your Christmas planning workshop which I loved! Just wondering as I go into the second year of my document, do you start a new one for 2022 from scratch? Or do you go and edit last years to keep any pertinent info available? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks as always for your input. Hannah

@TracyHensel Год назад

Hi Hannah. Thank you for the lovely message and compliment. Great question on the Christmas document. I edit the previous year's document, but if anything needs to be saved from say 2022, I will leave that information, and add in anything new to compliment it. For example, my oldest daughter, Kirstyn and her husband Tim have his 12 year old daughter on Christmas Day every other year, and on opposite years have her on Christmas Eve. This may change details and times to certain events, etc. I want to leave that information on the document. Glad you. found value in the workshop and have found a documenting system that works for you.

@claudiaibarra7065 Год назад

Hi Tracy what a beautiful party 🎉you are amazing! I have a question about the cookies do they change their flavor or their texture when they are thawed out? Very curious

@TracyHensel Год назад

Thank you. No, they don't, but it's essential to store them, as I showed on Stories a couple of weeks ago.

@RosalindTapper Год назад

Hi Tracy. I’d love to know your perspective of tweens and teens at home (especially during the school holidays) and how they choose to spend their time. I work full time, from home as does my husband. I run my own, client centred business so school holidays require the kids to entertain themselves for the most part. I do get concerned with the amount of screen time, FaceTiming friends/boyfriends and xboxing that goes on and I was hoping to have your thoughts on it and how you would handle this type of situation? I don’t want to be unfair to the kids bit I also worry that “there is lots of other things you can be doing!” We live fairly remotely and the kids are 14, 12 and 10. All help and advice always appreciated ❤

@TracyHensel Год назад

Hi Rosalind. It makes sense you have concerns, considering many hours can be what we see as wasted when kids engage in such activities. My thoughts - As long as the kids balance their personal activities with chores being done to your and your husband's expectations and they are not isolating themselves, I wouldn't sweat it too much. It's also important that chores are done in a timely manner to be granted the freedom to engage in their chosen activities. They should not need to be reminded. 'Freedom by performance,' as you often hear me say.

@tiffanyfett1159 Год назад

Hi Tracy, I wanted to get help with health/fitness planning and financial organization in 2023. Would you recommend booking the Goal Getter package?

@TracyHensel Год назад

The 12-session package is the best; however, you can start with 6 and add an additional 6 later.

@thatgirlmadge Год назад

I know you are so great at adding links. Do you have a link for your beautiful top you are wearing?! Thanks!!!

@TracyHensel Год назад

As always, yes! It's also in yesterday's newsletter. In addition, it is currently 50% off.

@jtforever1988 Год назад

Great video! How do you store your Christmas tree?

@TracyHensel Год назад

Thank you. We leave the Christmas tree intact but separate the top two layers, as our ceiling in the basement won't accommodate 12 ft. We then tore it a is in our basement. This helps for a more accessible set up every year. It has worked for us, and the tree has not collected dust. Win-win!

@fairysoulz4903 Год назад

Hi Tracy! I hope you are enjoying your holiday season! I have a question about guests that arrive late no matter what we communicate. My mother in law is without doubt always late. In the past I have told her to arrive at an earlier time then everyone else and she still was late. At a recent gathering she wanted to bring appetizers and then she showed up with appetizers after we had started eating our meal. Sometimes my family is waiting for her so we can begin. I am trying to handle this with grace but I am at my limit with what to do. Any advice is appreciated. And please if you covered this topic I will happily go to the link! Thanks!

@TracyHensel Год назад

Thank you. I am indeed enjoying the holiday season. In response to guests arriving late - Never have anyone who notoriously arrives late bring an appetizer. It would be best to not give them food assignments, but if they insist on contributing, ask them to please bring a dessert. Also, consider giving your mother-in-law a different start time than when the actual party starts, and base this time on how far off she typically arrives. For example, if she naturally comes about an hour late, and your party starts at 2 p.m., tell her the party begins at 1 p.m. instead. If you are concerned that another family may mention the time to her, you could just let them know beforehand. If she mentions that she heard the party started at 2, say, Nope, it starts at 1. You're the host, do it well.

@fairysoulz4903 Год назад

Thank you for taking time to respond. Yes this year was definitely the time when I said she does not need to bring food, and in the past I did tell her to be early it does help. This year the gathering is at my moms and she is invited. I will discuss with my mom how to handle it, example asking my mom if she's comfortable telling her to come early. Funny thing is you are just confirming what I already knew. Your the best, thank you for all you do!

@TracyHensel Год назад

I expanded on my Instagram Stories. I encourage you to go there, too. Merry Christmas!

@fairysoulz4903 Год назад

Perfect! I did watch your Instsgram stories! Thank you very much for that too! I will have to update you on how this goes!

@TracyHensel Год назад

Please do.

@globetrotting2628 Год назад

@R.A.A.1980 Год назад

Off topic but the other day on stories your daughter showed her outfit of choice and it was a mid drift top. To be honest I was surprised. Have you always allowed your daughters free reign on outfit choices?

@TracyHensel Год назад

Pretty much, yes. Their clothing choices have never been a concern. I am not sure what you mean by being surprised.

@stsp8765 Год назад

Random…what color are your kitchen/dining area walls??

@TracyHensel Год назад

I don't know the color off-hand since the house was painted in 2004. Feel free to email my husband. He can look in our house file, get that information and get back to you. His email is paul@tracyhensel.com
