In this episode of Untraditionally Traditional: A Millennial Homemaker, I’m sharing my best tips for feeding a big group — think family reunions, bachelorette trips, and more. I walk through how I plan meals, create grocery lists, and keep things simple but satisfying. I also share my go-to themed dinner nights, egg math, and how we divide up cooking duties stress-free. Plus, I kick things off with my three favorite things of the week: Madewell jeans, Fourth Wing, and our new pet quail. If you're hosting a crowd soon, this episode will help you stay organized and enjoy the time together.

In this episode, I dive into the concept of family rules—inspired by the 2007 film Georgia Rule—and how personalizing your household expectations with your own family name can create a meaningful structure at home. From “no dairy in the car” to “don’t husband bash” I share both light-hearted and serious "Duncan Rules" that shape the culture of our home.

Whether you’re a homemaker, newlywed, or simply craving more intention in your day-to-day routine, this episode will spark ideas for creating your own set of guiding values—big and small—for your household.
