    “A happy host is a fun host”. My mother was a even planner and when it came to personal parties, it was something. Your tips, tricks remind me a lot of hers. The home is inviting, gives a true meaning to being a gracious host, delicious food (we eat with our eyes first) and most of all a loving atmosphere. Thank you for sharing your family, time and memories with us. ⛄️💕🌻

    You are 100% correct. A happy host is a fun host. I now shower and dress 45 minutes before everyone arrives (my husband helps the little ones) so that the stress is decreased. You made this suggestion for Shabbos a while ago and it really works. THANK YOU for your videos, you are very busy so they take time, but we ALL LOVE THEM and appreciate the time/effort it takes for you to share your wonderful, time saving and helpful hints.

    Prep kids were adorable…Mr. Prep was a big help as always, and Sonya, you are the hostess with the mostest! Only you could pull that evening off and still enjoy your guests. Everyone looked happy and thrilled to be there! I could taste the teriyaki salmon! Parents of one or two would have ordered in the whole thing, but your loving hands touched every morsel. You save time and energy where you can, which makes total sense. Well done Madame Prep!

    Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year! Loved this video, great to see the family enjoying the holiday and excellent prep tips. Yehoshua was doing a great job helping out.
    I made teriyaki salmon for my parents for Christmas Eve dinner as I wanted something quick and easy because I was working as well as cooking a big meal for Christmas Day lunch. It turned out so well, really moist and delicious, although I cheated by sprinkling garlic powder on the fish before coating in the sauce as I had no time to do the garlic in oil. I served it with egg fried rice (bought ready done), stir fried veggies in oyster sauce and noodles dressed in toasted sesame oil, lime juice and scallions. I chopped my veggies the night before to save time. Thanks for your helpful tips! ❤

    My husband and I used to host a mid week gathering at which I provided a simple meal. Start time was usually 6:30 (I'd come straight from work to get things finalized), but one time a guest arrived before 5:00!!! I should have used more of your prepping ideas because I definitely did NOT feel like a happy, fun host in that moment!!

    I’ve been rewatching some of your videos and have a couple questions but not sure where to put them! I do love your Q & A videos and would love to see more of them. I understand that you probably don’t have time to answer these questions but maybe in a Q & A down the road. I loved hearing your husband answer questions!
    Questions
    What if you want to go away over the weekend or go on vacation, how do you deal with Shabbat?
    How often do you host guests for Shabbat? It seems you make a lot of food so I was wondering if it’s also food for the upcoming week or that you always have lots of friends over for Shabbat?
    Also, I love seeing your children in the videos! They are precious.
