With her savvy design skills, successful businesses, enviable marriage, and beautiful (growing!) family, it's difficult to imagine that Joanna Gaines could possibly have any insecurities.

But for being such a household name, the Fixer Upper star is surprisingly down-to-earth. This weekend, the editor-in-chief of Magnolia Journal opened her new restaurant, Magnolia Table, a bit early to host the Darling Media team for a celebration of both magazines' new issues - and things got inspiring.

There's just some people you meet and you feel like you've known them forever. @ladydubbs what you stand for, what you create, and who you make space for - it's such an inspiration to me and so many others. Thank you for celebrating beauty, creativity, and women in such a raw and organic way. So fun getting our magazine teams together to host this #magnoliaxdarling weekend here in Waco. And even though Magnolia Table doesn't open for a little over a month, this was the perfect gathering to christen it! @magnolia @darling #magnoliajournal

"There's just some people you meet and you feel like you've known them forever," the HGTV host captioned Instagram photos (which include a peek at her baby bump) from the gathering. "@ladydubbs [Sarah Dubbeldam CEO & Editor in Chief of Darling] what you stand for, what you create, and who you make space for - it's such an inspiration to me and so many others. Thank you for celebrating beauty, creativity, and women in such a raw and organic way."

Such a joy to bring together @magnolia and @darling tonight. Can’t wait for day 2 tomorrow! ]]>🙌🏼📷🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
