Welcome to The JOY Curator Blog!

I'm Kimberly JOY, event planner, entrepreneur, seeker of joy, entertaining enthusiast & girl mama, I'm on a mission to empower you to live a life of JOY, and celebrate all the moments big and small, even when life feels hard. There is always a seat at the table for you here.

If you know me well enough, you will know that I would rather do anything than sell my soul, posting about products that I don’t even like. This post contains affiliate links which I am so excited to recommend to you (and make just a little money from) and would hope that if you have the opportunity to recommend products you love, you would do the same.
