Employment: Full-time mom/nurse. Interests/hobbies: Chasing around and taking orders from my tiny 1-year-old girl boss, FIT4MOM Charleston, exploring the Charleston restaurant and brewery scene, traveling and discovering new recipes my husband can cook.  Your favorite Thanksgiving dish: All the sides! Mashed potatoes are my number one! Your favorite way to spend the holiday season/favorite memory: Surrounded by family and good food. We play white elephant with my family, and the gifts are always entertaining and get a good laugh (like Poo-Pourri) or start a fierce game of trades, like the year of the dry shampoo.

I can’t pick which is better. They’re both so simple and so amazing. Your favorite way to spend the holiday season/favorite memory: I love decorating our home for the holidays, making it super cozy and planning elaborate holiday menus with my husband, Patrick. He is a spectacular cook and owns a specialty food company, so he typically takes on the savory holiday dishes, while I do the sweet breakfast items and desserts.

One of my biggest joys is connecting with the people around me in a way that makes them feel valued. Katherine “Kathy”DuBeau Landing Lives in: Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. From: New Orleans.

Favorite quote or philosophy: My favorite quote is, “All knowledge is relevant,” by Ralph Waldo Emerson. My philosophy is to try to live life so that I will have no regrets and to follow the Golden Rule. Wells Grimball Lives in: Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. From: Greenville, South Carolina.
