Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.She taught me how to prepare fabulous food, entertain guests with style and design a traditional home with a pop of color and a splash of animal print. Share my fondness of blending Mother’s mid-century style with a modern spin.

Comment TIDBIT and I`ll send you a link for these fun 🩷💜💙💚🧡💛🩵 bowls.
It’s hosting season and let’s start with a little bowl that does ALOT.
I’ve always loved a tidbit bowl because it’s one of those small things that makes everyday life—and entertaining—a little easier.
Pretty, practical and endlessly useful.
That’s the art of the tidbit bowl.

Comment PUMPKIN and I`ll send you my recipe for Cinnamon Toast Pumpkin Bread.
I love to bake especially in the fall season. You can easily take a boxed mix like this one from @traderjoes and add in things like these orange and ginger jammy bits from @kingarthurbaking.
My adorable dress is from @shoplemoncake. Forest green gingham, beautiful embroidery detail and pockets! The perfect hostess dress.
Remember - you don`t have to bake anything. Buy something you love from your favorite bakery, brew a pot of coffee and sit down with friends.
Host with intention, not perfection.

Years ago I learned a trick from a Mrs. Elizabeth Barlow a 102-year-old hostess that I still love today.
She placed mini Coke cans on a silver tray in her refrigerator. So when she offered a soda, they were presented ice cold on a silver tray. I was so taken with this gesture of hospitality.
Plus it made such a pretty presentation every time she opened the door.
You do not have to wait for company to use your favorite pieces. Put them where you can see them and enjoy them on an ordinary afternoon.
Being your own guest starts with simple touches in your daily routine.
