Holiday parties are starting soon, so it’s important to have your hostess gifts ready to go. Christmas will be here before you know it! That’s why today I’m sharing Gifts for the Hostess, Friends and Neighbors. These are also great gifts to give to the person who has everything. You also may find ideas to give whoever is hosting Thanksgiving this year. You can click on the items in the image above or links to shop. Be sure and scroll all the way down for even more gift ideas. I am also spotlighting a few charities in case you want to honor someone with a donation.

JAMBO! We’re home from Tanzania, and I’m still dreaming about the Serengeti! Pete and I just spent 11 incredible days with Singita, from the Mara River in the far north to the Grumeti Reserve. This trip was extra special for me because it was a return. My very first African safari was in Tanzania back in 2018 with my BTBE (Best Travel Buddy Ever) Ruth, and you can read all about it in Tanzania: Your Guide to an Amazing African Safari in the Serengeti. Eight years later, I got to share it with Pete to celebrate his birthday (a little early). Today on the blog, I’m sharing our full itinerary day by day, where we stayed, how we got from camp to camp, and all of my best travel tips so you can plan your own trip of a lifetime.

Howdy and Happy Monday! I hope you all had a nice weekend. To start off the week, I want to share my thoughts on the home diffusers I’ve been using over the past several months. I get a lot of questions about which ones I like, so I decided to make a full post about it. It can be hard to tell which one will work best in your space, and these three all offer something different. I use them in different areas of my home, so let’s talk about how each one works and what I like about it!
Howdy! ICYMI, Pete and I just got back from one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever taken: a 10-night Regent Seven Seas cruise on the Seven Seas Grandeur, sailing the Storied Scandinavia itinerary from Stockholm to Oslo. We set sail on August 29 and disembarked on September 8, 2026, and I am still daydreaming about it and the 70 degree weather!
EEK! Less than TEN days away from the 2026 State Fair of Texas! I LOVE to go to the state fair each year and look forward to the food, exhibitions, animals and variety of entertainment. Did you know that I’ve even been a food judge for the fair? It’s true! We’ve been going for over 30 years! Tickets can be purchased HERE. The 2026 fair theme is “STARS, STRIPES, AND HOWDIES!” which is the perfect theme to celebrate the fair in Texas. Over the years I’ve learned a few tips and tricks to easily navigate the State Fair of Texas so I thought I would share them today.
Howdy! Since we are officially into the month of September (how crazy is that?!), it is the perfect time to do a round-up of the top 10 best sellers on TanyaFoster.com from the month of August. There’s a little bit of summer and a little bit of fall in these picks, so it’s perfect for your late summer/early fall wardrobe. Personally, I love the choices you all selected! From fashion to beauty, there’s something for everyone.
Is it just me or are you also SO ready for fall weather? Even though it’s been hot, with grocery stores being filled with pumpkins and pumpkin spice items, it gets me inspired to decorate for fall. Plus, Practical Magic 2 comes out in two weeks! This is why today I’m sharing some fall home decor inspiration. Let’s look at pieces you can add to your home for fall, including items for Halloween and Thanksgiving. These pieces are tasteful and don’t detract from your usual home decor. I know some people who love decorating for each individual holiday and others who like to decorate for the season as a whole. What do you do? I love to decorate for fall and then add some touches for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Right after that, I do major decorating for the Christmas holiday season. But overall I operate by the “one holiday at a time” rule.
You know that feeling when you walk into a beautiful luxury hotel and immediately notice how amazing it smells? There’s just something about a signature scent that makes a space feel more elevated. Well, you don’t have to book a five-star vacation to get the experience! Lately, I’ve been using the Aura House Scent Diffuser to give my home that same fresh, luxurious hotel feel. If you love creating a beautiful home as much as I do, you know that it’s not just about how a space looks. Scent can completely change the atmosphere of a room, and the Aura House diffuser makes it easy to create that elevated experience at home.
