I love entertaining at home, I almost always do it potluck style. This takes a lot of pressure off of me. I am a single mom and I have all my mom friends over with their kids so we can chat and the kids can play. It's great, I usually do it 1-2 times a month.

I love having friends over. Entertaining does not need to be stressful at all. One idea is having a 'progressive' dinner. Progressive meaning 'continuing' dinner... every week, a group of us meet up for dinner and take turns hosting. Whoever is hosting has the dinner at their place, makes the main dish and the rest bring appetizers, dessert, drinks, etc.
This lightens the load but it also gives us a chance to catch up with one another every week (you can choose to do every other week). It's also an opportunity to show off (or practice) your skills at cooking :)
