How to Create a Hosting Closet (Even If You Don’t Have a Closet).
I’ve been hosting for more than 40 years, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the easier you make the process, the more likely you are to open your door and invite people in. Recently, I’ve been listening to women talk about what keeps them from hosting...
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.

Behind 40 years of gathering, collecting, and inheriting, I have found that our cherished pieces lose something when we keep saving them for someday.
Silver can always be polished, and good china was made to be used and enjoyed. These pieces belong in our daily life, surrounded by conversation and the people we welcome into our home.
What cherished piece is tucked away in your cabinet waiting to be brought to the table? 🤍
This was such a fun way to reimagine the traditional cheese board. I shopped at @bjswholesale for supplies:
🧀 Cubed cheddar cheese
🧀 Individual brie bites
🍇 Grapes
🍓 Strawberries
Meats, crackers and pretzels.
I used washi tape for the "Shark"cuterie tags and bait bobbers for the top. Such a cute presentation.
Comment CHEESE and I`ll send you the link for the tags and supplies.

Comment Good Stuff and I`ll send you the link to try it.
My 3pm coffee was turning into my 3am nightmare.
I was pouring a second (okay, third) cup every afternoon just to get through the day. And then lying in bed at midnight wondering why I couldn`t turn my brain off.
One scoop of The Good Stuff in my morning coffee changed my whole routine. The L-theanine extends the energy you get from caffeine so you just need one cup to power your day and feel your best. No jitters. No afternoon crash. No 3am ceiling staring.
And it has a subtle sweetness that doesn`t overwhelm my coffee, just enhances it. Creamy vanilla and cinnamon. Zero added sugar.
I hosted a whole dinner party last weekend and still had energy to actually enjoy it. That`s the part that matters to me.
