Down South, being a hostess is a big responsibility. Whether it's a bridal or baby shower, a birthday or retirement party, what you prepare and how you present it matters to both the person being celebrated and the guests sharing in the occasion. Lia Baker, Joe Baker’s wife, is a Southern belle at heart who enjoys opening up her home or volunteering to help host anytime she gets the chance. She believes being a hostess is more than just fancy napkins and floral arrangements.
