About

Tori Tait, Entertaining Expert and Lifestyle Blogger based on Southern California.

Hey there! My name is Tori Tait.

I'm so glad you're here. I bet (like me) you're drawn to creative ideas, enjoy a pretty cocktail, and are passionate about  a gorgeous flower arrangement. Am I right? Then you're definitely in the right spot.

I'm here to inspire and help you become a confident home entertainer. The best news? I have no desire to overcomplicate things. That's not my jam. I like to keep things simple. From my DIY ideas, to my cocktail recipes, to planning birthday parties. I have a career and a family (including three cute kiddos) that come before my creative self so I totally practice the motto "less is more."

I founded Thoughtfully Simple in 2008 as a way to share my passion of all things creative and to  connect over fun cocktails, cute DIYs, and pretty tablescapes. My goal is to inspire you to tap into your creative confidence, one simple step at a time. Really, no overthinking things allowed with me!

I hope you enjoy your time here and feel inspired with new creative ideas for your life and special occasions. In fact, be sure to sign up to get my emails and get new ideas sent straight to your inbox

And THANK YOU for stopping by, for reading my words, for the comments and community you're helping build here. I know that you're up to great things. And I can't wait to help you along the way.

Tori Tait

Cheers,
