Just like grandmother’s friend, Taffy, who wore a mink over her nightdress to pick up the paper every morning, we like to add a little fancy to our everyday routine. Here at the Hen’s blog we will share our musings and inspirations for gracious living everyday.

"ELEVATE THE EVERYDAY" CHALLENGE Sitting down to a meal with a cloth napkin elevates the everyday. People sit up straighter, listen better, linger longer (our words). Try it for yourself. For the next 30 days add a napkin to your nightly table ~even if just for a few times a week~ and see the impact on the people who join you. (Napkin sale is ending soon ~ stock up!) #livethelittlethings #gather #dinner #family #challenge #onmytable #goodforyoursoul #dinnertime #simplethings
